6 Records LeBron James Can Break in His 24th Season With 76ers

Last season, LeBron James passed Vince Carter's once-unthinkable mark of 22 NBA seasons played. He became the first player in league history to reach 23. That record felt like a natural stopping point for most observers, the kind no one expected to see extended again.

Instead, James signed with the Philadelphia 76ers this offseason. And at 41, he is about to push his own record even further while chasing a handful of others most players never get within a decade of touching.

Here are the records James has a real shot at breaking or extending in his 24th NBA season.

6 Records LeBron James Can Break in His 24th Season

1. Most Seasons Played

James's 2026-27 campaign will be his 24th in the league. He extended the record he already set last year when he passed Carter's 22 seasons.

No active player is within five seasons of catching him, making this one of the safest bets on the list simply by LeBron James stepping onto an NBA floor.

2. Most Regular-Season Minutes

James already holds this record outright, having passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's mark after 20 seasons. Including the playoffs, James has logged an NBA-record 73,506 total minutes - more than 7,000 ahead of Abdul-Jabbar in second place.

Every minute he plays in Philadelphia this season pushes that total further out of reach.

3. Most Seasons Averaging 20+ Points

James has never once averaged below 20 points in a season, dating back to his rookie year in 2003. That streak currently sits at 23 consecutive seasons, already the longest run in NBA history, with no one else particularly close.

A 20-point average alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey in Philadelphia would stretch that mark to 24 straight.

4. Most 30-Point Games (672)

James passed Michael Jordan's longstanding mark of 671 games with at least 30 points. Wilt Chamberlain sits a distant third at 557. Every 30-point outing in Philadelphia widens a gap that's already historic.

5. Oldest Player to Score 40 in a Game

James is currently the only player in NBA history with multiple 40-point games after turning 40, having already set this mark during his final Lakers season.

Each additional 40-point outburst this year in Philadelphia pushes the bar even further beyond what any other player has approached at that age.

6. First Player to Win Finals MVP With 4 Teams (and Oldest Finals MVP Ever)

This one requires the deepest postseason run and would be the hardest to actually complete. James has already won Finals MVP with the Heat and Cavaliers, and the Lakers would give him three different franchises already.

A title and Finals MVP run with Philadelphia would make him the first player ever to win the award with four separate teams. It will also make him, at 42, the oldest Finals MVP in NBA history by a wide margin.

Tied directly to the record above, a 76ers title would also make James the first player in NBA history to win a championship with four different organizations, having already done it in Miami, Cleveland and Los Angeles.

James already holds several age-based statistical milestones from his final Lakers seasons, and at 41 and 42 this year. He's positioned to extend the record for the oldest player ever to post a triple-double - a mark that speaks less to scoring than to the complete, all-around game he's somehow sustained deep into his 40s.

James is no longer the clear first option on his team. He will share the court with Embiid, Maxey and Jaylen Brown in a role explicitly built around sacrifice rather than usage. Several of these records, particularly the 20-point scoring streak and the Finals MVP milestone, will depend heavily on how Philadelphia's new-look roster actually performs together.

But even in a reduced role, at an age when most players have been retired for half a decade, James remains positioned to extend records that may never be approached again. A reminder that even in what he's called his "last decision," the history-chasing hasn't slowed down at all.
