LeBron James Scores 26 on 11-11 Shooting
Posted on August 30th, 2007 by
LeBron James played a picture perfect first half scoring 26 points on 11-11 shooting, including four three pointers, thunderous dunks, and smooth jumpers in a 118-79 win over Uruguay.
In a sensational display of speed and power, James raised his tournament-leading shooting percentage to an almost comical 79.7 percent (47-of-59). He is 14-of-20 from 3-point range, a 70 percent mark that also leads the event.
The American scoring record in an Olympic qualifying game is 28 points, shared by Carmelo Anthony, and Allen Iverson. The amazing thing was LeBron James was only 2 points shy of that record despite playing only 14 minutes.
