The player reached the historic feat on January 24, after scoring 46 points to win against the Los Angeles Clippers.
But it was his scoring outburst that saw him enter the NBA history books to become the first player in the history of the game to record a 40-point outing against all 30 teams.
James now sits only 178 points behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time scoring record. A feat he's expected to surpass in the coming weeks.
At his current scoring average, LeBron is set to pass Abdul-Jabbar on February 4, against New Orleans.
Having played for the Cavaliers, Heat and Lakers across his career, James has scored 40 points against every single team.
