LeBron James becomes the first player to score 10+ points in 1000 games straight

On Wednesday, Los Angeles Lakers megastar LeBron James rang in his 36th birthday by extending his 10+ point-scoring streak to quadruple digits, making him the first player in the NBA history score a minimum of 10 points in 1,000 consecutive regular games.

The moment came in a game against the San Antonio Spurs. With about six minutes left in the second quarter, James drew a mismatch on the post against Keldon Johnson, backed him down, and put up an easy hook shot for two points. He ended the night with 26 points in a 121-107 Lakers win.

After the game, James said, “I just go out there and try to prepare and be the best every night I step on the floor.” “If I’m in uniform I’ve got to do things that help our team win. If It’s scoring, rebounding, defending, assisting, doing little thing. Just be available for my teammates throughout the course of the game when I’m on the floor, also on the bench. And I’ve been fortunate enough to do that throughout my career for the majority of it,” he added.

The record was previously held by Michael Jordan by scoring at least 10 points in 866 games straight. James passed it for the longest double-digit scoring streak in NBA history on March 30, 2018. He scored 27 points against the New Orleans Pelicans to move up to the No. 1 spot on the all-time list with 867 consecutive games of at least 10 points. The second-longest active streak belongs to James Harden at 411 consecutive games. The streak itself is equivalent to almost 12.2 full seasons in a row. Great Hall of Famers like James Worthy and Isiah Thomas did not even play 1,000 regular-season games in their whole career.
