#1 LeBron James passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for All-Time games played

If there is any Los Angeles Lakers legend whom LeBron James has been giving tough competition in terms of creating records, it's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Abdul-Jabbar was responsible for bringing five championships to LA and was the NBA all-time scoring leader until James passed him in 2023.

#2 Stephen Curry has six NBA season with 300+ threes made

When it comes to hitting threes, no one does it better than Stephen Curry. Dubbed as the ‘greatest shooter in NBA history,’ Curry leads the league in all-time three-pointers scored and has essentially changed the way basketball is played with his influence and his shooting skills. As of today, Curry entered an elite list of being the only NBA player with six seasons of scoring 300+ threes. This is special since no one else has more than one season as such in the league's history.

#3 Josh Giddey reaches 1000 points, 500 rebounds, and 500 assists this season

Josh Giddey has been showing promising potential as a big man since his time with the OKC Thunder. Giddey has been on a hot streak this season, scoring another triple-double 26 points, 16 rebounds, and 11 assists in the Chicago Bulls' 119-111 win over Miami Heat. With this, Giddey rose up the ranks to become the third NBA player alongside LeBron James and Nikola Jokic to score 1000 points, 500 rebounds, and 500 assists this season.

#4 Luka Doncic surpasses Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 9th most games in Lakers history with 45+ points

This Wednesday night was a special one for Luka Doncic as he returned to Dallas for the first time since being traded. As emotional as this outing was for Luka, he did make sure to make it memorable on the stat sheet as well. Doncic scored 45 points, 8 rebounds, and six assists, adding to a remarkable 112-97 Lakers win. With this, Doncic surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to have the 9th most games in Lakers history with 45+ points.
