LeBron James Reflects on How Much He Loves His Job After Historic Achievement

LeBron James had a triple-double on Thursday as the Lakers beat the Mavericks, 124-104. It was James's 124th career triple-double of his career, which is a lot, but still leaves him quite a few short behind Magic Johnson who is in fourth place on the all-time triple-doubles list. However, it was still a historically significant triple-double as James became the oldest player to ever accomplish the feat and for once, the record he broke for doing something as an old guy wasn't his own.

Karl Malone recorded a triple-double when he was 40 years and 127 days old. Yesterday James was 41 years and 44 days old.
