There are about a little over four hundred players currently playing in the league. But there’s no one quite like LeBron James. Unless you are OG Anunoby.
Anunoby and the New York Knicks were on a historic run this season before the Indiana Pacers defeated them 4-1 in the conference finals.
However, despite the run and miss, the Knicks forward stands second to LeBron James in a unique record.
“OG Anunoby is just the second player in NBA history to rack up more than 40 three-pointers, more than 35 steals and more than 20 blocks in a single postseason. The other player is LeBron James (2016-17),” the Knicks reporter Tommy Beer tweeted.
