LeBron James makes the NBA story: the first player to overcome the 50,000 combined points

LeBron James has added another milestone to his legendary career, becoming the first player in the NBA history to score 50,000 points combined in the regular season and the playoffs.

The 40-year-old reached the brand with style, exhausting a 25-foot triple from an assistance from Luka Doncic at the beginning of the first quarter of the 136-115 Victory of Los Angeles Lakers over the New Orleans’ pelicans on Tuesday night.

James, who is already the top scorer of all NBA times, finished the game with 34 points, pushing his career in total at 60,149 incredible points, an amazing amount of 6,000 points away from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in second place.

The numbers that define LeBron’s career

Regular season points: 41,871 (NBA record)

Postemporada points: 8,162 (NBA record)

Total race points: 50,033 (first player to reach this milestone)

Reflecting on his last achievement, James said:

“I’m not going to sweeten it, it’s very important.”

“I am very blessed to be able to present so many points in my career in the best league in the world and against the best players in the world, it is quite special.”

The Lakers extend the streak, move the second in the west

The Lakers have been in the Red Vivo, winning seven consecutive games and 17 of their last 20, going up to second place at the West Conference with a 39-21 record.

Doncic, who has revitalized the team since his arrival, offered an excellent performance with 30 points, 15 assists and eight rebounds.

Jaxson Hayes took a step forward of 19 points and 10 rebounds, since the Lakers continued to win despite the missing key headlines, Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura.

Meanwhile, Zion Williamson organized a show for the Pelicans with 37 points in 17 of 23 shots, but it was not enough to prevent his team from falling to the 14th place in the west.

Magic Johnson takes tributes to LeBron

Legend of the Lakers, Magic Johnson was one of the first to congratulate James, writing on social networks:

“Congratulations to the king, LeBron James, for becoming the only player in the NBA history to score 50,000 regular season and playoff points!”

Bronny James returns to action: LeBron’s son Bronny James played the last 4:01, scoring two points in his first game since February 12.

Key statistics: No other player has reached 45,000 combined points, rent only 50,000. Abdul-Jabbar remains secondly with 44,149 points.
