Indeed, Lebron James has been dominating a long time. Then on Tuesday night, he made history.
Notably, his 25 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in a 112-107 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder gave him another career triple double. Therefore for those keeping score at home, he has 86 in his career. This ranks him fifth all-time.
However, James’ history book entry is something different. Now, he is first player in league history to have a triple-double against all 30 NBA teams, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Currently, the Lakers are rolling with their 12-2 start. Right now, their record at Staples Center sits at 8-1 to begin the year. The last time we saw them there, James was high-fiving Kobe Bryant in between three pointers.
Moreover, on Tuesday; James and the Lakers got after it once again. Check out how he ended the first half, for those who don’t think he can still get up.

Tuesday represents James’ fifth triple-double through 14 games, which includes a stretch of three-straight contests. Coincidentally, Russell Westbrook (formerly of Oklahoma City) is only missing a triple double against his former team; being the player that trails James in this race.
Finally, this stat of record really is a testament to James as a player. Billed coming out of the draft all the way back when as a ‘walking triple double’, James continues to cement his legacy as possibly the best ever.
