LeBron James sets new untouchable NBA record whilst matching Michael Jordan feat

LeBron James has spent his entire career being compared to the great Michael Jordan, and showed exactly why on Tuesday night as the Los Angeles Lakers megastar set an unprecedented NBA record - all while matching one of Jordan's greatest feats.

And last night James added more accolades to his storied career, at the age of 38. He became the first ever player to score 40 points against all 30 teams in the league, with the Los Angeles Clippers the only team he had not dropped that many points on.

James also tied a Jordan record, of three-45-point games - the most of all-time - at the age 38. 'The King' is also now just 177 points away from tying Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time NBA scoring record of 38,387 career points - something he'll be expected to achieve in February.
