LeBron James at Year 24, by the Numbers

There isn't much for Philadelphia forward LeBron James to chase this season, at least from a statistical standpoint. He's already the NBA's career scoring leader. The leader in games, minutes, field goals, and field goals attempted, too. And he's entering Year 24 of his career—another record, one he took sole possession of last year because nobody ever topped 22 seasons. "I have a lot of experience in this game, obviously," James says, per the AP. "So, I hope that I can bring that experience, bring that knowledge, bring the blueprint to guys that are trying to accomplish some things that they haven't done in their career." So, what is he chasing? A look at it all, by the numbers:

• 4 championships with four teams: James isn't playing for money (he's a billionaire), legacy (secured long ago), or records (has enough of those). He plays for rings. He'll never catch Bill Russell's 11 titles, would need two more to tie Michael Jordan's six, but James—if he wins one in Philly—would be the first player to be part of championship runs by four franchises. He's already won with Cleveland, Miami, and Los Angeles.

• 11, his new total of coaches: Nick Nurse will be the 11th coach of James' career, excluding any interim coaches and from events like the Olympics and All-Star Games.
• 2-pointers: James took Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's points title a few years ago. He won't be catching Abdul-Jabbar in 2-pointers; the gap there is more than 2,500 baskets. But he could move up to No. 2 this season. James enters the season with 13,325, or 118 behind No. 2 Karl Malone. And with 302 attempts from 2-point range, James would pass Elvin Hayes for third on that list. He likely won't be catching Abdul-Jabbar or Malone in that department.
• 3-pointers: James is sixth on the 3-pointers list for now, and will probably stay there this season. He could actually fall one spot to No. 4 on the 3s attempted list. Portland's Damian Lillard is back this season and trails James by only nine 3s tried for third place.

• No. 1 in free throws? It's possible—possible—that if James plays both of his contracted seasons in Philadelphia, he may catch Malone for the most free throws attempted in NBA regular-season history. Malone has 13,188; James has 12,051. James is No. 2 in free throws made behind Malone and would need to make 905 more to tie for the top spot there. That seems unlikely.
• No. 2 in assists very possible: James enters this season No. 4 on the assist list with 12,016, or just 75 away from No. 3 Jason Kidd. The question becomes whether James can reach the No. 2 spot, currently held by Chris Paul with 12,552. Forget moving to No. 1 here; John Stockton had 15,806 assists.
• Catching Jordan in steals? James enters this season within reach of No. 5 Gary Payton (28 steals away) and No. 4 Michael Jordan (97 steals away) on the NBA's list.
