But where will he stop?
LeBron James marked the history of basketball and sports a little more on the night of Thursday to Friday.
The star of the City of Angels scored 32 points in the loss of the Lakers to Brooklyn (109-98) in the suburbs of New York.
At the same time, he was also named by the fans captain of the Western selection for the All Star Game which will take place on March 7 in Atlanta.
Kevin Durant (Brooklyn) will be the captain of the Eastern selection.
Despite this setback, the quadruple NBA champion entered even further into the legend of the NBA by becoming the third player in the history of the league to cross the threshold of 35,000 points recorded in his career.
His total at this time is 35,017 points.
In the standings, he is behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the former Lakers legend of the 1970s and 1980s, with 38,387 points and Karl Malone with 36,928 points.
For eternity, Abdul-Jabbar seems untouchable.
But James has in his sights the former "mailman" ("factor") of the Utah Jazz, the current franchise of Rudy Gobert.
Because beyond this cold figure - 35,017 - the career performance of the double Olympic champion is impressive.
Since the start of his career, which began in 2003, LeBron James (36) has played 1,295 NBA games with an astounding average of 27 points per game.
At this rate, he would need another 70 games, less than a full season, to catch up with Malone.
By the same average, he is 124 games behind Abdul-Jabbar.
LeBron James is the 3rd player in NBA history to reach 35,000 career points.

Already, LeBron James has far surpassed two other NBA legends in the ranking of all-time top scorers.
With 33,643 points registered, Kobe Bryant, who died in January 2020, was fourth in the standings ahead of the one who remains despite everything the best basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan who, when he stopped his career in 2003 a few months before the arrival of James, blocked his counter at 32,292 points.
Tony Parker, the best French scorer in NBA history, occupies 52nd place in the standings with a total of 19,473 points scored throughout the 1,254 games of his career.
