LeBron James achieved another milestone in his iconic career, surpassing Kyle Korver to take seventh place on the NBA’s all-time 3-pointers leaderboard. James accomplished this achievement in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 134–93 defeat against the Miami Heat. His record-setting shot, a straight-on jumper in the third quarter, was the only 3-pointer he made in the game. James wrapped up the evening with 29 points, five rebounds, and eight assists.

Korver’s Humorous Reaction

Korver, recognized for his precision shooting, offered a light-hearted reply upon hearing about LeBron James surpassing his record. “Took you quite a while,” he messaged TNT’s Jared Greenberg while the game was ongoing. The cheerful interaction showcased the shared respect between both athletes.

A Journey of Improvement

James joined the league with a reputation for being weak in outside shooting, but he has consistently enhanced his 3-point accuracy throughout his 22-season career. His enduring career and dedication to enhancing his skills have ensured his place in the record books, surpassing his renowned achievements in scoring and assists.

A Milestone Year for James

This accomplishment completes a significant year for the Lakers star. Earlier this season, James made headlines by playing in an NBA game alongside his son, Bronny James—this marked a historic first for the league. During the summer, he added a third Olympic gold medal and tournament MVP accolades to his impressive resume.

James’ Legacy Grows

LeBron’s capacity to consistently enhance his skills showcases his commitment and basketball intelligence. His recent achievement solidifies his status as one of the most well-rounded players in NBA history. Supporters are keenly anticipating what comes next as James keeps influencing both on and off the court.
