5. Most seasons averaging 25+ points per game

LeBron James has managed to average at least 25 points per game for an incredible 20 straight seasons, missing the mark only during his rookie year. Even as LeBron enters his 20th season, he is still consistently putting up strong numbers, averaging 23.5 points per game this season. This record seems nearly unbreakable.

4. Most All-Star game selections

LeBron James is the all-time leader in All-Star Game selections, having been voted into the game 20 times. The closest active player in the list is Kevin Durant who has 14 All-Star appearances. Given the increasing competition for All-Star spots, and the fact that LeBron continues to earn votes year after year, it’s hard to imagine this record falling anytime soon.

3. Most All-NBA team selections

LeBron James has earned 20 All-NBA selections in his career, the most in NBA history. With his current level of play, he could very well secure his 21st selection this season. The next closest active player to LeBron in All-NBA selections is Kevin Durant, with 11. This is another record that will be incredibly hard to break anytime soon.

2. All-time scoring record

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar held the All-Time scoring record for an incredible 38 years, but LeBron James finally surpassed him. LeBron reached 40,000 career points in 2024. Given that only seven players have reached 30,000 career points, LeBron’s 40,000-point record feels virtually untouchable.

1. Longest streak of 10+ points in NBA history

LeBron James recently became the all-time leader in games with 10 or more points, surpassing the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. James now holds the record with 1,512 consecutive games of scoring in double digits, a feat that has never been done before in NBA history. Given LeBron’s consistency, it’s safe to say this one, like many others, might stand for a very long time.
