On March 27, 2004, the New Jersey Nets allowed a 19-year-old LeBron James to score a then-career high 41 points on them in the 69th game of his career, when he was a rookie with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Nets were obviously disappointed with the three-point defeat and the performance that led to it, but they can now take some measure of solace in the fact that James, 19 years later, has now done that against every single team in the NBA.

On Tuesday, James dropped 46 points on the Los Angeles Clippers, who were the final team on his 40-point bucket list. In the 1,404th game of his career, he has now scored at least 40 against all 30 NBA teams.

Surprisingly, MJ never had a 40 point game vs some expansion teams that entered the league in 1995. Career high 38 points vs Raptors. 33 points vs Grizzlies.

Wilt's career high vs the Cavs only 24 points. Cavs joined the NBA in 1970. Career high 36 points vs Rockets, they joined in 1967.

For those wondering, Kareem never dropped 40 on the Heat & the Hornets, both teams entered the league in Kareem's final season. Kareem also never dropped 40 on the Spurs

Sorry, this disqualifies Kobe.

Bron was brave enough to spread the wealth and give other teams titles.

This is impressive and deserves respect
just don't say stupid crap like,
MJ could never :lolMJ spent all of his Go9d years on one team in one conference and almost definitely didn't keep track of wh8ch few teams never got 40. It's the kind of record that no one cares about until their told about it. Now that it is brought up it adds some perspective to the greatness of James but itdoesn't prove anything vs. Jordan. James being better late in their careers has already been shown. Peak vs. Peak Jordan still has the edge.

Jordan only failed to crack 40 against Grizzlies and Toronto. Those being new teams at the time, Jordan only got 3 seasons in his prime to play them so didn't have much opportunity to do it. He also failed to crack 40 agains tthe Bulls but he was already a shadow of his former self with the wizard

You are wrong. You just used the words "unable." Jordan could have left the Bulls as a free agent and moved from team to team until he had accomplished this milestone. If I apply your stupid trolling standard in the opposite direction I can say that James couldn't win multiple chamois with the team that drafted him. Is that a valid criticism?

MJ couldn't drop 40 against the Raptors or Grizzlies either so your "MJ didn't team hop" argument isn't valid here

And he had the opportunity to do it as a Wizard but failed

Exactly why would Jordan be unable to score 40 in the Raptors, because they had Damon Stoudemire? That's a stupid thing to say. They didn't exist for most of his career and he had no idea some idiot would be using this stupid argument against him while he was playing because he was too busy winning 6 rings.

Didn't have the longevity to score 40 on 30 teams

LeBron is still top 10 in the league at 38

MJ was a bum at 38

Actually, that is a valid criticism.

Lebron played 11 years with the Cavs and only won 1 championship. Compared to, say, Jordan, who won 6 championships in 13 years with the team that drafted him, it shows that there's levels to this.

Ignore context of Cleveland failing to surround LeBron with a championship supporting cast his 7 years in Cleveland

Whilst MJ had Pippen and Grant by his side in his 4th year and never had to face juggernauts like the Spurs or Warriors in the finals
