LeBron’s Latest Record
LeBron James just added another record to his overflowing shelf. With a casual turnaround jumper, he bypassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record for the most field goals in NBA history. This happened during the Lakers’ 120-113 loss to the Nuggets, because of course it did.
James already dethroned Kareem as the all-time leading scorer back in February. Now, with over 43,000 career points, he’s just padding the stats. He finished the night with a neat 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting. Not too shabby for a guy who’s probably got more records than most players have points.
JJ Redick’s Bruce Springsteen Obsession
Lakers coach JJ Redick decided to take a detour from basketball to express his love for Bruce Springsteen’s discography. Apparently, Springsteen’s evolution mirrors LeBron’s career. Who knew?
Redick likened LeBron’s career to Springsteen’s greatest hits, which is a fair comparison if you ignore the fact that one involves a basketball and the other a guitar. But hey, both have been around forever and are still going strong.
Next Up: Most Games Played
LeBron’s next target? Robert Parish’s record of 1,611 games played. LeBron sits at 1,606, just five games shy. If he sticks to the schedule, he could surpass Parish by March 16 against the Rockets.
Meanwhile, he’s already passed Michael Cooper on the Lakers’ all-time assists list and joined Kobe Bryant as the only Lakers with 1,000 made 3-pointers. It’s like he’s working through a checklist of NBA records.
