On January 5, Beijing time, James updated social media and posted a poster and goal of surpassing Jordan in 30+ games, with the caption: "Thank you for your inspiration (black cat expression, black cat is also one of Jordan's nicknames)". Many fans congratulated James on setting another all-time first, but others expressed a different opinion.

In the comment section of a report that James scored 30+ games to surpass Jordan, Jordan's backcourt partner Ron Harper wrote: "Who really cares? ”

He then retweeted a fan remark, who wrote: "In the same season, winning the scoring title, winning the regular season MVP, being named to the All-Defensive Team for a while, becoming the playoff scoring champion, and winning the Finals MVP, there have only happened 4 times in NBA history, and these 4 times were created by Michael Jordan." It took James an extra 450 games to tie Jordan's 30+ scoring record, which was disappointing, it wasn't much of an achievement at all, and Jordan was, and always will be, the GOAT (best of all time). ”

"It was never my goal, but I'm always humbled when I'm compared to these great players, let alone Jordan," James said in his post-game interview yesterday. He was my childhood idol and I wore number 23 because of him. So to be on a par with him is really super! ”

Interestingly, when the reporter interviewed Thick Eyebrows, he mentioned how it felt to be a kid from Chicago (Thick Eyebrows' hometown) to see James's statistics surpass Jordan, and Thick Eyebrows teased the old partner: "This bothers me, but what, he used 7 more seasons!" This humor also made the reporters laugh at the scene, and the thick eyebrows then said that this was a remarkable achievement, and felt that James was the first in many statistics at this stage.
