LeBron James, the star player of the Los Angeles Lakers, recently reached a career milestone of 40,000 points in the NBA. He shared that one of the most special moments for him was seeing his daughter Zhuri cheering for him in the stands as he accomplished this feat. James mentioned that Zhuri holds a lot of influence in their household, saying “What Z says goes.” He and his daughter exchanged blown kisses to celebrate this unique achievement, making James the first player in NBA history to reach this landmark.
Despite achieving such a remarkable milestone, James and the Lakers faced a loss to the Denver Nuggets in the game where he hit 40,000 points. With a record of 33-29 so far this season, the Lakers are fighting to secure a spot in the playoffs in the highly competitive Western Conference. Their next game against the Oklahoma City Thunder provides another opportunity for James to continue adding to his impressive point total. The game is scheduled for Monday at 10:30 Eastern time, and there’s no doubt that Zhuri will be there once again, cheering on her dad from the stands.
