LeBron James makes a startling confession about his incredible 47-point performance against the Hawk
LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers claimed to score 40 points against the Atlanta Hawks, but he would be lying if he said he didn’t believe he was capable of doing so.
In his post-game interview with Spectrum SportsNet, James acknowledged as much, revealing that his poor start had him questioning if he could even reach 40 points. LeBron scored just two points on 1-of-5 hitting in the first quarter but finished with 47 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists.
“Before the game, I predicted [getting 40 points], so I had to make it happen. I didn’t know it was going to happen after starting 1-for-5,” James said. The entire NBA Twitter was overflowing after the 38-year- old’s performance as it was also his birthday that day.
After helping the Lakers to a 130–121 victory, fans praised LeBron and crowned him the GOAT. LeBron’s performance is undoubtedly one he will never forget, especially given his mother and wife were sitting courtside.
LeBron James recovered from a poor first quarter by scoring 16 points on 6-of-8 field goal shooting in the second. After that, he was just unstoppable, scoring 29 points in an improved second half on an efficient 11 of 14 shooting, including 3-of-4 from beyond the arc.
LeBron was having a discussion following the victory when Dennis Schroder entered to offer his congratulations. Then, LeBron asserted that he had foreseen his 40-point outburst in advance of the matchup. LeBron James has recently been under criticism from NBA fans. James frequently tells meaningless falsehoods, according to his fans. He is now being followed by this picture at every turn. Fans this time around reject LBJ’s claims despite Dennis Schroder’s evidence.
