LeBron James Makes History Against OKC

by Z Roney

On November 19th, 2019, the Los Angeles Lakers played the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Staples Center, beating them 107-112. Over the course of the game, LeBron James recorded a triple-double with 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists, which on any other night, against any other team, would've simply been a great performance. But this time was different. This particular triple-double placed LeBron James in the record books in yet another category, making himself the pioneer for another accolade. He became the first player in NBA history to record a triple-double against all 30 franchises in the league, including those he played for (Cleveland and Miami), and the one he currently plays for now (Los Angeles). This type of achievement requires consistent, high-level playing and deliberate off-season movement – a job well done by LeBron James. However, don't expect him to be alone in this category much longer. Russell Westbrook is right on his tail, having recorded a triple-double against 29 of the 30 NBA teams – every team except, ironically, the Oklahoma City Thunder.
