LeBron James Becomes First NBA Player to Reach 50,000 Career Points

Posted : 06 March 2025

LeBron James made NBA history by becoming the first player to score 50,000 combined points in regular season and playoff games. The 40-year-old reached the milestone early in the first quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers' 136-115 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, sinking a 25-foot three-pointer off a pass from Luka Doncic. James, who is already the NBA's all-time leading scorer, finished the game with 34 points, bringing his career total to 50,033—over 6,000 points ahead of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who ranks second.

 

James' record-breaking tally consists of 41,871 regular-season points and 8,162 postseason points, further solidifying his dominance in NBA history. Speaking about the achievement, he acknowledged its significance, saying, "I'm not going to sugar-coat it—it's a hell of a lot of points."

 

 He expressed gratitude for being able to compete at the highest level for more than two decades, emphasizing how special it is to achieve such a feat against elite competition. Now in his 22nd season, James has tied Vince Carter for the most seasons played in NBA history.

 

The Lakers' victory was also fueled by an outstanding performance from Luka Doncic, who recorded 30 points, 15 assists, and eight rebounds. The win extended the Lakers' streak to seven consecutive games, propelling them to second place in the Western Conference standings.

 

 James' milestone drew widespread praise, including a tribute from Lakers legend Magic Johnson, who congratulated him on social media for his unprecedented achievement.

 

Earlier that day, James was named the NBA's Western Conference Player of the Month, becoming the oldest player ever to receive the honor. He earned the award by averaging 29.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 6.9 assists over the past month, continuing to defy expectations with his remarkable longevity and consistent excellence.
