You look at LeBron stats, and find the closest to 27-7-7 and go check the video on what happened.

That’s interesting. Are there any other star players that never got a game with their career average numbers?

EDIT: turns out it’s more common than usual. Just did two examples of Kobe and Jordan: Kobe never had a 25/5/5 game and Jordan never had 30/6/5

EDIT: further research, and interesting tidbit I found. Shaq had his only career average 24/11/3 game in his first game vs Lakers as a Heat player on Xmas day 2004.

I doubt the footage of that whole game is publicly available. You can just look at the play by play on basketball reference.

To add more context how close it was: I remember at least 10 karma farming threads about 1st ever 27-7-7 game.

They had that head-to-head dunk contest that my brother and I used to compete in. Split screen, just dunking with shit that was amazing.

This game really had my thinking someone could pull off a double between the legs in the NBA eventually lol

Considering his career stats now sit at 26.⁸⁄₇.⁵⁄₇.4, maybe that game was actually spot on for his career. Seems like getting that last board with second to go is kinda like rounding 7.5 to 8

The funniest thing to me was there was a game a few years ago, Lebron literally have 27/7/7 in the closing seconds. Down 5, he hits a buzzer beating 3 to end the night 30/7/7 😭😭

I’ll always take the opportunity of LeBron’s 27/7/7 getting mentioned to let people know that in his last game before playing in the NBA he had 27 points 7 rebounds and 7 assists in the McDonald’s All-American 2003 game

People have literally been talking about this stat for years. You dont find it interesting how someone can average 27/7/7 across 24 seasons yet never actually have a 27/7/7 game?

And here we have one uptight asshole.

In a 2007 game against the Wizards, LeBron had exactly 27/7/7 … Until he grabbed a board with 1 sec left up 7 off of a missed layup from Antonio Daniels.
