_LeBron James Sets New NBA Record for Most Consecutive Games with a Three-Pointer, Passing Ray Allen_

 

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James continues to etch his name in the NBA record books, setting a new mark for most consecutive games with a three-pointer. James achieved the feat in his 1,148th game, surpassing the legendary Ray Allen’s record of 1,147 games.

 

James, who has been playing in the NBA for nearly two decades, has consistently demonstrated his ability to adapt and evolve as a player. His three-point shooting, in particular, has become a staple of his game, allowing him to stretch defenses and create opportunities for himself and his teammates.

 

The record-breaking three-pointer came in the Lakers’ game against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. James, who finished the game with 26 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists, was his usual dominant self, leading the Lakers to a hard-fought victory.

 

“I’m just grateful to be able to play the game I love for as long as I have,” James said in a post-game interview. “To be able to set records like this is just icing on the cake. I’m proud to be part of a legacy of great shooters like Ray Allen and Reggie Miller.”

 

James’ record-breaking achievement is all the more impressive considering the company he keeps. Stephen Curry, widely regarded as one of the greatest shooters in NBA history, currently sits at 962 games with a three-pointer. To surpass James’ record, Curry would need to play for at least two more seasons, hitting a three-pointer in all but one of those games.

 

While Curry is still an active player and will likely continue to add to his totals, James’ record may prove difficult to surpass. James has shown no signs of slowing down, and his commitment to maintaining a high level of fitness and skill suggests that he will continue to play at an elite level for years to come.

 

“LeBron is a once-in-a-generation player,” said Lakers coach Darvin Ham. “His ability to dominate the game on both ends of the floor is unparalleled. This record is just another testament to his hard work and dedication to his craft.”

 

James’ achievement is also a reflection of his enduring impact on the game. As a four-time NBA champion and four-time MVP, James has cemented his status as one of the all-time greats. His continued success and willingness to adapt to the evolving game have made him a role model for players across the league.

 

“LeBron is an inspiration to us all,” said Mavericks coach Jason Kidd. “His longevity and ability to play at a high level are a testament to his hard work and dedication. We’re honored to have competed against him tonight.”

 

As James continues to add to his impressive resume, fans and pundits alike will be watching with bated breath to see what he achieves next. With his sights set on another NBA championship, James remains focused on the task at hand, driven by his insatiable hunger for success.

 

“I’m just taking it one game at a time,” James said. “I’m focused on helping my team win a championship. If individual records come along the way, that’s great. But the ultimate goal is to bring another title to the city of Los Angeles.”
