James Worthy says he always thought LeBron James was like Magic Johnson, he just proved him right

LeBron James’ legendary 10-point streak ended after 1297 games.

LeBron James’ 10-point streak lasted nearly 19 years, but it came to an end in Toronto against the Raptors.

He did have a chance to extend his 10-point streak at the end of the fourth quarter with the game tied at 120.

However, James instead elected to pass the ball to Rui Hachimura in the corner who hit the game-winning three at the buzzer.

How LeBron James proved James Worthy right

Instead of trying to extend his streak, James made the right play and passed the ball, which led to the Los Angeles Lakers’ victory.

James’ streak ultimately ended with him being a selfless player and helping his team secure the victory.

James Worthy said on the Spectrum postgame show that he always thought James was like Magic Johnson and he praised him for making the right play at the end of the game.

“When LeBron came into the league, I thought he was like Magic Johnson, assist first score second guy.

“He made the right decision. There is no selfishness in his game. On that play, he could have tried to force the issue and get a foul or maybe get a shot.

“He said, I knew we had numbers, I knew we had four on three, and that’s how the great ones think. He made his man commit, tossed it to Rui.

“That was the right move, and that’s what the great ones do.”

The last time LeBron James scored less than 10 points

James finished the game against the Toronto Raptors with 8 points as he struggled to shoot the ball, going 4-for-17 from the field.

Prior to Thursday, the last time James scored under 10 points in a game was back on January 6, 2007.

In that game, a 22-year-old James managed to score just 8 points with the Cleveland Cavaliers against the Milwaukee Bucks.

In his career, James has more NBA Finals appearances (10) than single-digit games (9).
