LeBron James, who is currently the oldest player in the competition, just accomplished a new record by scoring 39,000 points in his career—something that has never been done in the NBA.

For the past few days, it has seemed as though every time LeBron James on the court, a record is broken or a new high is reached.

The superstar of the Los Angeles Lakers just became the player with the most points in a game of the 21st season on November 18 against the Blazers with a score of 35. James surpassed his own record two days later, scoring 37 points during the game. November 20, Houston Rockets basket.

Every time LeBron James has taken the field in the last three games, he has achieved a new career high.

LeBron James achieved a new career high today, November 22, when he officially surpassed 39,000 points*. He is the first and only player in NBA history to accomplish it at this time. 

When LeBron made a 3-pointer early in the first half of the NBA In-Season Tournament game against the Utah Jazz at Crypto.com’s home court, it was the ball that got him over the “39K” mark.

*Note: Only the Regular Season is used to compute this score.

Before entering the match against the Utah Jazz this morning (November 22), LeBron James had 38,995 points. This number comes from 1,434 matches and a total of 54,539 minutes played.

In 38,995 points scored over the past 20 years, James has:

_ 14,281 shots into the basket (FGM – Field Goal Made). LeBron’s career average FG rate reached 50.5% in a total of 28,264 shots.

_ 2,290 3-pointers , 34.5% 3PT success rate

_ 8,143 free throws , 73.5% FT success rate

Of course, all of these numbers will increase (for points, FGM, 3PTM and FTM) or change (for FG, 3PT, FT rates) because LeBron James is still playing.
