LeBron Eyes Record-Breaking Season…
LeBron James has seen and done almost everything in the NBA during his 22-year career, but like a superhero with an ever-growing utility belt, he’s not done yet. As he prepares for his 23rd season in 2025-26, the Los Angeles Lakers star is eyeing more milestones. This offseason, there was a brief kerfuffle when he opted into the final year of his contract, sparking wild gossip that it could be his last tango in Los Angeles. But, turns out, he’s happily sticking around, aiming for a fifth championship. LeBron continues defying age like it’s just a bad haircut, staying fit and focused, which lets him break records that former stars could only dream about.
Notably, during this season, LeBron can pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the all-time leader in made field goals, as he’s just 350 shy of Kareem’s 15,837. Given “The King” has made at least 400 field goals almost every season (he made 651 in 2024-25), it’s like asking LeBron to beat a toddler in a slam dunk contest. Entering his 23rd season, he’ll surpass Vince Carter for the most seasons in the NBA, and he’s merely 50 games away from becoming the all-time leader in regular-season games played. Plus, when the Lakers face the Golden State Warriors on opening night, he’s only two made 3-pointers away from passing Reggie Miller for sixth place on the all-time 3-point field goal list. While LeBron has always fancied himself more of a passer, his offense speaks volumes, and his feats have fans and players alike, including Tyrese Maxey, questioning if he’s the GOAT. It’s no wonder Shaquille O’Neal picked LeBron over current NBA stars—maybe Shaq is getting early access to the LeBron highlight reel!
