LeBron James breaks Michael Jordan’s record for most 30-point games

From the No. 23 on his uniform to the turnaround, fadeaway shot he hit in the fourth quarter to reach the feat, LeBron James simultaneously honored Michael Jordan while also breaking his record for the most 30-point games in NBA history in the Los Angeles Lakers’ victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night. “It’s very humbling,” James said after the Lakers won 119-102 for their eighth win in the past 11 games. “Anytime I’m mentioned with any of the greats, and arguably the greatest ever to play the game, super cool. It’s someone I idolized in my childhood, and I wear 23 because of him. So to know that I can sit here and be in the room or in the conversation or whatever it is, when you mention MJ, it’s just super-duper dope for me, being a kid from where I’m from.”
