LeBron James becomes the fifth player with the most triple-doubles in NBA regular seasons

LeBron James accomplished another great feat in his brilliant career: he became the fifth athlete with the most triple doubles in NBA regular seasons. The “record” was achieved by losing the Los Angeles Lakers against the Sacramento Kings in the early hours of this Thursday, 125 to 110, at the Crypto.com Arena.

Despite the negative result for his team, the number 23 had a brilliant performance with 28 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds, for a total of 35 minutes on the court. With double figures in all three categories, the star of the Californian team reached 108 and surpassed Jason Kidd. He now sits behind Nikola Jokic (109), Magic Johnson (138), Oscar Robertson (181) and Russell Westbrook (189).

At 38 years old and in the 21st season of his career, LeBron James continues to accumulate incredible records and also has the ‘title’ of top scorer in NBA history on his CV, having surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at the beginning of the year. Furthermore, he is the only player to have scored more than 40 points against all teams in the competition, as well as having reached 30,000 points, 10,000 rebounds and 10,000 assists before anyone else, among many other achievements.

King James even tried, but was unable to prevent the Lakers’ loss to the Kings, which ended a three-game winning streak in the NBA. An evening to forget for the team’s other star, center Anthony Davis: nine points and nine rebounds, as well as one assist, decidedly low numbers for the number 3.

Now, after two games in two days, the Californian team will have a period of rest until they return to the field, at midnight, from Friday to Saturday, when they will face the Portland Trail Blazers away from home, in the In-Season Tournament, the new cup NBA. . The Lakers currently lead Group A of the Western Conference with two wins in two games and aim to qualify for the next phase of the debut competition.

Another record for the King. pic.twitter.com/AX2cZnOzfE
