All the NBA records from the incredible career of LeBron James

LeBron James, star of the Los Angeles Lakers, continues to expand a legend that, at this point, is not just about breaking records but taking them to a practically unreachable level.

The latest milestone came on March 21 when he surpassed the historic record for regular-season games played. The record belonged to Robert Parish, who reached 1,611 games on April 19, 1997. Nearly 29 years later, LeBron left that behind by stepping onto the court against the Orlando Magic, reaching 1,612 games.

At 40 years old, LeBron's impact goes beyond longevity. His statistical dominance spans almost all relevant categories in NBA history.

Regarding accolades, he leads the All-NBA selections with 21, six more than legends like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Tim Duncan, and Kobe Bryant. He is also the youngest and oldest player to be part of one of these lineups. He tops the appearances in the All-NBA First Team with 13, surpassing Bryant and Karl Malone.

In scoring, his dominance is even more evident. He surpassed Abdul-Jabbar as the all-time leading scorer three years ago and continues to widen the gap with over 43,000 points. The distance to Michael Jordan, fifth on the list, is greater than that between Jordan and Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is much further down the ranking.

LeBron also leads advanced metrics like Win Shares in the regular season (275.6) and VORP (158.8), where he clearly surpasses Jordan and John Stockton. In the playoffs, his dominance remains: he is the player with the most points (8,289), wins (184), and highest number of Win Shares (59.5), also leading the VORP in the postseason.

His impact in key moments is also historic. With five buzzer-beaters in the playoffs, he surpasses any other player and has as many as Jordan, Bryant, and Kawhi Leonard combined.

Consistency has been another hallmark. LeBron holds the longest streak of consecutive games scoring at least 10 points, with 1,297 straight games, and also leads in the number of games with 30 or more points, with 699 between the regular season and playoffs.

In the All-Star game, he has been a constant presence for over two decades. He has been selected 22 times, three more than Abdul-Jabbar, and is the all-time leading scorer in the event with 449 points, ahead of Bryant and Kevin Durant.

All of these are reinforced by cumulative records that further showcase his longevity: more minutes, more field goals made, more playoff games (292), more postseason minutes, and more steals in the playoffs than anyone else. He is also the player with the most seasons played (23) and the highest earnings in the history of the league.

Even in less highlighted categories like turnovers or All-Star losses, his name stands at the top, a reflection of a career as extensive as it is dominant.
