LeBron James is without a doubt one of the best players in NBA history. He has already been able to reach several historical records, this time one of Michael Jordan. However, a big question arises regarding the number of games it took him to reach this record.

Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan is still considered by many to be the greatest player in NBA history. Putting together an iconic career in Chicago, Jordan revolutionized the game of basketball. Jordan currently sits as the fifth leading scorer in NBA history,

Besides just scoring points, LeBron has been able to contribute to winning. In that game where he tied Jordan, he helped the Lakers beat the Blazers 114-106. The Lakers are currently sixth in the Western Conference standings and are looking to keep ascending.

In just his second game as a 40-year-old, James had 38 points, three rebounds and eight assists on 15-of-25 from the field and 7-of-10 from deep. It marked the 562nd time that LeBron scored at least 30 points in a regular season game, which ties Michael Jordan for the most all-time.

When the Lakers played the Cavaliers on Tuesday, LeBron James accomplished something no one else has in NBA history.

The NBA GOAT debate has primarily been between Michael Jordan and LeBron James for years, and Thursday night was a reminder why. The latter legend tied Jordan for the most 30-point games in NBA history (562) with his 38-point masterpiece in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 114-106 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.
