LeBron James Breaks the NBA Career Field Goals Record in the Lakers’ 120-113 Loss to the Nuggets
- On Thursday night, March 5, 2026, LeBron James hit a turnaround 12-foot jumper over Zeke Nnaji with 12 seconds left in the first quarter, giving him 15,838 career field goals to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
- James entered the Denver game needing three field goals to surpass Abdul-Jabbar's mark and earlier tied the record on an alley-oop dunk from Luka Doncic, having attempted 31,274 field goals including more than 7,500 three-pointers.
- At 41, LeBron James continues to pile up longevity records, holding playoff games record at 292 and playoff wins record at 184 while leading in most regular-season points and minutes played.
- The milestone further cements James' place in NBA history as the new field-goal record adds to his résumé; he could pass Robert Parish's 1,611 games on March 16 against the Houston Rockets while finishing a two-year, $101.4 million deal with $52.6 million this season.
- Abdul-Jabbar's career shooting numbers highlight era differences, as he attempted 28,307 field goals with just 18 threes and shot 55.9%, while James has hit 51.6% of his shots and no player besides them has more than 14,000 field goals made.
