LeBron James became the first player in NBA history to surpass 50,000 total points across the regular season and playoffs, hitting the milestone with a first-quarter three-pointer.
He didn’t stop there, finishing with 32 points, eight rebounds, six assists, five three-pointers, two blocks, and a steal to lead the Lakers to their seventh straight win, defeating the Pelicans 136-115.
The victory marked LeBron’s 1,001st career regular-season win, tying Tim Duncan for fourth all-time. Luka Dončić, who contributed 30 points, 15 assists, and eight rebounds, praised LeBron’s longevity, saying, “He might get to 70K.”
