With two blocks in Thursday's loss to the San Antonio Spurs, James became the first player in NBA history to rank among the top 100 all-time in points, rebound, assists, blocks, steals and three-pointers made.

The Lakers lost to San Antonio by a score of 138-110, their fourth straight defeat. The future Hall of Famer has racked up a lot of numbers, but it has not translated to consistent winning basketball as the Lakers have been ravaged by injuries and COVID-19. Heading into their Christmas Day clash with the Brooklyn Nets, the Lakers are sixth in the Western Conference.
Depending on how long James plays, he could finish on the all-time lists. If he averages 20 points per game for 123 more games, he will pass Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA's all-time leading scorer.
If he plays two more seasons, he'll be in a good position to rank fourth all-time in assists, and he'll probably top out somewhere in the mid 30s in rebound. He will finish his career second in minutes, behind only Abdul-Jabbar.
James has never before seen a level of greatness like that.
