LeBron James Fans Beg For Los Angeles Lakers To Get Him Help After 46-Point Effort In Loss

In this story:
LeBron James is the king of cryptic tweets.
After Tuesday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, James added another to the long list. He tweeted out an alien emoji after scoring 46 points in a losing effort, becoming the first player to have 40 against every NBA team in a career.
My guess is the tweet referred to James playing out of this world because he's on a recent tear while chasing the league's all-time scoring record.

James hit a career-high nine 3-pointers and is now 178 points of passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the all-time leading scorer. He also became the first player to score 40 points against every NBA team in a career.

Despite the accomplishments, the Lakers are 22-26 and No. 13 in the Western Conference standings. James could miss the playoffs for a second straight year.
We’re gonna get you some help Goat 🐐

The Lakers recently traded for power forward Rui Hachimura and are anxiously awaiting the return of Anthony Davis, so hopefully James gets the help he needs to make a postseason push. Otherwise, the greatness of this season will be wasted.
