LeBron James is no stranger to record-setting and the 38-year-old was at it again last night.
The Los Angeles Lakers superstar set a new mark for minutes on court in NBA history across both regular- and post-season action by eclipsing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s previous best of 66,297. James finished the night with 66,319 under his belt.
