LeBron Makes History Again as Lakers Top Grizzlies
The Lakers’ win over the Grizzlies turned into much more than just another regular-season victory, because once again, LeBron James found a way to rewrite NBA history. Just days after celebrating his 41st birthday on December 30, LeBron delivered a performance that reminded everyone why his name still sits at the center of basketball conversations, no matter how many seasons pass.
In this game, LeBron poured in 31 points, and with that effort, a long-standing milestone was officially surpassed. He became the first player in NBA history over the age of 41 to score more than 30 points in a single game. That record had belonged to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar since 1988, when Kareem scored 25 points at the same age. For decades, it stood untouched, almost frozen in time, until LeBron came along and pushed it aside with authority.

What makes this moment even more remarkable is that LeBron already holds the title of the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. Records, in his case, are not being chased for relevance; they are being stacked on top of an already historic career. And the milestones are still coming. He is now just three assists away from moving into second place on the NBA’s all-time assists list, another reminder of how complete his game has been across two decades.
The Grizzlies tried to build momentum with short runs during the game, but every time the Lakers needed an answer, LeBron seemed to provide it. That theme was echoed clearly by Lakers head coach JJ Redick, who could only admire what he witnessed from the sideline. According to Redick, there were key stretches where the team desperately needed a basket, and almost every time, it was LeBron who delivered. Whether it was by attacking the rim, driving hard into the paint, or finishing through contact, those moments were taken over through sheer willpower.
What stood out most was not just the scoring, but the control. The pace of the game appeared to bend around LeBron’s decisions. At 41, the explosiveness may be measured differently, but the command, strength, and basketball IQ were on full display.
Games like this serve as a reminder that LeBron James is not simply hanging on late in his career. History is still being made, records are still falling, and nights like this against the Grizzlies prove that his story is far from finished.
