LeBron James hopes to win 70 games one season
The Golden State Warriors have looked unstoppable during their historic 16-0 start to this NBA season, so plenty are already wondering whether or not they can reach the 70-win milestone that has been achieved only once in league history.
LeBron James admitted that he, too, would like to be on a 70-win team one day. But with the Cavaliers off to an 11-4 start, it's unlikely that this is the year he could be a part of that type of history.
Cleveland would need to go 59-8 the rest of the way, which isn't going to happen. But if the season ends in the Cavaliers winning their first championship in franchise history, LeBron will probably be just fine with letting this particular achievement remain out of reach.
The best regular-season finish in his career was 66 wins, which he accomplished once with the Cavs and once with the Miami Heat. He'd like to make a run at 70 wins, which has only been done once. With the Golden State Warriors off to a historic start and the topic of 70 surfacing, James conceded he'd like to make a run at it, too.
"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."
