He has achieved numerous impressive feats throughout his career and continues to dominate in the league despite being the oldest active player.

At the start of the 2024-25 NBA season, James made history by becoming the first father-son duo to play together in the NBA, teaming up with his son Bronny. Recently, James also achieved another milestone in a game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

In the recent game against the Blazers, James reached the milestone of 1,542 games played in his professional career. With this achievement, the Lakers superstar surpassed Vince Carter to take the No. 3 spot on the NBA’s all-time most games-played list. Additionally, James is now just 18 games away from surpassing the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who played 1,560 games in his career. Robert Parish holds the record for the most games played in NBA history, with 1,611 games.

On February 7, 2023, James achieved a monumental milestone by surpassing Abdul-Jabbar, securing his spot as the all-time leading scorer in the league. Fans are excited as they await James to potentially shatter yet another prestigious record held by the iconic Abdul-Jabbar.
