LeBron James Becomes First NBA Player to Surpass 50,000 Career Points

The Lakers star reached the historic milestone during a dominant win over the Pelicans, continuing his record-breaking career.

LeBron James scored his 50,000th combined regular-season and playoff point with a first-quarter three-pointer against the New Orleans Pelicans.
James, already the NBA's all-time leading scorer in regular-season and playoff points, achieved the milestone 22 seasons into his career.
The Lakers defeated the Pelicans 136-115, with James contributing 34 points and Luka Doncic adding 30 points and 15 assists.
The Lakers extended their winning streak to seven games despite injuries to key players Rui Hachimura and Austin Reaves.
James also earned NBA Player of the Month honors for February, averaging 29.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 6.9 assists during the month.
