List of career achievements by LeBron James

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The American professional basketball player LeBron James began his career in the National Basketball Association (NBA) when he was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft. He was subsequently named the Rookie of the Year with the Cavaliers in the 2003–04 NBA season. In 2005, James made his first appearances in the NBA All-Star Game and the NBA playoffs, and led the Cavaliers to their first NBA Finals appearance in 2007. He was also the top scorer for the 2007–08 NBA season and was named the NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 2009 and 2010.

In a January 16, 2013 game against the Golden State Warriors, James became the youngest player in NBA history to score 20,000 career points.

In 2010, James announced on television that he would join the Miami Heat. With the Heat, he formed a trio with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. They led the team to four consecutive Finals appearances from 2011 to 2014, winning back-to-back championships in 2012 and 2013, with James being named the league MVP and the NBA Finals MVP both times. He returned to the Cavaliers in 2014, and led the team to four straight Finals appearances from 2015 to 2018, giving James eight straight Finals appearances. The Cavaliers defeated the Golden State Warriors for their first championship in 2016, and James was voted the Finals MVP for the third time in his career. He signed with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018, and led the Lakers to an NBA championship in 2020. James was named the Finals MVP for the fourth time in his career, becoming the only player to do so with three different teams.

James holds NBA records with the most NBA All-Star and All-NBA Team selections, with 22 and 21 respectively, including a record 13 First Team selections, and for the most minutes played in league history. He has also been selected into the NBA All-Defensive Team six times. He is currently the NBA's all-time scoring leader, having surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 2023. He also ranks fourth in career assists and sixth in career steals. In 2025, while still being active in the NBA, James was inducted to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a member of the 2008 U.S. Olympic team.

Footnotes

  1. [a]
    Under current NBA draft rules, draftees must also be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft. This will usually happen after a player is one season removed from high school, but not always—under current rules, Brad Daugherty (selected #1 overall in 1986 after a four-year college career at North Carolina) would not have been eligible for the draft until two years after his high school graduation, because he graduated while still 16.
  2. [b]
    Awards, festivals, honors and other miscellaneous organizations are listed in alphabetical order.
  3. [c]
    Year in which award ceremony was held.
