LeBron James Reaches 50,000 Career Points Milestone
In a historic moment, LeBron James has become the first player in NBA history to score 50,000 points in his career, combining both regular season and playoff points. The milestone came during the game against the New Orleans Pelicans, when James hit a three-pointer in the first quarter.
Before this achievement, James was already the all-time leading scorer in the regular season, surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 2023, and the all-time leading scorer in playoff history since May 2017. At 40 years old, he continues to play at an elite level, averaging 24.8 points, 8 rebounds, and 8.6 assists per game this season.
Los Angeles Lakers are currently on a roll, winning seven games in a row and sitting in second place in the Western Conference. The recent addition of Luka Dončić to the team has further strengthened their position, and James has spoken about the growing chemistry within the squad, expressing optimism about their continued progress together.
