– Krzyzewski recently interviewed Lakers forward LeBron James.
Old Coach K: “What does it mean to be able to break that record and you’re still at your peak? You have a lot of 40-point games and you’re not struggling to break it. What do you think about that?”
James: “It really hasn’t gotten into it yet. Sitting here and knowing that when my name is mentioned, my city is mentioned, my family is mentioned, the coaches I’ve played for, the many people I’ve worked with
Team-mates are mentioned, and that makes me very humbled.”
In another segment of the program, Coach K said: “Of course LeBron has the right to call himself GOAT (the best in history). Breaking this record now is an achievement that makes him stand out. Because it not only shows what you do, but
You’ve got to do it for a long time, you have to do it for 20 years. And he’s still fighting, so it’s going to be better. I’m not sure if that record will ever be broken.”
