Against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday, LeBron James suited up for his 772nd career regular-season game as a Cleveland Cavalier, surpassing former longtime teammate Zydrunas Ilgauskas to become the all-time franchise leader.
| Player | GP w/ Cavs |
|---|---|
| LeBron James | 772 |
| Zydrunas Ilgauskas | 771 |
| Danny Ferry | 723 |
| Bingo Smith | 720 |
| Hot Rod Williams | 661 |
James is already the Cavs' record holder in virtually every meaningful statistical category, including points, assists, and steals (Ilgauskas still has him beat by about 400 rebounds).
In his 15th NBA season and his 11th with Cleveland, James has shown no signs of slowing down, coming into Wednesday's game averaging 27.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, and eight assists with a .614/.444/.882 shooting line.
But whether he continues to add to his franchise-leading totals beyond this season, remains an open question.
