In every generation, there are players who start a domino effect and roll the ball in such a way that it bulldozes over set records. One such player is LeBron James, an illustrious 17 years career with accolades that are enough to cherish for a lifetime.
Ranking third in most all-time points, LeBron James has added yet another record to his name. Now, he has accumulated mind-blowing 7000 and more career points. Topping it all, he has also become the first Los Angeles Lakers player with 30+points and ten plus assists, all of this in just an NBA Playoff game. This is the first time anyone since 2010 has beaten Kobe Bryant’s record.
