Just this season, James added several landmark milestones to an already illustrious Hall of Fame resume. In a January road game against the Philadelphia 76ers, he passed Kobe Bryant for third on the all-time scoring list in what turned out to be an emotional achievement for him. He also jumped the ladder in the all-time assists list and moved into eighth place after passing the likes of Isiah Thomas this season.

LeBron added several other grand achievements over the campaign, including notching his 16th career All-Star Game appearance. It placed him at third-most in NBA All-Star Game history. And at this rate, LeBron may very well be on his way to becoming the all-time leader in All-Star appearances.

But LeBron is not done yet. From moving up on the scoring list to adding more accolades to his trophy case, he still has a multitude of career milestones that are within reach.

These five milestones are ones that LeBron James can get to this season while with the Los Angeles Lakers. Some would establish a new NBA record while others would inch him closer to becoming the lone player at the top of the leaderboard.
