LeBron James continues to expand his legacy in the NBA. The Los Angeles Lakers forward reached 16,000 field goals made in his career, an unprecedented figure in the history of the competition and one that no other player had achieved.
The Akron star has remained at the top of this classification since last season, when he surpassed the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who had established the previous reference with 15,837 baskets.
James reached the historic mark in a new display of versatility, despite not having a particularly high scoring production. He finished the game with 13 points, after converting five of his 10 field goals, in addition to capturing 10 rebounds and distributing eight assists.
His performance also included a steal and a block, statistics that reflect his contribution in different facets of the game.
At 41 years old, LeBron continues to write unprecedented chapters in the history of professional basketball and consolidate a career marked by his extraordinary longevity, consistency and ability to remain among the protagonists of the NBA.
