LeBron James soars past 40,000 points: A journey through two decades of basketball brilliance

Posted : 03 March 2024

LeBron James, the iconic NBA player, reached a historic milestone by surpassing the 40,000-point mark at the age of 39, solidifying his position as one of the greatest scorers in basketball history. The momentous achievement occurred during the Lakers' 124-114 loss to Denver, adding another remarkable record to James's illustrious career.

 

Reflecting on pivotal moments in LeBron's journey, his NBA debut on October 29, 2003, stands out. At just 18 years old, he showcased his talent for Cleveland against Sacramento, scoring 25 points, 9 assists, and 6 rebounds. Over the years, LeBron continued to make history, crossing the 10,000-point mark on February 27, 2008, becoming the youngest player to achieve this milestone at 23 years and 59 days.

On January 16, 2013, in his third season with Miami, LeBron reached 20,000 points during a game against Golden State, setting another record as the youngest player to accomplish this feat at 28 years and 17 days. Perhaps the most significant milestone came on February 8, 2023, when he surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA's all-time leading scorer, scoring 38,390 points.

 

Fast forward to March 2, 2024, LeBron James needed only nine points to achieve the historic 40,000-point milestone. Despite a spirited effort against Denver, the Lakers fell short, losing 124-114. A brief ceremony marked the occasion, reminiscent of LeBron's past achievements, and he expressed his ongoing confidence on the court, stating, "I still feel like a threat on the court, able to do the same things I did 10, 20 years ago."
