Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James is still accomplishing career firsts at age 39.

In the Lakers' first NBA Cup game of the 2024 season, James tallied a triple-double against the San Antonio Spurs. It was his fourth straight game doing so—the first time he's done that in his illustrious 22-year career.

James finished the night with 15 points on 6-of-12 shooting to go along with 16 rebounds and 12 assists in the Lakers' 120–115 win.

In his 22nd NBA season, @KingJames has four consecutive triple-doubles for the first time in his career.

James now has notched triple-doubles against the Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors, Memphis Grizzlies and Spurs. Not coincidentally, Los Angeles has won its past four contests.

Friday's stat line was the 39-year-old's 117th regular-season triple-double of his career. He trails only guard Russell Westbrook (199), guard Oscar Robertson (181), guard Magic Johnson (138), and center Nikola Jokic (136) on the NBA's all-time list.

James can now add "four-straight triple-doubles" to a career accolades list that includes four NBA titles, 20 NBA All-Star Game appearances, three MVP awards, and 13 All-NBA First-Team nods.

Oh, yeah—and playing on the same NBA court as his son.
