LeBron James faced off against his old team and proceeded to make history for his new one. King James etched himself in Los Angeles Lakers lore once again with yet another historic feat that not even Kobe Bryant was able to do.

LeBron James led the way for the Lakers in a 131-120 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, finishing with a monster stat line of 38 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists.

King James has been so impressive in his four-year Lakers run despite being in what's supposed to be the twilight of his career that he's made these sorts of stat lines seem relatively ordinary.

But believe it or not, that's just the second time LeBron James has recorded a 35-point triple-double throughout his Lakers stint, making him just the fifth player in franchise history who's accomplished the said feat.
