LeBron James becomes first to score 50,000 career points as he continues to lead Lakers at All-NBA level

However most importantly, this achievement reflects durability. You may possess all the talent in existence but if you lack the strength to endure as long as LeBron has done so far,you won’t come close to reaching such heights.

This being his 22nd season at age 40 years old; James continues performing at what could be considered a top-5 MVP level with averages of 24.8 points per game along with 8.6 assists and eight rebounds leading into Tuesday’s match-up. He will undoubtedly make All-NBA this year after being named Western Conference Player of the Month — becoming the oldest player ever recognized for such an honor. Following his notable performance where he scored34 points alongside eight rebounds and six assists during thier victory over New Orleans (136-115), James has propelled the Lakers (39-21) onto a seven-game winning streak while securing second place in Western Conference standings.

The fact that James reached this important milestone via a three-pointer is fitting since that particular shot has played an integral role in maintaining his scoring ability throughout his career. While he remains formidable when attacking the rim—especially during transitions or favorable matchups—over time he’s increasingly relied upon three-point shooting as less physically demanding means of scoring opportunities. This season alone sees him converting nearly39%ofhis attempts from beyondthearcon almostsix tries pergame.
