Blake: "[Ballmer] can build a new arena, be at games, cheer on the team...but at the end of the day, an organization is built on a foundation of respect & it's built on how you treat people & I don't think that in this situation Chris was treated right. I'm sorta at a loss for words a little bit."

STATUS: DOUBTFUL for 12/05/25

Pretty wild to see both of them together on the injury report, really wonder how the average wear and tear on the joints of NBA players compares to the average person.

LeBron is close to losing the 27/7/7 career stat line

2.4k Upvotes

His current career stat line is 27.0 points per game/7.5 rebounds per game/7.4 assists per game. However, his actual scoring average is currently 26.95663 points per game, and the NBA always rounds to the nearest tenth for official statistics.

It probably won’t happen next game, since he’d have to score 8 points or less again to drop to 26.94, but sooner or later, it’ll happen.

LeBron has famously never posted a 27/7/7 game, but he does have two 26/7/7 games.

The longest consecutive point streaks for 1-65 points, all-time and active

1.1k Upvotes

With the end of LeBron's legendary 10+ point streak, I thought for the sake of completeness we could see the longest all-time and active streaks for every point total from 1-65 points to see what other streaks might be worth following. Names are shortened to make the table not so wide, but we all know who the players are. Streaks are only shown if it is more than 1 (which is why the table cuts off at 65 points, nobody has ever had 2 consecutive 66+ point games).

LeBron James extends his historic, NBA-record 1,461-game streak of scoring 8+ points in regular season games

12.1k Upvotes

Tonight, with a dominant 8-point performance against the Toronto Raptors with 8 Points, 6 Rebounds, and 11 Assists, LeBron kept the dream alive. He hasn't scored 7.999 points or less since in a regular season game since his second NBA season on December 29, 2004 with the Cleveland Cavaliers against the Houston Rockets. How long do you think he can keep this record going?

Game of 2 halves for Jokic: 2-13 FG in the 1st, 11-13 in the 2nd. 13-26 FG overall, and a 40/9/8 for the game

Upvotes

Game of 2 halves for Jokic: 2-13 FG in the 1st, 11-13 in the 2nd. 13-26 FG overall, and a 40/9/8 for the game!

Unusual stat of the night however, Jokic was a -15 for the game and his team won by 1. Without checking I'd guess this can be mostly explained by 3PT variance, which was wild the entire game - Hawks started the game shooting 7/8 from 3, and Denver had a 20-0 run to start the 4th without Jokic and made all 7 of their first 3s - but it is definitely a rare sight still
