standings to third place<\/a> during this winning streak, James has averaged 20.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 5.8 assists on 64.6% shooting from the field during the last five games.<\/p>\nAlready playing his record 23rd NBA season, the NBA\u2019s all-time leading scorer has also moved up to first in all-time field goals made, passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar this month.<\/p>\n

Things going on in his brain to do it so well at such a high level, there\u2019s nothing left to prove, but he finds something to continue to motivate him.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful thing, and it\u2019s a beautiful thing to have him as one of the leaders of this team, because if there\u2019s anybody in the world that could take games off, mentally not be there in a film session, practice, whatever it might be, it couldn\u2019t be him, and that\u2019s not how he\u2019s wired.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lakers star LeBron James played in his 1,612th NBA regular-season game against the Orlando Magic on Saturday, surpassing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":230649,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[104664,6265,104666,48,52,51,1415,13505,47,50,49,104663,129,20518,1417,7556,5681,104665,30246,4610,2429],"class_list":["post-230648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-41-year-old-james","tag-assist","tag-famer-robert-parish","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-lakers","tag-lebron-james","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-most-game","tag-nba","tag-orlando-magic","tag-point","tag-rebound","tag-record","tag-season-best-eight-game","tag-streak","tag-thing","tag-thursday"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230648","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230648"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230648\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/230649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
