LeBron James Surpasses Kidd for 5th in NBA Triple-Doubles, Makes History

In an action-packed scene on the basketball court, LeBron James, with his signature dynamism, outperformed Jason Kidd to secure the 5th position in the NBA's all-time list for triple-doubles. Despite a challenging 125-110 defeat against the Kings, James's pursuit for basketball excellence was undeterred. The four-time Kia MVP also advanced in the all-time 3-pointers made list.

James delivered an impressive performance with 28 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists, earning his 108th career triple-double and surpassing the renowned Jason Kidd. In the game's climax, James led the Lakers in a valiant comeback attempt in the fourth quarter, cutting down the Kings' 26-point lead to just nine, demonstrating their team's tenacity and fighting spirit.

This particular triple-double by James was significant not just as a statistic, but it also made him the second-oldest player in NBA history to achieve such a feat. Further enhancing his legend, with his third 3-pointer of the game, he moved past Jason Terry (2,282) for the 8th position in the all-time 3-pointers made list.

Reflecting on James' astounding performance and longevity, Kings coach Mike Brown, who previously coached James for five seasons in Cleveland, acknowledged the difficulty in predicting when James would conclude his illustrious career. He hinted that only James, and possibly his wife, might have a say in that decision. Brown expressed his amazement and admiration for what James continues to achieve, especially given his age.

As it stands, James, the NBA's leading scorer, holds prestigious rankings in the all-time NBA records. He is third in minutes played, second in both field goals made and attempted, fourth in free throws made and fifth in attempts, and notably fourth in assists. His ongoing career is a testament to his exceptional talent and enduring impact on the game of basketball.
