With the conclusion of his 17th regular season, LeBron James continued to make NBA history even though the Los Angeles Lakers haven’t been that impressive during their seeding games in the bubble. After the Lakers completed their eight seeding games on Thursday afternoon, LeBron James officially became the second player in NBA history to score at least 1,500 points in 17 consecutive seasons, joining Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, according to Justin Kubatko of StatMuse.
LeBron still managed to keep that streak alive last season, even though he had the longest injury absence of his career. LeBron also ended the season as the NBA’s leader in assists per game, something he had previously never done in his legendary career.
While Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo is a heavy favorite to win the NBA MVP award for the second straight season, LeBron James at least made it interesting as he put together the greatest season the game has ever seen from someone playing at age 35.
