LeBron James has always been destined to break records. He is a generational talent blessed with an incredible physique and unparalleled basketball IQ.

Not to mention, he is incredibly consistent. James has scored in double figures in 99.3 percent of his 1,200 career games, the highest mark in NBA history:

James is currently fourth on the all-time scoring list, but at just 34 years old he stands a good chance of catching Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who is just under 6,000 points ahead in that category.

LeBron has averaged at least 25 points per game in every season since his rookie year, and he once again figures to anchor a good deal of the scoring load for the Los Angeles Lakers.

James put on a show on Friday night against the Utah Jazz, scoring 32 points while adding 10 assists and seven rebounds. He has been vocal about wanting to run the offense through Anthony Davis, but there is no question that both players will benefit from one another.

The Lakers entered the 2019-20 season with championship expectations, but James' campaign got off to a slightly bumpy start. He faced plenty of backlash after responding to a question about Daryl Morey's now-deleted tweet in support of protestors in Hong Kong, implying that Morey did not understand the ramifications of such a statement.

However, blocking out distractions and focusing on the game is nothing new for LeBron. He has said numerous times that he had to block out the outside noise after his Miami Heat team was defeated in the 2011 NBA Finals, reading books before games to maintain focus and composure.

The Lakers are going to be tough to beat if LeBron is firing on all cylinders.
