LeBron James joins a legendary group with his recent performance

LeBron James put up a memorable performance for the Lakers on Sunday night. In the process, he joined three record-breaking clubs.

According to reports, James became the second LA Lakers player to make nine 3-pointers in multiple games. He joins the late Kobe Bryant, who did it four times.

In addition, James is now the player with the most 30-point games, passing Michael Jordan. Jordan had 671 games of 30 or more points. Now, it's the Akron, Ohio, native who holds the top spot at 672.

His age also helped in setting a record. James is the oldest player to have a 40-point game with a 100+ TS%. The others to do it were Paul Pierce, who was 35 years old at the time, and Jeff Hornacek, who was 31 years old.
