Draymond Green recently announced a day of special leave. LeBron Jamesleague superstar and friend of Green for years, just had Karl Malone overtaken and second place in the all-time scorer list NBA conquered. James is still 1,325 points short of the record of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to reach.
Many experts expect the 37-year-old to do the same. When the time comes, his buddy will quit Green already at ESPN, unfortunately he won’t be for them Warriors can run up. But to Lakers-Go to be there live when James to be the best scorer in history.
This anecdote, widely told in the US media, shows that the Lakers been regarding one topic for weeks: their leader’s hunt for the title of “All-Time Leader” in the NBA-Scorer list.
