The way the NBA has evolved over the years means you almost always see players make history or move up a ranking. This 2024-25 season is full of potential history, led by Golden State Warriors point guard Steph Curry, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James and Denver Nuggets point guard Russell Westbrook.
This season, Warriors point guard Steph Curry will aim for 4,000 career three-pointers. Curry will enter the season with 3,747 total three-pointers, meaning he will need 253 three-pointers to reach 4,000 in his career during the regular season.
Lakers point guard LeBron James, who has 40,474 regular-season points and 8,162 playoff points, is 1,364 points shy of reaching 50,000 career points.
Russell Westbrook, the Nuggets’ leader in career triple-doubles with 199, will attempt to achieve his 200th triple-double. He will be the only player in NBA history to accomplish that feat.
Key milestones to watch for the upcoming NBA season:

These three NBA legends have had incredible careers and will each have the chance to make history with their performances.
Curry will be returning to a Warriors team that really needs him to become a superstar. James and the Lakers haven’t made many trades this offseason, so he’ll have to be excellent as well. Westbrook joins Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets, where he’ll have to be a solid guard off the bench.
