Today in Sports, October 30 - LeBron James makes NBA debut, has 25 points, 9 assists, 6 rebounds, and 4 steals

Austin Reaves has carried the Lakers and allowed them to start the season over .500 despite being very short-handed.

LeBron James is in a record-breaking 23rd NBA season, and while he has yet to take the floor as he continues to recover from sciatica, he’s remained vocal and supportive of his teammates, who have helped the Los Angeles Lakers improve to 3-2 through their first five games of the season.

Remarkably, in last year's NBA Playoffs, James remained among the league's best. He ranked tenth in the league in points (25.4), rebounds (9.0) and assists (5.6), fourth in minutes played (40.8) and third in steals (2.0). It was a stunning achievement at his age in one of the world's premier athletic competitions.
