LeBron James is one of the greatest players in NBA history. The King has reached the finals ten times and has won four championships. Two with the Miami Heat, one with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the most recent one with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Despite being 38 years old, James is playing his 21st season at a high level, averaging 25 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists per game. It’s worth noting that just a few months ago, there was much speculation about his retirement after falling in the Western Conference finals against the Denver Nuggets.

However, in a statistic that is truly surprising, LeBron James may have achieved the record he is least likely to boast about throughout his career. Here are the details.
