Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has added another major milestone to his storied career. Following the Lakers’ 112–108 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on December 7, 2025, LeBron recorded his 1,015th regular season win, moving past Robert Parish for second place on the NBA’s all-time wins list.
Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, with 1,074 victories, is now ahead of him.
Milestone highlights LeBron’s longevity
LeBron’s rise up the wins leaderboard highlights his remarkable durability and impact. Even deep into his 20th NBA season, he continues to play meaningful minutes while leading the Lakers on both ends of the court. The win over Philadelphia was another strong performance from him, underscoring how crucial he continues to be to Los Angeles’ success.
His placement among the top winners in the history of the competition puts him in rare company alongside Abdul-Jabbar, Parish, Tim Duncan and other legends who surpassed the 1,000 win mark.

What the record means for his legacy
This achievement strengthens an already historic resume. LeBron’s consistency through the decades, through roster changes, evolving playing styles and changing league dynamics, remains one of the defining characteristics of his career. Reaching second on the wins list is another indicator of how often his teams have thrived with him on the field.
With only Abdul-Jabbar left to chase, each game now adds intrigue as LeBron continues to close the gap.
Impact beyond the numbers
The milestone represents more than longevity. It reflects leadership, preparation and an enduring ability to lift teammates to the next level. Younger players still view LeBron as the benchmark for high-level professionalism, and his presence in the lineup continues to influence winning basketball.
For fans, this latest achievement reaffirms why many consider him one of the greatest players in NBA history. His mix of championship success, record scoring and now all-time winning figures reflects a career defined by excellence.
As the season progresses, the question shifts from whether LeBron can keep adding wins to how close he will get to Abdul-Jabbar’s record. For now, reaching No. 2 ranks as another monumental chapter in a career full of them.
