1,000th Game

Although LeBron has never played a full season, he has played the majority of games each year. He has played a total of 987 games and over 13 years, that gives him a career average of 75.9 games. And with just 13 more games, LeBron can hit the milestone for his 1,000th games. Given his average games played per year, he can get there.

In addition, LeBron currently ranks No. 4 on the franchise list for games played with 693 games. If he can play his career average of games, he’ll wind up at No. 2 with 768. If he plays more than his career average (although not likely given Ty Lue‘s plan to rest the King), he can even pass Zydrunas Ilgauskas (772) for the most games played for the Wine & Gold.
