Related Topics: LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers

With LeBron James in his 21st year of NBA action, it feels as though every time he steps foot on the court, history is happening. It could be something massive like breaking the all-time scoring record last year or a fun fact like becoming eighth in most games played in NBA history, which he accomplished on Monday by beating the Orlando Magic.

Just this past week marked the 20th anniversary of James’ first ever NBA game, which was on October 29, 2003 and, 20 years to the date, he once again faced the Kings on the road, but this time he was donning the purple and gold.
