Although it seems like James Harden is the obvious choice to win this season’s MVP award, LeBron James has put forth one of the best campaigns of his 15-year career.Averaging 26.6 points, 8.3 rebounds and 8.9 assists per contest for the Cleveland Cavaliers, he has not only provided incredible leadership in terms of filling up the stat sheet on a nightly basis, but he has also been able to handle losing half of his team at the trade deadline with relative ease.On Tuesday, he led the Cavs to a 129-123 victory over the Brooklyn Nets and did so in dominant fashion, amassing 31 points on 13-of-25 shooting to go along with 12 rebounds and 11 assists in 39 minutes.In the process, he set a couple of NBA records.After he passed 23 points, seven rebounds and eight assists in the game, he ensured that he would average a triple-double for the month of February. In doing so, he became the oldest player in league history to ever accomplish the feat. Wilt Chamberlain held the previous record at 31 years old in March 1968, per ESPN.

He also became the first player in NBA history to surpass 30,000 points, 8,000 rebounds and 8,000 assists. That might be the most impressive of his cumulative records, as it shows off the overall impact that he has been able to make across the three major counting stats.

Before Tuesday’s game, LeBron spoke to reporters about breaking the aforementioned records.

"My teammates are making shots ... and I couldn't do that without them," James said, per ESPN’s Dave McMenamin. "I just try to put the ball on time and on target if it's a cross-court pass to a shooter or an outlet pass to a streaking runner or a lob to one of my bigs. They actually have to make the shot for it to become an assist.”

He explained that rebounding has always been natural for him.

"Rebounding for me has always been instinctual. I'm not a big boxout guy, I've always kind of used my instincts and seeing the ball if it's coming off the rim, how it's coming off the backboard or off the guy's hands and just try to use my athleticism to get the rebounds,” he explained.

James reiterated the fact that he doesn’t consider himself a pure scorer.

"The scoring part is something I've kind of ... if I can get two layups a quarter or three layups a quarter then I'm going to get over 10 points a game. Scoring has always been last for me; I've never looked at myself as a scorer. But to know the history of the game and seeing the guys that put up triple-doubles on a regular (basis) -- from Jason Kidd to Magic Johnson to Oscar Robertson to Russell Westbrook, you can throw my name in there as well,” he noted.

Overall, he made it clear that he is proud of himself.

"To do it on a regular (basis), it's a very difficult task because you have so much responsibility offensively, defensively, defensive rebound, to assist, get guys involved to be able to put numbers on the board as well," James exclaimed. "It's very difficult, very challenging and it takes a lot of energy. It takes a lot of energy. But if you're built for it, you're built for it.”

If he continues to play at the current level for the next handful of seasons, there might not be very many more records for him to break before he retires.
