LeBron James has now surpassed all other NBA players in total games played, while Kevin Durant has climbed above Michael Jordan on the league’s all-time scoring chart.

“Just four more to go,” Durant remarked following his 27-point performance in Houston’s victory over Miami, which elevated him to fifth place in scoring, surpassing Jordan.

At 37, Durant sealed his achievement by hitting back-to-back corner 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, bringing his career total to 32,294 points—two points beyond Jordan’s tally.

“MJ has so many great moments,” Durant expressed. “He epitomizes the iconic, almost god-like status—everything I believe in, he embodies.”

Jordan’s career boasts an NBA-record average of 30.12 points per game, the highest ever, slightly ahead of Wilt Chamberlain’s 30.07. In contrast, Durant has maintained an average of 25.7 points per game throughout his 18-year career.

James, of course, holds the all-time scoring records with 43,229 points ahead of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387), Karl Malone (36,928), Kobe Bryant (33,643) and Kevin Durant

James remains the leader in total points with 43,229, outpacing legends like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387), Karl Malone (36,928), Kobe Bryant (33,643), and now Durant.

The four-time NBA champion also made some history of his own on Saturday.

On a night when his Los Angeles Lakers came back to beat the Orlando Magic, 105-104 on a Luke Kennard 3-pointer with 0.6 seconds remaining, the 41-year-old James also made his record 1,612th regular-season appearance.

And with that, James has surpassed Boston Celtics legend Robert Parish for most games in NBA history.

Already first in points, seasons played, minutes, All-Star selections, field goals, and career earnings, James admittedly wasn’t expecting to pass Parish.

‘It’s not like I’m like writing things down and looking at the record book and saying: “I’m going to get that, I’m going to get that, I’m going to get that.” It just kind of happened,’ James told reporters Saturday. ‘It was not on the list of things that I wanted to accomplish.’

Still, beating Parish’s record is a remarkable achievement.

Known as Chief, in a nod to the character from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Parish famously teamed with Larry Bird and Kevin McHale to form one of the greatest frontcourts in NBA history. The trio would win three NBA titles with the Celtics in the 1980s and Parish would later add another as a backup on the 1997 Chicago Bulls.

Along the way, Parish became known as one of the best conditioned players in basketball. The Louisiana native practiced martial arts and yoga, while relying on a strict diet throughout his playing career.

Despite all that, Parish’s total minutes fall well short of James’ mark, 60,676 to 45,704. What’s more, James has played in 292 playoff games compared to Parish’s 184.

As for Saturday, James finished with a dozen points, six rebounds and three steals, while teammate Luka Doncic had a game-high 33 points in the dramatic victory.
