SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- LeBron James is set to become the NBA's all-time leader in regular season minutes played Thursday back in the same city where he logged his first, when the Los Angeles Lakers play the Sacramento Kings.

It will be another accomplishment in a career teeming with them for the four-time MVP, four-time champion and 20-time All-Star who also happens to be the league's all-time leading scorer.

But the 39-year-old James was not in a celebratory mood after Lakers shootaround Thursday morning. Rather, when asked about the announced changes for the All-Star game format in February, James lamented the state of the league.
