James became the first player to achieve the remarkable milestone of scoring 40,000 total points, leaving Reaves and others in awe of his unparalleled greatness.
"It's just greatness, right in front of all our eyes,"
Having joined the Lakers ahead of the 2021-22 season after his senior year at Oklahoma, the 25-year-old Austin Reaves has shared the court with LeBron James.
