    Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James continues to rack up firsts in his 22nd NBA season.

    James recorded four straight triple-doubles for the first time in his professional career on Friday night during the Lakers’ 120-115 victory over the San Antonio Spurs.

    James finished the win with 15 points, 16 rebounds and 12 assists.

    “Just putting the work in,” James said when asked about the triple-double after the win. “My teammates trust me with the ball. I think they trust me a little too much tonight, with the (seven) turnovers. I have to be a lot better than that when I have the ball in my hands, and I will clean up.

    “But I love the game, and I’m glad I can still come out here and make some plays to help our ball club win.”

    James accomplished the feat in the third quarter of an NBA Cup group game in San Antonio. After his previous triple-doubles against the Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors and Memphis Grizzlies, he has helped the Lakers to four straight victories.

    CONGRATULATIONS TO LEBRON JAMES FOR A 4TH TRIPLE DOUBLE IN A ROW FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS CAREER. THIS IN YEAR 22! AMAZING.

    Jason Jermaine @the oyster papi

    At this point, LeBron is just doing all the side quests to complete the game 100%.

    Allen Sliwa @AllenSliwa

    Lebron gets his fourth straight triple double, the first time in his career. This guy is unreal, about to turn 40 and still in the top 10 of the league

    Jake @coachJS20

    LeBron is playing some of his best basketball overall right now. He’s almost 40.

    Tim Reynolds @By TimReynolds

    LeBron James, last season: 5 triple doubles (71 games)
    LeBron James, this season: 5 triple doubles (12 games)
    The man is not normal.

    nugget chef @jayhaykid

    LeBron James has a triple double in four straight games and he is 39 years and 321 days old.
    The second-oldest player with four consecutive triple doubles was 33 years and 49 days at the end of the streak (Russell Westbrook in 2021).

    James has rewritten the NBA record books in his two decades in the league, most notably with his historic career points total. He passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s 38,387 points in February 2023 and then became the first player in NBA history to surpass 40,000 career points in the regular season in March 2024.

    There’s one NBA record James has yet to touch: Russell Westbrook’s all-time career total of 199 triple-doubles. The triple-double against the Spurs marked the 117th of James’ career, moving the Lakers star behind Westbrook, Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson and Nikola Jokic for the all-time lead.

    Kingsley Morgan @kingsleymorgan_

    LeBron has four consecutive triple-doubles. I think he’s aiming for big records now, and the 199 triple-double mark is next. Mark my words.

    LZ Hunter @_OfficialProta

    What if LeBron just decided he can’t let Westbrook have that triple record and is going after it because it’s the only one left?

    The Lakers star, who has won four NBA championships and three Olympic gold medals, told reporters Ahead of the 2024-2025 NBA season, he didn’t believe there was “anything left for me to accomplish as a basketball player.”

    “Everything else is extra credit. But I’ll accept it. I love it,” James said in October. “I love what I do. But I have everything.”

    The triple-double streak will now count toward that extra credit and cement his legacy as one of the best players — if not, as some fans argued Friday, the best player — in NBA history.

    Just anotherNBAFan™ @Another NBA fan

    Let’s be real.
    LeBron has achieved four straight triple doubles at the age of 39 and is more impressive than any feat MJ has ever achieved.

    Sch @Shoganai_1

    The goat debate is over. 4 back-to-back triple doubles on 40…Lebron moved me

    AK @The gift510

    Lebron James’ body control going to the rim is unreal. I’ve never seen anything like it. Perhaps the best driver in NBA history

    Fred Riley @_fdot757

    Lebron still the best player in the league 😂

    James entered Friday night’s game averaging 24.3 points, 9.4 assists and 8.1 rebounds per game.

    If this were maintained over a full season, this would be his 21st consecutive campaign, good for at least 24 points per game. And he’s doing it while shooting 45.9 percent from behind the arc, which would be a career-best mark over an entire campaign.

    Isaac Gutierrez @byisaacg

    The underrated part of the fact that LeBron is made of vibranium is that we can look back at games where he played against young stars like Wemby when he was still a star. The way we always wanted to see Bron play MJ

    James, who turns 40 in December, recently told reporters that he is “not going to play that much longer” because he doesn’t like the idea of ​​”playing until the wheels fall off.” Fortunately for the Lakers, the wheels don’t appear to be falling off anytime soon.

    Jamal @FinesseBucket

    I hope LeBron doesn’t retire until we see a significant decline. I need at least 5 more years of this.

    The veteran guard will look to extend his triple-double streak to five games on Saturday night during a road game against the New Orleans Pelicans. James is six games away from tying the record set by Westbrook in 2019 when he recorded triple-doubles in 10 straight games.
