New record for LeBron James who continues his quest to be the best in NBA history

Even in the latter stages of his career, when one may think that winding down to a nice retirement is the best option, LeBron James continues to make history in the NBA.

The LA Lakers legend came up against the Dallas Mavericks in the regular season game that initially saw all the cameras pointing at Luka Doncic, following his controversial move from one team to the other.

Debate has raged over everything surrounding the Mavs' decision to let him go and the player himself has been put under the spotlight and scrutinised to levels previously unseen in his case.

But during the game, all eyes were on The King, as he yet again wrote his name into the history books with another sensational performance.
