Lakers News: LeBron James Becomes Third Player In NBA History To Reach 1,000 20-Point Games

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James became the third player in NBA history to score 20 points in 1,000 total games in the team’s 95-80 win against the Miami Heat.

This milestone adds to an ever-growing list of achievements in James’ no-doubt Hall of Fame career. And to begin the 2019-20 NBA season so far, he has already set several milestones with his triple-doubles in three straight games.

James had already become the player with the third most 20 point games of all time when he passed Lakers legend Kobe Bryant to reach the 942 mark late in the 2017-18 season.
