LeBron James breaks NBA record for most regular‑season games as Lakers extend winning streak to nine

MIAMI, March 22 â€" LeBron James broke the NBA record for most regular-season games played yesterday, taking the court for his 1,612th in the Los Angeles Lakers last-gasp 105-104 victory against the Orlando Magic. The 41-year-old basketball icon’s appearance took him one clear of the mark of 1,611 held by Robert Parish since his retirement in 1997. The four-time NBA champion had equaled Parish’s tally on Thursday in stunning fashion, posting a triple-double in the Lakers’ win over the Heat in Miami. It had looked as if James’ milestone appearance yesterday would be tinged with disappointment with Orlando poised to end the Lakers’ eight-game winning streak, leading 104-102 with three seconds on the clock. But a sensational buzzer-beating three-pointer with 0.6sec remaining from Luke Kennard rescued the Lakers to make it nine consecutive victories. The Lakers improved to 46-25 to tighten their grip on third place in the Western...

LeBron James surpasses Robert Parish for most games played in NBA history: How many games has Stephen Curry played?

LeBron James made history in the NBA by surpassing Robert Parish for the most games played, reaching the milestone during the Los Angeles Lakers game against the Orlando Magic on Saturday, the fourth of a six-game road trip, and it raised the question of how many games Stephen Curry has played in his career.

LeBron James’ 3-Word Message Inspires Austin Reaves, Luka Doncic in Miami Win After Grueling Schedule

The Los Angeles Lakers' arrival in Miami on Thursday night felt like a scheduled loss on paper. Coming off a physical battle in Houston less than 24 hours prior, the Lakers were facing a rested and charged Heat squad on the second night of a back-to-back. However, the fatigue that usually plagues teams in the dog days of March was silenced by a three-word declaration from 41-year-old LeBron James. According to Austin Reaves, it was James' refusal to show exhaustion that steeled the roster for what became a historic 134–126 victory. After the game, a tired Austin Reaves told the reporters in the visitors' locker room about why he and Luka Doncic were charged with playing a back-to-back. "When (LeBron) said he was playing, I was like, I can't let a 41-year-old play and I not play, so I signed up to play and so did Luka, and we went and grinded the win out," Reaves told reporters after the game.

Luka Doncic records 60 points vs Heat: When was the last time Lakers’ LeBron James reached this mark?

Luka Doncic made history with the Los Angeles Lakers after scoring 60 points in the win against the Miami Heat. Still, it was important to put Luka Doncic's achievement into perspective, and the question arose: When was the last time LeBron James reached or surpassed that scoring mark in the NBA? The last time LeBron James scored 60 or more points in an NBA game was on March 3, 2014. During that historic night, he recorded the highest scoring total of his career, putting up 61 points while playing for the Miami Heat against the Charlotte Bobcats, before they became the Hornets. The King reached that mark only once in his career, which was impressive, but it gave the sense that Luka could repeat it in his career, given how things are trending in today's NBA, especially considering the league recently witnessed the second-highest scoring performance in history with Bam Adebayo's 83 points . Doncic gives credit to L ebron Despite the fact that Doncic was the star of the...

Lakers' LeBron James advised to follow Heat's Chris Bosh, Cavs' Kevin Love championship blueprint

The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the hottest teams in basketball right now, riding an eight-game winning streak behind Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. The Lakers are starting to look like legitimate contenders, which aligns with LeBron James' wishes. "LeBron wants to compete for a championship," Rich Paul told ESPN. "He knows the Lakers are building for the future. He understands that, but he values a realistic chance of winning it all. We are very appreciative of the partnership that we've had for eight years with Jeanie [Buss] and Rob [Pelinka] and consider the Lakers as a critical part of his career." James has begun to settle into his role as a third option, a transition similar to what some of his former teammates embraced in M iami and Cleveland. Those players—who thrived in that role—also became champions. "Bosh did it for the Heat . The two-time champion lessened his offensive load, and molded himself from...
