On January 3rd, Beijing time, the NBA regular season saw the Lakers host the Trail Blazers, and James achieved another milestone. He tied with Dirk Nowitzki for fourth place in career regular-season appearances and equaled Michael Jordan's record of 562 games with 30+ points, ranking first in history.
In the previous victory against the Trail Blazers, James was sidelined due to injury. In today's home game against the Trail Blazers, Anthony Davis (left ankle sprain) missed the game due to injury, but James continued to lead the team as a starter. Before the game, James entered the court stylishly wearing shorts, slippers, and a hooded sweatshirt.
The game officially started, and in the first quarter, James scored 4 points and provided 3 assists. In the second quarter, he unleashed his full power, unstoppable with crushing drives and also scoring from beyond the arc, contributing 14 points in a single quarter to turn the tide of the game. By halftime, James had accumulated 18 points and 5 assists. In the second half, James hit three three-pointers in the third quarter alone, and in the final quarter, he continued to score, officially creating a great record as his points exceeded 30+ for the game.
James has now achieved 562 career regular-season games with at least 30 points, tying him with Michael Jordan for first place in history, and it is foreseeable that he will soon hold this record solely.
This season, James has scored at least 30 points in eight games. It is worth noting that the current record for points scored by an NBA player over 40 years old in a single game is held by Jordan with 43 points. Do you think James can surpass Jordan in the future?
Additionally, James' regular-season appearance count has reached 1522 games, tying him with Dirk Nowitzki for fourth place in history. If he plays one more game, he will surpass Nowitzki. With just 20 more games, James' appearance count could surpass Vince Carter and rise to third place in history.
Throughout his career, James has set countless records as the best in history, and in the future, he will continue to forge his own legend of eternal youth.
