Beyond the Points, LeBron Breaks Kareem’s Field Goal Record as Longevity Milestone Looms

In his unprecedented 23rd NBA season, LeBron James has broken another major league record and further strengthened his claim as the greatest ever in basketball history when it comes to his longevity.
In the Los Angeles Lakers' game on Thursday at the Denver Nuggets, he surpassed another former Lakers superstar by the name of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in career made field goals.
Abdul-Jabbar had 15,837 made baskets during his storied 20-year career, which ended back in 1989 but LeBron beat that record on February 7, 2023.
James not only marked his 1,600th NBA game on February 21, 2026. But he also became the first player in league history to surpass 43,000 career regular-season points.
The game itself may have ended with a 111-89 defeat for the Lakers, but the spotlight was firmly on James and his record-breaking achievements.
Lakers coach JJ Redick found the perfect way to describe LeBron James’s never-ending career: he’s the Bruce Springsteen of basketball.
Redick, a huge fan of "The Boss," explained that LeBron just keeps adding to an incredible "catalog" of greatness.
Just like a rock star who never stops touring, LeBron "just plays and plays," constantly racking up new records and historic moments.
For Redick, this milestone isn't just a lucky shot and it's another "greatest hit" in a career that has stayed at the top for over two decades.
Beyond his scoring records, James has also been steadily climbing other all-time lists this season.
He recently passed Michael Cooper to secure the No. 5 spot on the Lakers' all-time assists list.
Furthermore, he joined an exclusive club alongside Kobe Bryant as the only other Laker to achieve 1,000 made 3-point shots for the franchise, demonstrating his versatile offensive impact.
LeBron is about to become the NBA’s ultimate "Iron Man."
He is currently just six games away from breaking Robert Parish’s record for the most games ever played in league history.
If he stays healthy and plays in every upcoming Lakers game, he is on track to claim the top spot on March 16 against the Houston Rockets.
At 41 years old, this milestone is a massive tribute to his durability, proving that "The King" isn't just one of the best to ever play, but also the most resilient.
