‘The King’ reaches a special milestone on his 36th birthday

Another game, another milestone for ‘King James’. 

On his 36th birthday, LeBron James became the first player ever in NBA history to score at least 10 points in 1,000 consecutive regular season games. 

The incredible feat came when James scored off an easy hook shot with 6:15 remaining in the 2nd quarter. 

After surpassing Michael Jordan’s streak of 866 games in March 30, 2018, James has since held the longest streak of most consecutive 10+ point games and continues to extend this record every time he steps on the floor.

According to NBA.com, the last time James failed to score in double figures in a regular season game was on January 5, 2007, when he had 8 points in a Cleveland Cavaliers win over the Milwaukee Bucks. 

“I just go out and try to prepare and be the best every night when I step on the floor,” said James of his remarkable milestone. 

The four-time league MVP James finished with 26 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 121-107 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. 

James will look to extend this streak when they face the Spurs anew on Friday, January 1 (Saturday, January 2, Manila time). – Rappler.com
