Making his debut in a record-setting 23rd season in the NBA Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena against the Utah Jazz , the four-time NBA Most Valuable Player has come away with another notable accomplishment in his legendary career in the pros, as he just passed another NBA legend on the all-time list for 3-pointers made.
"With his second 3-pointer of the night, LeBron James moved past Reggie Miller for No. 6 on the NBA's all-time 3-pointers list," Dave McMenamin of ESPN shared via social media post on X, formerly Twitter.
James entered the Jazz game needing just a made bucket from deep to tie Miller at the No. 6 spot on the list. The former Indiana Pacers sniper knocked down a total of 2,560 treys, while James started the day with 2,559. James tied Miller with a triple from the left side in the second quarter, which was also his first bucket of the season.
Then, with just under a minute left in the second period, James pulled up from behind the arc and drained the 3-pointer that broke his tie with Miller.
There are now only five people in the world with more 3-pointers made in the NBA than James, who will be turning 41 years old in December.

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is the all-time leader with 4,116 rainbow connections, at the time of this writing.
