LeBron James achieved a notable milestone by delivering his fourth consecutive triple-double in the Lakers’ 120-115 win against the San Antonio Spurs. Even in his 22nd season in the NBA, LeBron James still impresses basketball fans with his performance. James concluded the game with 15 points, 16 rebounds, and 12 assists, proving he is still going strong.
A Humble Approach to Greatness
Following the match, James acknowledged his teammates for having faith in him to handle the ball. “Admitting to committing seven turnovers, he acknowledged that he needs to clean up his game.” In spite of his modesty, James’ triple-doubles have played a crucial role in the Lakers’ four straight victories, including standout showings against the 76ers, Raptors, and Grizzlies.
Climbing the Triple-Double Ladder
James currently holds the fifth spot on the all-time list with 117 career triple-doubles. Even though he hasn’t reached Russell Westbrook’s record of 199, James continues to build on his legacy with his accomplishments. He has already achieved the title of the NBA’s top scorer in history and has won the championship four times.
Historic Shooting and Longevity
In this current season, James has been scoring an average of 24.3 points, dishing out 9.4 assists, and grabbing 8.1 rebounds per game, all while achieving a personal best 45.9% shooting percentage from three-point range. If continued, he will reach his 21st consecutive season with an average of 24 points.
Looking Ahead
LeBron is turning 40 in December but it seems like he’s not slowing down at all. He suggested that he won’t stop playing until he can no longer, but the Lakers are clearly getting value from his time on the court. LeBron James will try to achieve his fifth consecutive triple-double against the Pelicans this Saturday, getting closer to Westbrook’s streak of 10 in a row.
LeBron’s ongoing journey remains inspirational, solidifying arguments for his status as the greatest player ever.
