LeBron James Passes Lakers Legend Wilt Chamberlain As Oldest Player To Average Triple-Double In Calendar Month

The month of February has been an up-and-down one for Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James. His team struggled, leading to a number of deals being made at the trade deadline. Through it all, James continued his high level of play.

In his 15th season, LeBron has remained arguably the NBA’s best player and continues to make history along the way. Earlier this year he became the youngest player to reach the 30,000-point mark, and now he has set another record and passed a Los Angeles Lakers legend to do so.

With his 31 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists on Tuesday, James cemented himself as the oldest player in NBA history to average a triple-double for a calendar month, passing Wilt Chamberlain, via ESPN:
