LeBron James returned to Miami for the first time as a Laker and went off on the franchise he won two titles with. He dropped 51-points on the Heat during a 113-97 win.
With the performance LeBron became the first Laker since Kobe Bryant to score 50 in a game. He also made NBA history by becoming the 3rd player with multiple 40-point games in his 16th season or later.
The other two are Kobe Bryant and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, both of them also did it with the Lakers.
