Break a record in every game 😂😂😂

James has been with the Lakers since the 2018-19 season after previously playing 11 seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers and four seasons with the Miami Heat. He made 1,251 triples with the Cavaliers and 365 with the Heat.

Here’s a look at the top 10 in Lakers history:

Kobe Bryant: 1,827 threes
LeBron James: 847 threes
Derek Fisher: 846 threes
Nick Van Exel: 750 threes
Byron Scott: 595 threes
D’Angelo Russell: 591 threes
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: 522 threes
Kyle Kuzma: 510 threes
Eddie Jones: 489 threes
Rick Fox: 480 threes

James is on the shortest list of greatest players in NBA history, and the rise into the history books of a franchise with a history as rich as Los Angeles is a testament to his greatness.

While the modern game relies on the threesome more than in the past, it still moved up to second place on this list within seven seasons.

And he will continue to increase his numbers.
