With 50,000 career points, LeBron James proves age is just a number

When Lebron James first stepped onto the NBA floor in 2003, few could have guessed that this young basketball player would become a legend, whose success would last more than two decades. Even then, LeBron showed amazing skills, and today, with 50,000 points in his career, he has become synonymous with basketball excellence.

NBA pundits have recognized LeBron James' talent from the start, but as always, there were those who were skeptical. Many believed that his high expectations would be too much pressure, and success is not always guaranteed, regardless of his incredible potential.

After breaking the record for the number of points in the regular season, LeBron has been the leader in the playoffs since 2017. The recent game, in which he scored 34 points, was the one that brought him to the figure of 50,033 points, and he marked this moment with the Lakers' 136-115 victory against New Orleans.

Impressive career

It is interesting that LeBron, already in the first period of the game, scored a three-pointer with the assistance of Luka Dončić, which caused the crowd's enthusiasm. While LeBron laid the foundation for the historic moment, Doncic took the lead in the second half, which allowed the Lakers to maintain a safe lead. The successes continued, and Williamson was the best player of New Orleans, but even that was not enough to stop the unstoppable LeBron.

"I'm not going to sugar-coat it – it's a hell of a lot of points," James said afterwards when asked about his 50,000-point scoring milestone.

His influence

The great NBA basketball player has shown his qualities to many, and even now, he continues to amaze with his game. Although the career of this basketball great is at the very end, his impressive success on and off the court leaves an irreplaceable mark. LeBron James is not only a player, but also a role model and inspiration for many young men and women who want to become top athletes. LeBron is living proof that age is not an obstacle, but a challenge, and with each new triumph he shows that it is possible to delight the fans and basketball public.
