With a turnaround shot in the lane, LeBron James scored his 10th point in Wednesday’s Lakers game against the Spurs — his 1,000th consecutive game with at least 10 points.

LeBron is the only player to have reached this number and already held the NBA record, having passed Michael Jordan at 866 years ago (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is third). LeBron’s streak began in his fourth NBA season, on Jan. 6, 2007, in a game against the Nets (LeBron had just eight points the night before in Milwaukee). These are regular season games, not including playoffs.
Add this to the long list of LeBron accomplishments.
