Wednesday night was yet another occasion during his legendary 21-year NBA tenure that failed to disappoint the league’s all-time leading scorer, LeBron James.
However, not solely due to his performance in the court.
During the nationally televised match between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks, an astounding statistic was revealed by the ESPN on ABC broadcast. As reported in the broadcast, 35% of all players in NBA history have faced James.
That is quite a stat.
The classification of that 35% figure as a record is debatable; however, it left the NBA community astounded.
At age 39, James, who is ranked ninth all-time in games played, has managed to withstand the trials of Father Time. Wednesday at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, he nearly recorded a triple-double (25 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists) while guiding the Lakers to a 127-110 victory over the Mavs.
In 37 contests this season, James entered the evening with an average of 24.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 7.5 assists.
