Follow usLA Lakers superstar LeBron James made his campaign debut vs. the Utah Jazz today, starting his NBA-record 23rd year.
The legend finished with 11 points, 4-of-7 shooting, to go along with 12 assists in his team’s 140-125 victory. LeBron spent 30 minutes on the court and scored twice from the 3-point line on 3 attempts.

He returned to training with the Lakers at the beginning of the week, joining his Los Angeles teammates for his first 5-on-5 action with them since his organization’s 1st-round postseason elimination vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves in the spring.
LeBron, already the league’s all-time scorer, entered the game 50 matches behind Boston Celtics legend Robert Parish for the all-time lead in matches played, and now is 496 assists behind Jason Kidd for the 3rd spot in the all-time list.
