Entering his 21st NBA season, James is unmatched in many ways and is pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the sport. On February 7, 2023, he overtook another legend, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, with 38,387 points to take the top spot in the league. After reaching 39,000 points on November 21, he has now advanced the record by one level.

After driving past Denver Nuggets player Michael Porter Junior and making a layup with 10 minutes, 39 seconds remaining in the second quarter of the NBA 2023–24 match, the Los Angeles Lakers titan reached the benchmark.

At the next break, he received a standing ovation. Prior to and following the in-arena video presentation, James raised the ball above his head in response to the cheers.

The only NBA player with at least 10,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, and 10,000 assists is LeBron James. In the history of the league, he has also played the second-most minutes during the regular season and the playoffs.

When Abdul-Jabbar was nearing the conclusion of his career and Darvin Ham, the coach of the Lakers, was a young basketball enthusiast, he believed the record would never be challenged, much less shattered in the manner that James did.

Before the game, Ham remarked, “But here we are.” “The amount of time and money Bron dedicates to his well-being, ensuring not only his physical but also his optimal health, is a testament to him.”
