The former 4-time Kia MVP also moved up on the all-time 3-pointers made list in a 125-110 loss to the Kings.
LeBron James finishes with 28 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds to pass Jason Kidd for the 5th-most in NBA history.
LeBron James never seems to be lacking in NBA accolades. On Wednesday, he added another one to his career ledger.
James finished with 28 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists to give him his 108th career triple-double, moving him ahead of Hall of Famer Jason Kidd on the NBA’s all-time list. In the 125-110 loss to the Sacramento Kings, James led the Lakers’ rally in the fourth quarter, when they sliced Sacramento’s 26-point lead to nine before running out of steam.
That triple-double was historic in another way as James became the second-oldest player in NBA history to notch a triple-double. Additionally, with his third 3-pointer of the game, James passed Jason Terry (2,282) for 8th on the all-time 3-pointers made list, too.
“I don’t know if you can put a timetable on when he’s going to be done,” said Kings coach Mike Brown, who coached James for five seasons in Cleveland. “I think there’s only one person that can, and that’s him. Well, maybe two, because his wife might be able to do something about that. He’s absolutely amazing to do what he does at his age. It’s phenomenal. I’m amazed every time we go against him.”
To date, James — the NBA’s all-time leading scorer — ranks in the NBA’s all-time top 5 in minutes played (No. 3), field goals made and attempted (No. 2 in both), free throws made (No. 4) and attempted (No. 5) and assists (No. 4)
