As if his 21st NBA season wasn’t already impressive enough, LeBron James broke another one of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s records Monday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. He is now the NBA’s all-time leader in minutes played.
James surpassed Abdul-Jabbar’s mark of 66,300 minutes just a month into the campaign and will have the opportunity to blow that record out of the water by the end of his illustrious career.

The four-time league MVP and the NBA’s all-time leading scorer—a record he broke last season—is averaging 25.5 points per game to go along with 8.0 rebounds and 6.6 assists.
He’s truly defying father time as he continues to build arguably the greatest resume in basketball history.
