As the Lakers open the NBA's 2023-24 season in Denver, here's a look at milestones that could be set this year by LeBron James and other players.
LeBron James enters his 21st season as the oldest player in the league and has the chance to extend some of the records he has already set in his incredible career.
This season he closes in on yet another record as he is 1,348 points away from scoring 40,000 points, which would stamp his name in the record books as the first player to hit the mark. This is a reasonable feat for the King to accomplish -- last season he scored 1,590 points -- and using James' career average in points per game , he could reach this milestone by his 49th game this season.
James is entering his 21st season and has scored 10-plus points in 1,151 consecutive regular-season games. He will look to expand the longest streak in NBA history in the Lakers' season opener on Oct. 24 against the defending champion Denver Nuggets. The closest active player to Westbrook's record is James, who has 107 triple-doubles and is only one shy of passing Jason Kidd for fourth place. However, 2023 Finals MVP Nikola Jokic is not far behind with 105.
