LeBron James achieved a milestone by reaching 40,000 points, but despite his historic night, the Denver Nuggets, led by Nikola Jokic with 35 points and 10 rebounds, orchestrated a late surge to secure a 124-114 victory against the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night.

Acknowledging the great performance of Jokic, James expressed his respect for the Serbian center during the post-game press conference.

When asked if there was a solution to stopping Jokic, James simply responded with a concise, "No."

LeBron then listed who else the league has no answer for.

"Joel, Joker, Luka, Giannis, Steph, KD. That's just to name a few," James noted.

Saturday night was the Lakers' 8th consecutive defeat against Jokic's Nuggets, including the 2023 Conference Finals series sweep.
