At 35 years old, LeBron James isn’t done setting records in the NBA.

Despite the Los Angeles Lakers losing tonight in Game 3 against the Denver Nuggets in their Western Conference Finals matchup, “The King” added another item to his ever-growing list of accomplishments. He put up 30 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists to register his second 30-point triple-double in this year’s NBA Playoffs. With that, he became the first player in Lakers history to record multiple triple-doubles in the same postseason according to ESPN Stats and Info.

LBJ had 36 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists in their series-clinching win over the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round.

The only other Lakers with a 30-point triple-double in the postseason are Hall of Fame members Jerry West in 1969 and James Worthy in 1988 who each pulled off the feat once.

LeBron tallied his 26th career triple-double in the postseason to inch closer to Magic Johnson’s 30 and break yet another league record. He has 120 triple-doubles in total.

Earlier in this year's NBA Playoffs, he set another record after going off for 23 points, 17 rebounds, and 16 assists in their Game 1 loss to the Trail Blazers. He became the first player in postseason history with at least 20 markers, 15 boards, and 15 dimes. Then in the second round against the Houston Rockets, he eclipsed Derek Fisher for most postseason wins ever by a player.

LeBron is averaging 25.9 points, 10 rebounds, 8.8 assists in his 14th stint in the NBA Playoffs.

Time to set the record straight: LeBron James is a good basketball player.
