Saturday night, LeBron James is poised to set another record: Most regular-season games played
LeBron is tied with Celtics legend Robert Parish, who said "No player is better deserving" to break his record.
LeBron James is already seemingly everywhere atop the NBA record books: Most points (43,180), most seasons (23), most shots made (15,863) and most minutes played (60,604), just to name a few. Saturday night in Orlando, LeBron is set to add to that. In that game, LeBron will break his tie with Hall of Famer and Celtics legend Robert Parish for most regular season games played in NBA history.
That game is set to be LeBron's 1,612th regular-season game (he is not listed on the injury report). Parish is good with it.
