LeBron James is undoubtedly one of the game's all-time greats, and as he continues to try to add championships to what's already a Hall of Fame résumé, there are other achievements that he has his eyes on.
Only one team in NBA history -- the 1996 Chicago Bulls -- has managed to exceed 70 wins during the 82-game regular season. With talk of the undefeated Golden State Warriors potentially being able to accomplish it this year, James admitted he'd like to one day be a part of a team capable of reaching that milestone.
“You’ve got to have talent, man. You gotta have talent. You gotta have talent. That’s the No. 1 thing,” he said. “No matter if you’ve got the greatest system in the world, you gotta have talent to be able to equalize that and execute that. But I don’t know. It’d have been great to be on a team to win 70 games, it’s just another feat in your career.”
The Cavaliers would need to go 59-8 the rest of the way to get to 70 wins, and with multiple players out due to injury (including Kyrie Irving), at this point, it seems downright impossible.
