LeBron James Sets New 30-Point Record

LeBron James made history on January 3, 2025, by breaking Michael Jordan's long-standing NBA record for the most 30-point games during the Los Angeles Lakers' victory over the Atlanta Hawks. With a turnaround jumper that brought his total to 30 points in the game, James achieved this milestone for the 563rd time in his career, surpassing Jordan's previous record of 562, which was set in 2003.

James reached this remarkable feat in his 1,523rd game, while Jordan accomplished it in 1,072 games over 15 seasons. This achievement not only highlights James' scoring prowess but also underscores his longevity and consistency in the league, as he continues to perform at an elite level in his 22nd season.

In addition to breaking the 30-point record, James also passed Dirk Nowitzki for the fourth-most games played in regular season history, further solidifying his legacy in the NBA. Just a night earlier, he had tied Jordan's mark by scoring 38 points against the Portland Trail Blazers, showcasing his ability to dominate on the court even at the age of 40.

As of January 5, 2025, the Lakers hold a 20-14 record, placing them fifth in the Western Conference. They are set to face the Houston Rockets later that evening, where James will look to continue his impressive scoring streak and lead his team to further success.
