LeBron James has so much to celebrate right now, even amid yet another tumultuous season with the Lakers.
The dude is on the cusp of breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s unbreakable record as the NBA’s overall point leader. Not only that, but the guy just became the first player in NBA history to score 40 points against every franchise currently in the league.
The dude is legitimately achieving heights no NBA player has ever thought about or, for that matter, even dreamed could happen. Yet, during the Lakers’ loss to the Clippers where James scored 46 incredible points, he looked so miserable.
Just look at this dude. He looks ready to fight somebody.
LeBron was not having it after dropping 46 PTS in the Lakers' loss last night 😅

It’s hard to blame him. The Lakers did get beaten pretty badly in the 133-115 loss. James’ 46 points didn’t even really matter in the end. He was clearly upset and had the right to be.
The Lakers need more help than just Rui Hachimura. It’ll take way more than that to fix what happened on Tuesday night. It’s up to Rob Pelinka and the Lakers brass to make it happen.
Will they? Only time will tell. One thing is clear, though. If nothing happens, they won’t be sitting with a happy LeBron James.
