How LeBron James channeled inner NBA Jam in 50-point outburst vs. Wizards https://t.co/eCh9losGIG pic.twitter.com/DhabQ8HDY1 – 3:48 AM

Chris Sheridan @sheridanhoops
The 50-point game by LeBron James gives him the league scoring lead by a fraction of a point over Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo. It is not a three-way tie as stats on mainstream sites would seem to indicate. – 3:40 AM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Frank Vogel on LeBron: “The league has never seen a player at this stage of his career do what he’s doing.” – 3:31 AM

Lakers-Wizards was an obvious set-up for a mini-referendum on the trade last summer that both teams might be regretting.
But LeBron James doesn’t care about your narratives. With a 50-point night for the second time in a week, he seized the spotlight: ocregister.com/2022/03/11/leb… – 2:28 AM

With 44 points thus far, and 56 last home game, LeBron is the first Laker since Kobe, in 2006-07, to total 100 points in consecutive home games.
