Top 5 players with most career field goals in NBA ft. LeBron James

LeBron James continues to check off milestones.

The Los Angeles Lakers may have been inconsistent this season, but LeBron James has consistently been reaching new milestones. The 39-year-old marked yet another milestone during the Lakers’ thrilling 105-104 win over the Utah Jazz on Sunday.

During the game LeBron reached a historic milestone, becoming only the second player in NBA history to make 15,000 career field goals.

The Lakers’ legend finished the game with 27 points, 5 rebounds, and 14 assists and made 12 of his 28 field goal attempts.

LeBron James’ struggles with 3-point shooting continue

While LeBron delivered a steady performance in the Lakers’ win, his struggles with three-point shooting continued.

The veteran forward, who is just one 3-point away from surpassing Kyle Korver for the 7th most threes in NBA history, failed to make a single three in his nine attempts against Jazz. This slump extends James’ three-pointer struggles, as he has now missed 20 straight baskets from beyond the arc over his last four games – the longest drought of his career.
