Los Angeles Lakers have seen countless legends grace the purple and gold, only two players in franchise history have recorded at least 200 points, 50 rebounds, and 50 assists in their first 10 games: LeBron James and Luka Dončić.

 

LeBron James, often referred to as “The King,” accomplished this feat when he joined the Lakers in the 2018–19 season. Even in his mid-30s, LeBron wasted no time making an impact, showing his all-around brilliance right from the start. His unique ability to score, rebound, and facilitate set the tone for what would become a new chapter in Lakers history, culminating in a championship in 2020. His combination of physicality, vision, and leadership elevated both his teammates and the franchise.

 

The surprising name on this list is Luka Dončić. Although Dončić has never played for the Lakers, he achieved the milestone against the Lakers while being compared to legends of the franchise. The mention of Dončić in this context may stem from a social media error or a statistical comparison that crossed team boundaries. Regardless, Luka has consistently put up numbers that rival the greats of the game, drawing comparisons to Magic Johnson and LeBron alike.

 

In reality, if only Lakers franchise players are considered, LeBron stands alone in this specific 200/50/50 club through 10 games. The stat not only underscores his greatness but also his immediate impact on a historic franchise. It speaks to his ability to control the game in every facet—something only a few in NBA history can replicate.

 

As LeBron continues to rewrite records and extend his legacy, this milestone serves as just another reminder of his extraordinary presence and unmatched longevity in the game.
