LeBron James is the first-ever player to collect a triple-double against all 30 NBA teams, reports the Los Angeles Times. 

In Tuesday night's Lakers win against Oklahoma City Thunder, James scored a history-making 25 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. 

Apparently, the small forward wasn’t even attempting to break any records — he’s just that good. 

“I had no idea," James said. "Coach Vogel came in here and said congratulations. I was like, I thought he was joking about my seven turnovers because I've been taking care of the ball so much. He said first player in NBA history to have a triple-double versus 30 teams, every team, so I was like, 'OK. That's pretty cool.'”

The 34-year-old I Promise School founder was humble about his new achievement, crediting his coaches and teammates. 

“I’ve had some great teammates and great coaches to put me in a position to be able to facilitate. My teammates have made shots for me throughout my career. Coaches have put me in position to be successful scoring the ball,” he said.

His triple-doubles have been more consistent this season, having five in the past 14 games, reports ESPN.

James' teammate, guard Danny Green, praised him for constantly uplifting the other players on his team. 

"He does it so easily and quietly. Well, not quietly but just easily. And he also does it by making other guys better and finding other guys,” Green said. 

Lakers coach Frank Vogel called the accomplishment “unbelievable."


"He'll say it's because he's been in the league for so long, but we all know that it's because he's remarkable,” Vogel said. “For him to be doing it for as long as he's been doing it, that's how you knock out all 30 teams with a stat like that. I don't know if that will ever get accomplished again."

Well, it might. 

Houston Rockets point guard Russell Westbrook is closely trailing James with triple-doubles against 29 teams. Former point guard and current assistant coach for the Lakers, Jason Kidd is third with 28.
