5 career milestones LeBron James can still reach this season
By Steve Zavala
Lone all-time leader in All-NBA selections
This career milestone is already locked in no matter what LeBron James does over the remainder of the regular season. He could sit out the few games that are left in the season and he would still add this feat to his list of historic career achievements.
Over his 17-year career in the NBA, LeBron has accounted for an astounding 15 All-NBA selections — and he has more to add to this total. The future Hall of Famer already holds the top spot for All-NBA First Team selections with 12, which is one more than both Kobe Bryant and Karl Malone. But one more All-NBA selection — regardless of which exact team — will give him the lone lead for the most in NBA history. He is currently in a tie with three other players for 15 career All-NBA selections, including Kobe.
At the moment, LeBron is a clear favorite to make the first team once again thanks to his 25.7 points per game and 10.6 assists per game average for the Western Conference-leading Lakers. If he goes on to earn a first-team All-NBA selection for the season, it would be quite the accomplishment to achieve this feat with three different teams over his career.
