LeBron James Celebrates 40th Birthday with Unbreakable Records
As Lakers’ legend LeBron James celebrates his 40th birthday today, let’s take a look at five of his most unbreakable records.
LeBron James, who is still dominating the game as he enters his 22nd season, continues to deliver impressive performances averaging 23.5 points, 9.0 assists, and 7.9 rebounds per game this season. As he adds another milestone to his illustrious career, let us explore five records that may stand for years to come.
5. Most Seasons Averaging 25+ Points per Game
LeBron James has managed to average at least 25 points per game for an incredible 20 straight seasons, missing the mark only during his rookie year. Even as he enters his 20th season, his ability to consistently put up strong numbers makes this record seem nearly unbreakable.
4. Most All-Star Game Selections
LeBron James leads the all-time list of All-Star Game selections, having been voted into the game 20 times. With Kevin Durant as the closest active player with 14 All-Star appearances, this record appears difficult to break, especially considering LeBron’s continued popularity and performance.
3. Most All-NBA Team Selections
LeBron has earned 20 All-NBA selections in his career, the most in NBA history. With the possibility of securing his 21st selection this season, this record will be challenging for others to match, especially with Kevin Durant following with just 11 selections.
2. All-Time Scoring Record
LeBron James surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the all-time scoring leader, reaching 40,000 career points in 2024. Since only seven players have crossed the 30,000 point mark throughout NBA history, LeBron’s 40,000-point achievement feels virtually untouchable.
1. Longest Streak of 10+ Points in NBA History
Recently, LeBron became the all-time leader in games scoring 10 or more points, surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. James now holds the record with 1,512 consecutive games scoring in double digits. Given LeBron’s consistency, this record will likely remain for a long time.
As fans celebrate LeBron’s 40th birthday, his legacy as one of the greatest basketball players continues to grow.
