LeBron James celebrate new NBA (National Basketball Association) milestone at the age of 41-year.
According to BBC, James set the record for the most regular-season games played in NBA history as he helped the Los Angeles Lakers to a dramatic buzzer-beating 105-104 victory against the Orlando Magic in his 1,612th outing.
James moved one clear of Robert Parish's 1997 record of 1,611 appearances, in a game the Lakers won when Luke Kennard scored a three-pointer with 0.6 seconds left.
The four-time NBA champion said, "It just kind of happened. It was not on the list of things that I wanted to accomplish. I wanted to be the best player in this league at some point. I wanted to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, to ever play this game. I wanted to be an NBA champion.”
"I wanted to possibly win rookie of the year, make All-Star appearances, win a gold medal, win some MVPs - those were some of my goals. But some of the stuff that's just been happening over the course of the last few years has been super-duper cool," he added.
James is also the first player to take part in 23 consecutive NBA seasons and is also the NBA's record points’ scorer.
He contributed 12 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals as the Lakers beat Orlando for a ninth straight win.
The Lakers are third in the Western Conference, while Magic are eighth in the Eastern Conference.
"Availability, I've always wanted to be available to my team-mates. It's a mental toll, trying to play a lot and being out there. I just give a lot of praise to the man above and [it's about] just loving the game and appreciating the game," James continued.
James was not the only player to achieve a milestone as Kevin Durant passed NBA legend Michael Jordan to go fifth in the all-time scoring list in regular-season games.
