LeBron James' Scoring Streak Under Scrutiny After Lakers Loss

December 2, 2025 - 21:02

Los Angeles Lakers star forward LeBron James extended his remarkable streak of scoring 10 or more points in a game during a matchup against the Phoenix Suns on Monday night. Despite the Lakers suffering a 125-108 defeat, James managed to score 10 points, marking his impressive achievement of 1,297 consecutive games with double-digit scoring.

However, the performance has drawn criticism from some former NBA players who question the integrity of the streak. They argue that James may be engaging in stat-padding to maintain his record, suggesting that the quality of his contributions in such games could be called into question. This scrutiny raises important discussions about the nature of scoring records in the league and the balance between individual achievements and team success.

As the season progresses, all eyes will be on James to see how he navigates the challenges ahead while maintaining his historic scoring streak. The Lakers and James will need to regroup quickly if they hope to turn their fortunes around.
