James, in his 21st NBA season, entered Sunday with averages of 21 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, 1.5 steals and a block.
He remains a focal point of the Lakers’ success and roster building – something unprecedented for a player at this stage of his career.
James had 25 points, nine assists, six rebounds and four steals in that loss to the Kings on Oct. 29, 2003 – the first sign that he’d more than live up to all the hype he received as a high schooler. Kings coach Mike Brown, who coached James on the Cavaliers from 2005-10, said James’ off-the-court accomplishments deserve just as much attention as what he’s done on the court.
“But his off-the-floor accomplishments and the lives that he touched, and the people’s lives that he touched just doesn’t get spoken of enough. I would emphasize that a lot when talking about him because in my opinion, yes, it’s great what’s on the court makes him special but his greatness off the court can put him in another category by himself.
