The Lakers had just finished a trip with a win in Philadelphia. LeBron James passed Kobe Bryant for third on the scoring list, but hours later Bryant would die.

Kobe Bryant, daughter Gianna and seven others perished in a helicopter crash on Jan. 26, 2020. Remembering the Lakers legend a year later.

The Lakers won in Houston, with James scoring 31, before getting blown out in Boston, with reporters crunching numbers to figure out what it would take for James to make history in New York.The trip to New York would be memorable for other reasons. Vogel, co-owner Jeanie Buss and executives Rob Pelinka and Kurt Rambis attended a memorial for former NBA commissioner David Stern at Radio City Music Hall.

“Out of all the things that I’ve done in my career as far as individual accolades, things have happened organically because I just go about my business,” James said that night. “I don’t think about it going into it saying, ‘OK, this is what I got to do. This is how many points I need, this is how many assists I need.’ When it happens, it happens.The fans sitting courtside that Saturday night in Philadelphia took out their phones and aimed them at the paint.

At the next timeout, the crowd gave James a standing ovation. He offered a quick wave of acknowledgement and sat down on the Lakers’ bench. “We don’t appreciate each other as much as we should as a humanity,” he said. “And I think something like that should be appreciated. You should appreciate people while they’re alive.”
