LeBron James has reached another major milestone in his legendary NBA career by claiming second place on the all-time wins list. On December 7, 2025, with the Los Angeles Lakers narrowly defeating the Philadelphia 76ers 112-108, LeBron notched his 1,015th regular-season victory. This win moved him ahead of Celtics legend Robert Parish, who held the second spot with 1,014 wins, leaving only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the all-time leader with 1,074 wins, ahead of him.
LeBron James Continues To Defy Age

At nearly 41 years old, LeBron James continues to defy age and expectations. After a rare off-night in Toronto just a few days earlier, where he scored under double digits for the first time in nearly two decades, he came back strong in Philadelphia. James poured in a season-high 29 points, shooting an efficient 12 of 17 from the field.
He also contributed seven rebounds, six assists, and a critical late-game steal that helped seal the victory for the Lakers. His ability to bounce back so quickly after a rough outing showcases the resilience and skill that have defined his career.
This milestone is another testament to LeBron James’ durability and sustained excellence over more than two decades in the league. To put it in perspective, surpassing Parish means he now has the second-most wins, not just because of sheer playing time but because he has been a major contributor on winning teams consistently. With his current pace, he would need to compete in roughly 91 more games to catch Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record, which many believe is possible if he continues playing at this high level for another season or two.

With constant determination, intelligence on the court, and physical skill, LeBron James is proving time and again why he’s still a force to be reckoned with in his 20th NBA season.
