On Monday night, LeBron James scored a career-high 61 points. And while the feat has drawn near-universal praise from players, one legend of the game is saying, “not so fast.”

Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins took to Twitter on Tuesday morning to explain why James’ career night wasn’t as impressive as it seemed.

No denying he put on a shooting display. He was hot. Let's not forget, he was playing the Bobcats. A sub 500 team w a match up nightmare. — Dominique Wilkins (@DWilkins21) March 4, 2014

Where is the Defense? The Bobcats put up 107 points in a defenseless display of basketball. Offensively who was there to make Bron work on D — Dominique Wilkins (@DWilkins21) March 4, 2014

Why are we not talking about Al Jefferson and the MONSTER night he had 38 and 19! Yes, like I said, Bron got hot & put on a shooting clinic. — Dominique Wilkins (@DWilkins21) March 4, 2014

Watch the film. No close outs on D, doubles were late, rotations were slow. It was too easy to score. At 54 y/o I could drop 40 on that D — Dominique Wilkins (@DWilkins21) March 4, 2014

Bron is a freakish athlete, yes, no doubt. I could say I was too in my prime, but averaging 30 then against the greats like Bird, MJ, King — Dominique Wilkins (@DWilkins21) March 4, 2014

AND having to guard them on the other side was an all out war. You were dogged by halftime and had to pick it up & do it again the 2nd half — Dominique Wilkins (@DWilkins21) March 4, 2014

Let me be clear again, amazing shooting display, he was on fire and VERY efficient. My point is the Cats didn't work him on the other end. — Dominique Wilkins (@DWilkins21) March 4, 2014

It isn't just about slow rotations & poor closeouts. Who made Bron work on the other end w/ Henderson hurt and Al carrying the team? — Dominique Wilkins (@DWilkins21) March 4, 2014

Was this enough to now thrust Bron into MVP vote leads? We forget the body of work KD has been shouldering when Westbrook goes down? — Dominique Wilkins (@DWilkins21) March 4, 2014

My take is not knocking Bron at all. It's really more so about the game & how it has changed. — Dominique Wilkins (@DWilkins21) March 4, 2014

It’s true that James scored his 61 points in a blowout. But the “it was against the Bobcats” argument is a little unfair this season. Charlotte is in position to make the playoffs, and they are no longer the punchline of the league that they have been for several seasons. They have the seventh-best defense in the NBA, allowing 101.6 points per 100 possessions — and this is despite being on the receiving end of two 60-point games this season, one from James and one from Carmelo Anthony.

Sometimes, great players just go off, and there’s not anything even a great defense can do about it.
