From 2003 to 2018, LeBron played over 70 regular season games every season except twice (62 in 2011-2012 and 69 in 2014-2015) and that isn't even counting the 12-24 playoff games he played in each of those years. Hate him all you want for whatever petty reasons you want, but he's easily one of the most durable players in the history of basketball. He's picked up more injuries in recent years (not surprising considering he's in his mid to late 30s), but the games played record will be one of the next to fall for him.
