MIAMI -- After playing Wednesday in Houston, flying through the night, not checking in to his Miami hotel until around 5 a.m. and receiving treatment on his arthritic left foot throughout the day, LeBron James suited up for the Los Angeles Lakers' game against the Miami Heat on Thursday night and made history against his former team.
Thursday was the 1,611th game of James' career, tying Hall of Famer Robert Parish for the all-time games-played mark.
For Parish, seeing the lengths the 41-year-old James goes to in playing in his 23rd season, puts him at peace with someone else holding his record.
