Lebron James breaks NBA record with first game of season

LeBron James became the first player to take part in 23 consecutive NBA seasons when he stepped onto the court for the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday.

The 40-year-old, who missed his side's opening 14 games of the season because of sciatica, contributed 11 points, 12 assists and three rebounds in 30 minutes of a 140-126 home win over the Utah Jazz.

James - the NBA's record scorer - overtook Vince Carter's mark of having played in 22 successive NBA seasons, while his two three-pointers also moved him above Reggie Miller into sixth place in the NBA's all-time list of most three-pointers made.

"It's been a long time since he played basketball, so I think for the first game back, he looked amazing," said Lakers team-mate Luka Doncic.

but it's going to be tough for him to climb any higher on that list of all-time 3-pointers:

Rank Player 3P
1. Stephen Curry 4116
2. James Harden 3222
3. Ray Allen 2973
4. Damian Lillard 2804
5. Klay Thompson 2729
6. LeBron James 2561
