After scoring 35 tonight lebron now holds this record.
Dirk previously held this record at 30 points against the suns on April 9th 2019 during his 21st season.
Dirk played 33 minutes with a stat line of 30/8/3 on 11/31 FG.
Lebron played 42 minutes tonight. His statline 35/11/7 on 13-19 shooting.
Obviously him breaking this record is expected but lebron put on an absolute masterclass tonight at his age. He’ll probably break it again at some point this season but i think it’s just fun and wild he broke it only 5 games into the season.
Spoiler alert. He’ll also break the record for points scored in a game by a player in their 22nd season
