Another day, another NBA record for LeBron James. He’s marking his name in the history books like it is a piece of cake.

His age has become a much-discussed topic and the King is defying all the odds this season. Bron recorded a triple-double (28 points, 14 rebounds, and 12 assists) in the Los Angeles Lakers‘ overtime win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday.

This was also LeBron’s ninth triple-double after turning 35 years old, and he dethroned Jason Kidd in the history books with this effort. The former New Jersey Nets guard had eight to his name.

In addition, LeBron also overtook Kobe Bryant to become the player with the most triple-doubles after 18 seasons in the NBA. King James now has three triple-doubles to his name as opposed to the late great shooting guard’s two.

Can LeBron James become the oldest player to record a triple-double?

Karl Malone is the oldest player in NBA history to record a triple-double. The durable ‘Mailman’ was 40 years and 127 days old when he had 10 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists against the San Antonio Spurs on November 28, 2003.

On the other hand, LeBron James is 36 years as of now. This means that he will have to lace up his boots for four more seasons to even have a sniff at it. That will also take him into his 22nd season. In the aftermath of their back-to-back overtime wins, LeBron said that he didn’t have a particular target as to how long he would want to play more.

“I don’t know how long I’m going to play the game, I don’t know how much more I’ll be able to give to the game, but the way I feel right now, we’ll see what happens. I have no timetable on it. … The game will let me know when it’s time,” James mentioned.

Judging by his competitive drive and will to overtake Michael Jordan, we may see him continue to grace the game for a few more years and continue to break records!
