A potential Kyrie deal probably has the highest chance of paying off this season. It’s the long term commitment that would be frightening, and the idea of making him a pillar in the post-LeBron version of the franchise. BK – 7:47 PM

I want the Lakers to trade for Kyrie on Monday so his debut can be Tuesday and have that be the night that LeBron breaks the record. That would be a lot of stuff to get into a game story. – 6:53 PM

The difference between Damian Lillard and Kyrie Irving is this:
Had Lillard played in Cleveland with LeBron/Love, and then in Boston with Tatum/Brown/Hayward and then in Brooklyn with KD/Harden then KD/Ben, he would have 4-6 rings right now. Maybe 2 in each city. pic.twitter.com/MpYfMZnJk8 – 3:40 PM

The clearest illustration yet of the Prestige Zone will be the reaction if Kyrie gets traded to the Lakers (“Hey, if LeBron and AD are healthy, no one in the west is dominant”) vs. the reaction if he gets traded anywhere else. – 3:24 PM

New story: Six of the top scorers in league history played for the Lakers at some point. And LeBron will pass Kareem for No. 1 wearing purple and gold. But Jeanie Buss told ESPN it’s not a Laker record. “This is really about (LeBron). This is his record”es.pn/3js2D0r – 3:11 PM

Don’t for a second doubt that Kyrie Irving’s trade demand has more players behind than Kyrie, himself. Before the blowup in 2017, LeBron and Kyrie talked Jimmy Butler into trying to demand a trade so Cleveland could get him. Then Griff was fired and it instantly went to hell. – 2:54 PM

New story: The scoring record is all well and good but the Lakers – LeBron included – are far more concerned with making a push to the playoffs. And they got a big win in Indy on Thursday to help that pursuit es.pn/3HtTFrr – 10:20 AM

LeBron made a great point last night about how he never really knew the number he was chasing for the all-time scoring record, only that he was chasing Kareem. It’s just harder to make 4- or 5-digit numbers iconic in sports. More NBA fans can tell you about Wilt’s 💯 than 38,387. – 9:57 AM

26 PTS

James has 654 career 25p/5r/5a games, by far the most in NBA history. The third and fourth-ranked players on that list — Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, respectively — have 633 COMBINED.

Whenever LeBron James passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with the 38,388th point of his career – possibly next week at Crypto.com Arena during one of the Lakers’ home games against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday or the Bucks on Thursday – the achievement will be commemorated by the Lakers. But it won’t belong to them. “I think this is a record that really stands out among all the different records in the NBA. I mean, this is the all-time scoring record,” Jeanie Buss told ESPN this week as James edged closer to Abdul-Jabbar. -via ESPN / February 3, 2023
