"James, standing on the right side of the court by the Crypto.com Arena logo, passed the ball to Luka Doncic, who was positioned on the perimeter to his left. Once James released the ball, Austin Reaves sprung up from the paint to the 3-point line to set a back screen on Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen, who was guarding the Lakers star. The action freed James to advance toward the basket"
"It was James' sixth shot of the game, and his third make. More importantly, it lifted his point total to 11 and assured his double-digit scoring streak -- which he has tended to for 1,294 games spanning nearly 18 years -- would continue. Meanwhile, James' season debut in Utah helped him to potentially maintain a far more prestigious -- albeit less talked about -- streak, one that better encapsulates his sustained greatness."
Midway through the third quarter on Nov. 18 LeBron James executed a sequence that preserved his 1,294‑game double‑digit scoring streak, using a back screen and a pass from Luka Doncic to score a layup. James entered the season as the first player to suit up for a 23rd season. He has been named to an All‑NBA team a record 21 consecutive times, earning his first selection after his second season. He also holds the record with 13 All‑NBA First Team nods, while Kareem Abdul‑Jabbar, Tim Duncan and Kobe Bryant are tied at 15 total selections. The All‑NBA streak is precarious despite James' continued play.
