When the 2024/2025 season begins, LeBron James starts his 22nd season as a professional basketball player. At the ripe old age of 39 and not showing any signs of slowing down, Father Time actually has been trumped. His consistency has remained the hallmark of his legendary career. Some of his records might never be broken.
Achievements bring out a certain sense of pride in a person. However, LeBron James is just different, as recently, a staggering statistic that caught his attention made the rounds on social media. The stat depicted his unprecedented scoring prowess. The stats showed that in his 20-year career, he had hit more 50-point games, 14 times, than in games with fewer than 10 points eight times.
Fresh from winning Gold in Paris, James has remained in the running for the sport’s GOAT with Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan. This latest revelation only adds to the long list of reasons his fans would use to stake their claim. Furthermore, it was revealed that he would need just 1,364 points to reach 50,000 total points combined for the regular season and playoffs. Check out his reaction below:
This is not an impossible feat to achieve, as last season, he scored 1,984 points combined. It is a feat that would mean a lot to him, maybe not as amazing as the prospect of sharing the court with his eldest son, Bronny James. Like all fans, he is equally excited, as he can’t wait to join up with his son in the Lakers’ training camp.

Bronny James has been able to overcome adversity with his performance, drastically improving as the NBA Summer League ended. He hopes his showing during training camp will have a positive effect. This will likely persuade new coach JJ Redick that he deserves a spot on the roster, not in the G-League.
The Lakers kick off the new campaign with six pre-season games. Bronny needs to show his improvement and potential during the pre-season games. If everything goes according to plan, it won’t take long before fans witness a record being made of the first father-son duo sharing the same court on the same team.
