Continuous history! James scored the first goal of his comeback and hit two three-pointers, surpassing the famous player and rising to 6th place in history.

On November 19, the NBA regular season Lakers played against the Jazz at home. James, who had been sidelined for the first 14 games due to injury, officially returned. He made history by starting the game and becoming the first player in NBA history for his 23rd year. He played 17 minutes in the first half and scored 7 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists on 2-of-4 shooting. His three-pointers surpassed Reggie Miller and moved to sixth place in history.

The 41-year-old James is about to officially return from injury. Before the game, he appeared handsome wearing sunglasses and carrying a famous bag. After arriving at the arena, he went to the locker room to change into training clothes and put on the latest 23rd generation boots. During the warm-up, he showed off his dribbling, scored multiple three-pointers in a row, and completed the warm-up with a self-throw and dunk.

James joined hands with Doncic, Reeves, Ayton and Rui Hachimura to start the game; James not only ushered in the first show of the season, but also ushered in the first show of the 23rd season of his career, becoming the longest-serving player in history and the first player in history to play in his 23rd season.

James appeared wearing the Lakers No. 23 jersey, throwing magnesium powder and attracting crowds to watch. James organized the offense at the beginning and missed the first three-pointer in his first attempt. In the first quarter, he made 0 of 1 shots, 0 points, 2 assists and 1 rebound in 7 minutes and 24 seconds of the second quarter. At 8 minutes and 20 seconds of the second quarter, James hit a three-pointer and finally scored the first goal of his comeback. It was also the first goal of the season and the first goal of the 23rd year of his career.

After James scored, he assisted Ayton and Smart consecutively. James took a break at 5:13 of the second quarter. At the end of the first half, James returned to the court and hit another three-pointer. The number of three-pointers made surpassed Reggie Miller and rose to sixth place in history. After halftime, the Lakers trailed the Jazz by 4 points 67-71.

Famous reporter Chris Haynes revealed the content of his text message exchanges with James. Haynes reported: "I texted him not long ago, 'Just play your best tonight.' He replied to me three minutes ago, 'I'm ready.'"

Talking about James' expectations for James' defensive performance this season, Lakers coach Redick said: "It is expected to be similar to last season. We will not ask him to chase every night. The opponent's top scorer runs for 40 minutes, which is beyond his current ability. He needs to become the command tower and communication hub of the defensive system and provide the necessary physical confrontation.

James has officially started his 23rd season of his career. Let's wait and see what kind of performance he can perform in the 2025-26 season.
