LeBron James Becomes NBA’s All-Time Minutes Leader
LeBron James has once again cemented his place in NBA history, this time as the player to have spent the most amount of time on the basketball court. On Monday, during the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against Philadelphia, LeBron surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA’s all-time leader in minutes, including playoffs, with 66,298 career minutes.
At almost 39 years old, LeBron continues to add to his already impressive resume, setting records that are unlikely to be broken. Last year, he became the all-time leading scorer in the regular season, and now, he holds the records for both points and minutes, including playoffs.
“King James” has been putting up historical averages of about 25 points per game along with 8 rebounds and 7 assists in his 21st season. In addition to his regular season accomplishments, LeBron also holds the record for the most minutes played in the playoffs, with a substantial lead over second-place Tim Duncan.
While Kareem Abdul-Jabbar still holds the top spot for minutes played in the regular season alone, with 57,446 minutes, LeBron is expected to overtake him in the coming months.
It is clear that LeBron James has left an indelible mark on the NBA, with a career unlike any other. As the debate about the greatest of all time continues, one thing is certain – LeBron’s career is one for the history books.
