NBA Makes Blockbuster LeBron James Announcement

LeBron James continues to redefine basketball greatness. Earlier this week, the 40-year-old Los Angeles Lakers star became the first NBA player to surpass 50,000 combined career points in regular-season and playoff games. This historic milestone was achieved during the Lakers’ commanding 136-115 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on March 4, 2025.

The NBA celebrated this achievement on social media, highlighting James’s unparalleled scoring record and building anticipation for the marquee matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks on March 6. In that thrilling game, the Lakers secured a 113-109 overtime win, with James contributing 31 points.

James’s relentless pursuit of excellence doesn’t stop there. Throughout the 2024-2025 season, he has continued to break records, including surpassing Michael Jordan for the most 30-point games in NBA history and becoming the oldest player to score 40 points in a game.

As the season progresses, fans eagerly await James’s next historic accomplishment, solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest athletes in sports history.
