Imagine paying that money for a courtside seat at all. It’s just a dumb waste of money anyway.Imagine paying $75k for a courtside seat only to not see him break the record tonight
If I had an income where $75k was the equivalent of what $75 currently is to me, then I'd also pay it to witness history front-row.
They are not really going for that though. There are some listed for $70k but similar tickets are also listed for $10k and less which is not terrible money for an arena that is in LA. And you can get tickets for upper levels for as little as $120 which is very affordable.Imagine paying $75k for a courtside seat only to not see him break the record tonight
Yeah fair enough. If you can spunk $10k on a seat it probably doesn't matter to you whether it's 10 or 75 either way. You just wanna see him break the record at your own game.
Nah, $10k and $70k is a huge difference. I’m by no means a rich person but there are once in a lifetime experiences where I could see myself spending $10k, but no way would I ever fork out $70k on any short lasting experience.
Cap is supposed to go up significantly this year and over the next couple of season so I don’t see $2m a year extra will be much of an issue. I’m also surprised by $10m, thought his value would be slightly higher. The only problem is you’d be spending like $100m on three centers and would need to extend Edwards soon but then again $10m on a backup center is not the main issue here anyway.
Does not look like it. Toronto seem to be waiting on possible KD availability in the Summer while Nets still hope to build around KD (and probably have enough assets to at least try to surround him with sufficient talent).
You mean Durant or Kyrie ?
I’m pretty sure he has made some history here. He was already the second youngest player to have 2 consecutive 40+ points games after last night, so probably will be the youngest to have 3… also I don’t imagine there are too many players to even have 3 in a row in the first place. Curious to see what records he’s beaten, which will be fully known by morning (I am sure there will be some of the ‘the first player ever named Cameron shorter than 6’6” to xxx’ sort).
The difference between 10k and 75k is a lot. I’m far from being rich but I would spend 10k for example to get a retroactive seat at the 99 CL final, but I wouldn’t spend 75k. If you’re a multimillionaire, yeah I can see it not being a massive issue but if you’re just someone who makes a decent six figure salary, one is doable the other has impacts for your retirement.
Aight fair enough guys! I'm so far off those figures that luckily I don't have to worry about stuff like that
I don’t think it will ever be broken in our lifetimes. Sure enough in 200 years when humanity has found a way to keep body in shape beyond 50 or reach for immortality it will go but assuming no significant changes in aging process of humans, I don’t see anyone having the same consistency over such a long period of time. LeBron will easily play for 3 more seasons after this too and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s still in the league at like 44-45… maybe not scoring 28-30 ppg anymore but still grabbing 20 on the night. If Carter could contribute to an NBA team until 43 then I don’t see LeBron retiring anytime soon.
NBA tend to separate regular season from the playoffs so majority of record being talked about are purely regular season oriented. With the success LeBron has had in the playoffs where outside of the last couple of years he was basically consistently getting far from his early days, his total record is going to be even more impossible to break.
It’s kind of a big deal though. A 10-minute break in the game to celebrate is fine.
Yeah but still. You dont get that in football.

No chance. Technically possible as he is eligible to be traded but I don’t see Lakers doing that.
Rightly so I’d say. It’s disrespectful towards the opponent. Plenty of time to celebrate once the game is over.
Most NBA players don’t take half court shots at the end of quarters to protect their stats.
It really is fitting. But rubs me the wrong way.
We must be watching a different player if you really believe that. He can score in all kind of ways, he's one of the best passers of the ball ever, he's a phsyical specimen.
He's really not pass first though. That's cap. He's a scorer. He will never not try and get his 25 and has averaged like 1.5 assists per game more than MJ who is not pass first apparently
He's basically been criticized the majority of his career for wanting to make the best basketball play instead of getting a shot off himself now suddenly he's a scorer, nah.
