LeBron James will play his 20th season in the NBA and with it he will continue to extend his legacy as one of the best players of all time. Thanks to his long career and his consistent numbers, they are threatening several historical records and here we will tell you what marks he could aspire to with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2022-23.
1. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s scoring record
Perhaps the record that fans most expect from LeBron James, as he is just 1,325 points away from overtaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the all-time scoring leader, something he should have no problem achieving throughout this season. campaign.
2. Top 10 3-point shooters
The longevity of LeBron James and his clear improvement as a three-pointer in recent years will make him climb to tenth place in the overall count, something he will achieve with only four touchdowns behind the three-point line, leaving Paul Pierce behind.
3. Top 40 rebounders in the league
As an all-round player, James will achieve something that few small forwards can afford to say, and that is that he not only exceeded 10,000 rebounds in his career, but in the process he will enter the top 40 of those who accumulate the most in history. He is just 190 shy of overtaking Bill Laimbeer in that position.
4. Top 10 most games played
Another of the records that shows the durability of the “King” in the NBA, since he is only 45 games away from surpassing Jason Terry in tenth place overall, who managed to play a total of 1,410 games in the league. If he stays healthy he shouldn’t have a problem getting it.
5. Top 4 most games with triple double
James is one of the few players in league history with 100-plus triple-double games and is currently just three such appearances away from overtaking Jason Kidd for the all-time fourth spot.
