Los Angeles: LeBron James just keeps adding to his legacy. In a game against the Sacramento Kings, he not only helped the Lakers secure a 113-100 win but also broke the record for the most minutes played in NBA history. Can you believe it? He surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record of 57,446 minutes!
It was a special night for LeBron, who walked off the court in the same city where he started his NBA journey over 21 years ago. He mentioned that this achievement reflects his dedication and love for the game, having spent over 957 hours on the court.
In the game, Austin Reaves led the Lakers with 25 points, while LeBron contributed 19 points, six rebounds, and seven assists. Anthony Davis also had a strong performance with 21 points and a whopping 18 rebounds. The Lakers really showed their teamwork and energy, especially after a few days off.
LeBron played 34 minutes, finishing with a total of 57,471 career minutes. It’s impressive, especially considering he recently took a break to recover from a foot issue. He seems to be more open to resting when needed, which is a smart move as he approaches 40.
The Lakers jumped out to an early lead, thanks to their solid defense and some great shooting from beyond the arc. They made seven three-pointers in the first quarter alone! Even when the Kings took the lead, the Lakers’ key players stepped up to regain control.
Defensively, the Lakers have been on fire, holding opponents to under 100 points in three of their last four games. It’s exciting to see how they’re coming together as a team. They’ll face the Kings again on Saturday, and it’ll be interesting to see if they can keep this momentum going!
