LeBron goes all way in NBA regular season

LeBron James has played in all 82 NBA regular season games for the first time in his 15-season career.

No. 23 has played in all 82.

When LeBron James took the floor for Cleveland against New York on Wednesday night, it represented a first for the four-time MVP - this is the first of his 15 seasons in which he's played in every regular-season game.

James has ordinarily sat out games at the end of the season when the Cavs have a seed locked up.

That didn't happen before the finale this year, so James played all the way to the finish.

James' previous high for appearances was 81, back in the 2008-09 season.

He says he's tried this season to "change the narrative" about what a player in his 15th season is capable of doing.

James entered the finale averaging 27.7 points, 9.2 assists and 8.7 rebounds.
