Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has actually been around for a long, long, very long time. In a sense, it appears difficult to think he was ever young.
On Thursday, he set the NBA record to show it.
James is now the NBA’s all-time leader in minutes played, having actually broken Hall of Fame center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s mark Thursday throughout the Lakers’ video game versus the Sacramento Kings.
Abdul-Jabbar played 57,446 minutes throughout his renowned profession; James has actually now played 57,447 and counting. That is over 957 hours of basketball– a little under 40 days’ worth, which relates to roughly 0.3% of James’s life.

Hall of Fame forwards Karl Malone, Dirk Nowitzki and Kevin Garnett complete the leading 5.
James, who will turn 40 on Dec. 30, broke Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time scoring record on Feb. 7, 2023.
The senior statesman continues to run at a high level, balancing 22.8 points, 8 rebounds and 9.1 helps per video game this season.
