Although the reaction from Lakers fans on Wednesday night was not likely what LeBron James envisioned when he saw he would pass Michael Jordan, the historic nature of his accomplishment will live far beyond how he actually got there.
After having a night to think about it, presumably with a nice dinner and a bottle of fine Italian wine, James woke and posted about how surprised he still is that he actually did what he did. James posted on his Instagram that it “still doesn’t make sense,” while thanking Jordan for his inspiration.
Although many will point to James getting there in more games, it took him over 2,000 fewer field-goal attempts to get there.
