LOS ANGELES (AP) — LeBron James made history on Tuesday night by becoming the first player in NBA history to reach 50,000 points combined in the regular season and postseason. The achievement came during the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the New Orleans Pelicans when James hit a 3-pointer in the first quarter. This milestone is just one of many for the 40-year-old basketball legend who already holds the record for most points scored in both the regular season and playoffs.
James’ career longevity and consistent performance have set him apart from other players. Despite being in his 22nd season, tied for the most in NBA history, he shows no signs of slowing down. In February, he was named the NBA’s Western Conference player of the month after averaging nearly 30 points per game for the Lakers, who had a strong month and moved into second place in the West.
With more than 1,500 regular-season games played and the most postseason games in NBA history, James continues to break records and make history in his illustrious career. His streak of scoring at least 10 points in over 1,200 consecutive games is unmatched in NBA history. At 40, James shows no signs of slowing down and remains a dominant force in the league.
