[1/3] Feb 7, 2023; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (6) celebrates after breaking the all-time scoring record in the third quarter against the Oklahoma City Thunder at Crypto.com Arena.

The Chosen One, now widely referred to as "King James," finished the night with 38 points, bringing his career total to 38,390. The scoring record adds new fuel to the debate over who is the greatest basketball player ever, James or Jordan.

CNN —LeBron James missed a buzzer-beater to tie the game as the Los Angeles Lakers lost 106-104 to the Portland Trail Blazers, taking the LA team’s season record to 0-3. Both missed points were immediately punished by a brilliant Damian Lillard, whose three-pointers took the game away from the Lakers. After his step-back three-pointer put the Trail Blazers up by two, James responded with an easy dunk. But he was immediately beaten by Jerami Grant, who turned James and beat Davis with his lay-up to put the Trail Blazers 104-106. From three games, the team is averaging 21.2% from three-point range and hit only six from 33 attempts against the Trail Blazers.

And he was the starting quarterback in four of the past six Super Bowls, bagging three Lombardi Trophies in that span. At the game Brady attended, Ronaldo became the highest scorer in FIFA history after netting his 807th career goal. Not everyone is brimming with the baseline talents of James or Brady or has the discipline or resources to stick with such regimens. With time, this may radically alter how athletes at all levels are nurtured, and even how nonathletes fend off the crippling effects of age.
