Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James becomes only the fourth player in NBA history to reach 1,000 career wins.

James is on the verge of 50,000 career points — between the regular season and playoffs — after scoring 17 on Sunday night in the Los Angeles Lakers ' 108-102 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. The Lakers' next game is on Tuesday at home versus the New Orleans Pelicans at 10:30 p.m. ET.

LeBron James is over the negativity. In light of Anthony Edwards saying during All-Star weekend that he doesn't want to be the next face of the league, this reporter asked James on Thursday if that role was something James even wanted – or whether it was just bestowed upon him.
