New decade, new records for LeBron James. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar was recently named Player of the Week for Week 11 of the 2019-20 NBA season, and in doing so, James became just the seventh player in league history to receive the weekly honor in three different decades.

LeBron James joins Hall of Famers Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Karl Malone, and John Stockton on the prestigious list:

LeBron James won this past week's honors with Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. The King led the Purple and Gold to a 3-0 record over the past week. He registered two triple-doubles through that stretch to finish with averages of 23.0 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 12.7 assists:

LeBron James, who turned 35 in December, continues to pile on the accolades to pad his already Hall of Fame-worthy resume. This recent accomplishment just further attests to his longevity and ability to compete at a high level even at this point of his career.

James and the Lakers are enjoying the best record in the Western Conference with a 29-7 mark. While Player of the Week is a great award to get, James has his sights set on a different piece of hardware this season: the Larry O'Brien Trophy.

Winning this year's title, however, will be a way taller task than any of LeBron James' Player of the Week wins. There are a handful of teams from both conferences gunning for this year's crown. The LA Clippers will certainly provide a major challenge come playoff time as long as they're healthy, and there are a handful of other teams in the Western Conference vying for supremacy. In the Eastern Conference, the Milwaukee Bucks lead a strong list of contenders.

But as we have seen in the past, particularly in 2016, there is no task difficult enough for the four-time MVP to overcome.
