"But 1,297 games is so many; it's a ton of games for even a great NBA player to merely appear in. It's 383 more games than Allen Iverson played in his whole career and 98 more than the 1,119 wins the Charlotte Hornets have in their 36 years of existence. LeBron's 1,297-game double-digit scoring streak tells the story of a remarkably consistent player, someone who has been great across three distinct eras, in every situation, for 23 years."
"You could see the end of the streak coming, as James missed the start of this season with a back injury and only barely got to 10 in his team's last game against the Suns. Through most of the 1,297 games, James was rarely forced to strain for his 10. He could score 10 without ever really trying, and the end of the streak feels fitting now, in James's 23rd season, because he's inarguably on the decline."
LeBron James's streak of scoring at least 10 points in every game began on Jan. 5, 2007, and reached 1,297 consecutive games before ending. The streak outpaced Allen Iverson's entire career by 383 games and exceeded the Charlotte Hornets' 36-year win total of 1,119 by 98 games. The run reflects sustained excellence across three distinct eras and 23 years, with James rarely forced to strain for those points. He missed the start of the current season with a back injury and scored eight points against the Raptors, which ended the streak and underscores his ongoing decline.
