LeBron James refuses to let history slip away, and Lakers fans are making sure the world knows it. Just when it looked like his legendary double-digit scoring streak might come to an end, James delivered in the clutch—because, of course, he can and fans can’t stop buzzing about it.
Fans Erupt As LeBron James Extends Scoring Streak
The 40-year-old superstar entered the fourth quarter against Indiana Pacers on Wednesday, March 26 with just three points, struggling at 0-for-6 from the field. For a moment, it seemed like his record-breaking run—stretching back to Jan. 5, 2007 was in jeopardy. Then, in classic LeBron fashion, he flipped the script.
As soon as the streak lived on, Lakers faithful flooded social media with celebrations and some not-so-subtle jabs at the doubters.
“Never doubt the King again,” one fan declared, as the energy on X exploded.

Scoring on four straight possessions in a three-minute span, James secured his 10-plus points for the 1,283rd consecutive game. The Lakers ultimately sealed a dramatic victory against the Pacers, with James tipping in a Luka Dončić miss at the buzzer.
Another fan overwhelmed over Lebron’s brilliance took a shot at skeptics, saying, “Only casuals doubted him.”

This wasn’t just any game for James. The four-time MVP recently returned from a strained left groin, missing seven games before suiting up again on March 22 against the Chicago Bulls. This was his third game back and his first win since returning.
After the game, many just breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank God my sunshine’s streak is alive,” one user posted.

Another simply summed up the emotions with: “THEY DOUBTED HIM MAN.”

James’ feat isn’t just about scoring—it’s a testament to his durability. The second-longest streak in history? Michael Jordan at 866 games, a mark James passed years ago. But this one? It’s still going, nearly two decades after it began.
James’ Return Boosts Lakers’ Playoff Push
James finished with 13 rebounds, seven assists, and 13 points on 4-of-12 shooting, proving that even when his shot isn’t falling, he finds a way to impact the game. Dončić had the more productive night however with 34 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists, but when it mattered most, it was James who delivered the final blow.
As for James’ streak? One fan summed it up perfectly: “crazy that people were doubting the King.”

For the Lakers, snapping a three-game skid was crucial. With a 44-28 record, they currently hold the fourth spot in the Western Conference, gearing up for another deep playoff run.
