The Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has once again amazed the basketball world with an impressive triple-double streak. In his latest game against the San Antonio Spurs, James recorded 15 points, 16 rebounds, and 12 assists, leading his team to a commanding victory.
This historic feat places James among a select group of players who have achieved four consecutive triple-doubles. With 117 career triple-doubles, he now holds the fifth-most in NBA history.
Despite his age, LeBron continues to dominate as one of the league’s best players. His ability to impact the game on both ends of the court is remarkable, and his influence on his team remains undeniable.
The Lakers, led by LeBron James, have started the season strong. His presence elevates his teammates’ performance, positioning the team as serious title contenders. “The best thing about my game is I can have [no] rhythm offensively and still have an impact on the game,” James said. “I was able to do that tonight.”
Reflecting on his milestone, LeBron acknowledged the challenges of sustaining such excellence in his 22nd NBA season. “Probably that I did it in Season 22,” he said about achieving his 117th career triple-double. “To still have the energy to do that and the effort—it takes a lot. But it also takes great teammates. Those assists only happen when guys are making shots. I just try to put the ball on time, on target, and then defensively rebound and help on the glass with [Anthony Davis] and the rest of the guys. And sprinkle in a little points from time to time.”

LeBron’s incredible streak of four triple-doubles coincided with four straight wins for the Lakers:
- 21 points, 12 rebounds, 13 assists in a 116–106 win over the Philadelphia 76ers
- 19 points, 12 rebounds, 16 assists in a 123–103 win over the Toronto Raptors
