LeBron James, a Cavalier record holder for numerous statistical categories, was outdone two nights ago for the first time in his career by a teammate. Kyrie Irving scored a career high 57 points, breaking his Cavalier record of 56 points against the Toronto Raptors back in the 2004-05 season. LeBron did score 61 points last season, but he was a member of the Heat then.
When reminded of the fact that the Cavalier scoring record is no longer his, James responded in rather unexpected fashion:
LeBron doesn't care about getting #Cavs scoring record back from Kyrie: "I've got 15 other franchise records. I don't mind lending one."
