LeBron James has once again proven that there’s no question about his brilliance on the basketball court. Consistently dominating whenever his team needs him, James continues to be a formidable presence. On Tuesday, the Bleacher Report X account highlighted a jaw-dropping statistic: ‘The King’ has achieved 14 more 50-point games in his storied career than games with single-digit scoring (8). Reacting to this astonishing feat, James replied with a string of laughing emojis, clearly amused by his own record.

With a staggering 40,474 points over 1,492 regular-season games, the 39-year-old superstar has cemented his legacy as the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, a record achieved over 21 years in the league. And he’s not done yet—James is set to return to the court with the Los Angeles Lakers next season, looking to add even more points to his remarkable total.

One of James’s standout performances came on March 11, 2022, when he dropped 50 points in the Lakers’ 122-109 victory against the Washington Wizards. That night, he shot 18 of 25 from the field, including 6 of 9 from three-point range, while also contributing seven rebounds and six assists. His first time crossing the 50-point mark was back in 2005 with the Cleveland Cavaliers when he scored 56 points.

Despite his individual success, the Lakers have yet to make any significant offseason signings to build a stronger team around their star player. Jovan Buha, a Lakers insider, recently discussed a scenario where the upcoming season could end up being a write-off if there aren’t any substantial in-season moves
