LeBron James is close to reaching 40,000 career points.

James is 491 points away from making yet another NBA milestone.

There is no doubt that LeBron James is among the best players in NBA history, if not the best. He has broken numerous significant records and is a living legend. Even at the age of 39, James continues to showcase his skills on the court. Most recently, he was pivotal against the Clippers, contributing 25 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists to secure a 106-103 victory for the Lakers. James delivered a legendary play, dribbling the ball from his own half before concluding with an iconic slam dunk.

LeBron James is now only 491 points away from reaching 40,000 points. He already holds the record for the most points in NBA history but reaching 40,000 points will be a significant milestone and a record that is likely to stand for many years.

LeBron James season stats: 
◉ 25.2 points per game
◉ 7.3 rebounds per game
◉ 7.4 assists per game

The Lakers have an 18-19 record this season and don't appear to be a team that one should expect to go far in this year's playoffs. They need to put together a winning streak to improve their winning percentage (PCT).
