The Yellow and Purple squad have received a lot of criticism from the fans following the losses. But, they also had a silver lining, their best player just broke an 18-Year-Old record during the game.

The four-time NBA champion broke the record for most 20-point games, beating a former Basketball legend. But a large section of fans were not so excited about it. Rather they decided to shower the Lakers superstar with criticism for his team’s current performances.

Fans have called out the Lakers superstar for not uplifting the game of his teammates. The current performances of the Lakers contribute to such a thought process for the 37-Year-old legend.

James has averaged 25.8 PPG in 2022-23, which is decent. But it has gone in vain since the team is struggling to get their first break of the season. Other players had sub-par performances too, much to the disappointment of the fans.

James en route to another record

The Lakers superstar is inches away from breaking another record in 2022-23. The 37-year-old is expected to break the all-time top scorer record of the great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar which has been held intact since 1989.
