LeBron James, the iconic Lakers player, is no stranger to records, but not all of them are positive. Last Friday, despite his team’s victory over the Phoenix Suns, ‘The King’ established a historic negative mark by becoming the first player to exceed 5,000 turnovers in his entire career.
With the four losses suffered against the Arizona team, James’ statistic increased to a total of 5,003 losses. Although he already topped this historical ranking before, surpassing figures like Karl Malone (4,524) and Russell Westbrook (4,469), he has now become the first player to surpass the barrier of 5,000 turnovers.
On this list, Kobe Bryant occupies sixth place with 4,010 losses, while James Harden closes the top-10 with 3,743.

Although this record is negative, it is also a testament to the longevity of LeBron James, the leading scorer of all time. About to turn 39 years old and the oldest player in the NBA, James shows no signs of decline. His average of 7.3 assists per game and 3.5 turnovers per game demonstrate his ability to contribute to team play. For every turnover, James delivers two assists, highlighting his focus on being a pass first player despite his outstanding scoring ability.
