LeBron James continues to climb the record books.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As he plays out his 22nd season in the NBA, LeBron James continues to make NBA history on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Lakers star is still one of the best players in the NBA and is rolling toward yet another All-NBA honor at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday night, he continued climbing the record books in a stat that really shows off his longevity.<\/p>\n

By making the start in Oklahoma City against the Thunder, James tied Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for second on the NBA’s all-time games played list.<\/p>\n

James and Abdul-Jabbar have both played in 1,560 games in their careers, a stat that really showcases how they were able to consistently be available for their teams throughout their long careers.<\/p>\n

With James’ next game, he will stand alone in second place on the leaderboard.<\/p>\n

If James returns for year 23 next season, he will have a strong chance at becoming the all-time leader if he can stay healthy.<\/p>\n

Boston Celtics legend Robert Parish is the all-time leader with 1,611 games played, so James will only need to play a little more than half of the games in 2025-26 in order to top the list.<\/p>\n

On the floor, the Lakers are struggling to keep up with a red-hot Thunder team after crushing them on Sunday in Oklahoma City.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles is in the middle of a very tight playoff race in the Western Conference and are battling to try to both stay out of the play-in and earn home-court in the first round.<\/p>\n

A loss tonight, which is looking more and more likely after the Thunder dropped 80 points in the first half, would be a major hit to the Lakers’ chances of hitting those benchmarks.<\/p>\n

The Memphis Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves, both of whom are right there with the Lakers in the standings, currently lead their respective contests, so this seems like a good chance for them to make up some ground on James and company.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
