LeBron James is once again showing us that age is just a number in the NBA. Already the league's all-time leading scorer, LeBron added another accolade to his storied career by becoming the all-time leader in made field goals earlier this season.
In a thrilling matchup where the Los Angeles Lakers triumphed over the Miami Heat 134-126, LeBron tied the legendary Robert Parish for the most career games played at 1,611. But he didn't stop there-taking the court against the Orlando Magic on Saturday, he set a new record for career regular-season games played.
At 41 years old, LeBron continues to defy expectations, having kicked off his 23rd season back in October. Not only does he hold the record for regular-season appearances, but he's also the leader in career playoff games with 292, and he's gearing up to extend that number next month.
This season, LeBron is averaging 21.3 points with an impressive 51.6% shooting from the field, along with 5.8 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game. Embracing his role as the Lakers' third scoring option, he's showing his adaptability and basketball IQ.
The Lakers are thriving, sitting in third place in the Western Conference with a 45-25 record and riding an eight-game winning streak. LeBron's impact, both on and off the court, continues to be monumental, proving that he's still very much a force to be reckoned with in the league.
