Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James tied Robert Parish’s NBA record of 1,611 games played on Thursday in his team’s game at the Miami Heat.
LeBron, 41, reached this figure in the pavilion of the team with which he won the first and second of his four NBA rings.
One step away from another all-time record
The former Cleveland Cavaliers star came into this game in doubt after playing just 24 hours earlier against the Houston Rockets.
But he ended up taking the court in Miami.

An NBA legend
LeBron James has built one of the most impressive careers in NBA history.
Since his debut in 2003 with the Cleveland Cavaliers, he carried enormous expectations that he quickly surpassed by becoming Rookie of the Year.
His first major milestone came in 2012, when he won his first championship with the Miami Heat, followed by another title in 2013.
In 2016, he signed one of the most iconic moments in sports when he led Cleveland to a historic championship after coming from 3-1 down against the Warriors, giving the franchise its first ring.
With the Lakers, he won his fourth title in 2020, reaffirming his longevity and dominance.
On an individual level, LeBron James broke the NBA all-time points record, surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
He has been selected multiple times to the All-Star team.
In addition, his ability to remain at the elite level for more than two decades has led him to equal longevity records such as the number of games played.
Each stage of his career has cemented his legacy as one of the greatest of all time.
