Daron Bland created history late in tonight’s game between the Cowboys and the Commanders. Despite the game being already decided by the fourth quarter in favor of the Cowboys, fans were eagerly awaiting Bland to break a highly-anticipated record. The 24-year-old did not disappoint and broke the NFL’s 30-year-old single-season record with his fifth pick-six of the 2023 season. Obsessed NFL fan LeBron James was hyped about the cornerback’s achievement and gave him his flowers on X, “DARON BLAND!!!!! #HistoryMade”

 

Bland intercepted a pass with under 5 minutes remaining in the game and sprinted to score an amazing touchdown for the Cowboys. The game finished with a score of 45-10, and the Dallas Cowboys improved their record to 8-3. Bland broke Eric Allen’s record, which was set for the Philadelphia Eagles in 1993. Bland, drafted 5th in 2022, has proven to be a tremendous asset for the Cowboys.

King James knows a thing or two about breaking records

LeBron James appreciates greatness when he sees it because he knows how hard it is to dominate a sport. King James has broken countless NBA records in his illustrious career and continues to set new milestones for the next generation. Just this week, LeBron became the only player in NBA history to score more than 39,000 career points. That puts him in a league of his own. In fact, other than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, no player has even come close to reaching that mark.

If he stays healthy, LeBron James could become the first NBA player to ever score 40,000 points. James averages 26.4 points per game this season. At this rate, he will probably cross the 40k mark in the next 40 games. It is great to see a legend like LeBron, who is still breaking records in his 21st season, appreciate the greatness of young athletes like Daron Bland.
