Julius Randle Joins Kobe Bryant And Magic Johnson, Among Others In Lakers History

Julius Randle wasn’t just dominant against the Cleveland Cavaliers, he was outright historic as it pertains to Los Angeles Lakers history. Randle set a career high with 36 points, adding 14 rebounds and seven assists in the 127-113 victory.

As such, Randle became the first Lakers player with at least 30 points, 14 rebounds and six assists in a single game since Kobe Bryant had 36-14-8 on March 23, 2008. Despite his prolific stat line, Bryant and the Lakers fell, 115-111, to the Golden State Warriors that night.

Other Lakers since the 1979-80 season to produce such statistics in a single game are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Vlade Divac and Shaquille O’Neal.
