LeBron James Scores Career-High 61 Points [Video]

LeBron James exploded for a career-high 61 points in the Heat’s 124-107 victory over the Bobcats in Miami on Monday.

James’ outburst established a Heat franchise scoring record, which Glen Rice set with 56 points against the Magic on April 15, 1995.

The four-time MVP surpassed his career high of 56 points, set when he played for the Cavaliers against the Raptors on March 20, 2005. Monday marked the 10th time in James’ 11-year career that he has cracked the 50-point threshold, and it was first time he’s done since so Feb. 2, 2011, when he scored 51 points against the Magic.


James became the second player this season to score at least 60 points in a game, joining Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony, who had a career-high 62 points against the Bobcats in January.

“The man above has given me some unbelievable abilities to play this game of basketball,” James told Sun Sports in a postgame interview. “I try to take advantage of it each and every night.”
