LeBron James has become the first player to score 50,000 points in NBA regular season and play-off matches.

James reached the landmark early in the Los Angles Lakers’ 136-115 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday.

The 40-year-old went into the match just one point short of the mark, which he passed with a three-point shot early in the first quarter.
