Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James reached a historic 50,000 combined regular and postseason career points on Tuesday night, something no other NBA player in history has done.
James hit the milestone during the Lakers' 136–115 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. Going into the game he needed just one basket to reach 50,000, and ended up hitting it on a three-pointer early in the first quarter. He finished the contest with a total of 34 points, eight rebounds, and six assists, bringing his combined career total to 50,033 overall, per Statmuse.
