LeBron James breaks NBA record for most games played

It feels like LeBron James makes NBA history on a near-nightly basis at this stage of his career, and Saturday night was no exception.

By simply playing in the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Orlando Magic, James broke a tie with Robert Parish to become the NBA’s all time leader in games played with 1,612. James is already the league's leader in all-time postseason games played with 292.

It took James 23 years to become the league's all-time leader in games played after debuting for the Cleveland Cavaliers on Oct. 29, 2003.
