LeBron James, the all-time leading scorer in the NBA, just reached a monumental milestone of 50,000 career points during a recent game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

In the first quarter, James achieved this feat thanks to a left-wing 3-pointer after receiving a pass from Luka Doncic.

This season, James is consistently performing with an average of 25.7 points, 9.1 assists, and 8.1 rebounds per game, boasting shooting percentages of 52.0% from the field and 39.6% from three-point range.

As of now, the Los Angeles Lakers hold a record of 38-21, sharing the second seed in the Western Conference with the Denver Nuggets after they successfully completed a recent six-game winning streak.

Despite being 40 years old, James continues to excel, having won four NBA championships, received four MVP awards, been named to the All-Defensive team six times, and celebrated as a 20-time All-NBA honoree. Over the past six-plus seasons, he has played for the Lakers, following his earlier tenures with the Cleveland Cavaliers (two stints) and a four-year period with the Miami Heat.
