Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James continues to absolutely light up the NBA every single night, despite being 37-years-old. On Sunday, he did so again and in the process, The King made history, becoming the first player in the history of the sport to surpass 30,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, and 10,o00 assists.
Following the impressive feat, Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas took to Twitter to recognize the Lakers veteran and essentially hailed him as the GOAT:

It's true. We have never seen a player like LeBron who can do everything in the game at such a high level. While he hasn't won as many titles as Michael Jordan, many believe that James is the best to ever do it. The King finished with 31 points, seven boards, and six dimes against the Suns, but the Lakers were blown out by 29.
He's currently second in the Association in points per game and just dropped 50+ twice in the last week. But, Los Angeles is still struggling because just about no one is stepping up around him. Russell Westbrook has been downright awful, while Anthony Davis remains out.
Nevertheless, we are witnessing sheer greatness. No one has ever performed at this level in their late 30s. LeBron James is just different and his latest milestone proves just that.
