LeBron James keeps reshaping NBA history, achieving yet another remarkable milestone in his iconic career. This past weekend, he broke Michael Jordan’s enduring record for the most 30-point games in the league. With a 119-102 win against the Atlanta Hawks, James recorded his 563rd career 30-point game, thereby claiming the top position from Jordan, who had held the record since 2003 with the Chicago Bulls.

In a reflective post-game interview, James expressed deep appreciation for the achievement, saying, “It’s very humbling. Anytime I’m mentioned with any of the greats, and arguably the greatest ever to play the game, super cool. It’s someone I idolized in my childhood, and I wear 23 because of him. So to know that I can sit here and be in the room or in the conversation when you mention MJ is just super-duper dope for me, being a kid from where I’m from.”

At 40 years old, LeBron is still exceeding expectations, having surpassed iconic players like Dirk Nowitzki on the all-time scoring list. He ranks fourth in total games played and is among the select few, alongside Nowitzki and Jordan, to score 30 points in games after his 40th birthday. Following two 30-point performances just days after turning 40, it’s evident that LeBron James shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
