Magic Johnson doesn’t really encourage LeBron James after his 47-point performance against the Hawks
LeBron James has been referred to as one of the NBA’s Mount Rushmore stars by Magic Johnson. With some of his recent performances, LeBron James has gone backwards once more.
The King scored a staggering 38 points against the Dallas Mavericks, despite the fact that they lost on Christmas. And as it turned out, that was only the beginning. On Friday night against the Atlanta Hawks, LeBron James erupted for a career-high 47 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists.
LeBron James received appropriate recognition for his accomplishment. The King, who turned 38 on the night of his epic achievement, left fans in amazement of what he is still capable of accomplishing at his advanced age. He also managed to set a distinct record by playing on his birthday and became the player with the most career points scored.
On social media, the person who persuaded LeBron James to sign with the Lakers also spoke, sending the King flowers. LeBron James is now among Magic Johnson’s top four NBA players of all time because of his claim that he is a part of the League’s Mount Rushmore.
Magic Johnson has a strong argument for being ranked among the top five NBA players of all time. He had ball-handling skills unlike any other player’s, and during his career, he accomplished almost everything. He didn’t mention the other Mount Rushmore figures, but he was keen to point out that the King belonged there.
It should come as no surprise that LeBron James appears on Mt. Rushmore given that he has recently been mentioned as a potential GOAT. However, not everyone supports this view that the King deserves to be listed among the top 5 NBA players of all time. However, given that James has accomplished more than any other player in history, those assertions are a little insane.
