LeBron James continues to make history, and now collectors have the chance to own a piece of it. In the Los Angeles Lakers’ 136-115 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, James became the first player in NBA history to reach 50,000 combined career points in the regular season and playoffs. To commemorate this unprecedented milestone, Topps has secured James’ game-worn shooting sleeve, turning it into a one-of-a-kind collectible available to chase now.
James reached the historic 50,000-point milestone early in the first quarter, draining a three-pointer that will forever be etched in NBA history. He went on to finish with 34 points, bringing his regular season total to 41,871—the most in NBA history.
The achievement cements James’ legacy as one of the greatest scorers of all time, further adding to his resume of four NBA championships, four MVPs, and 20 All-Star selections. His ability to sustain elite-level play into his 21st season continues to amaze fans, collectors, and analysts alike.
For much of his career, LeBron James was an Upper Deck exclusive athlete, meaning his memorabilia and autographed cards were only available through UD. However, in January 2024, Fanatics/Topps signed James to a multi-year exclusive deal, allowing them to produce new autographed and game-used memorabilia cards. His first autographed card under this new deal was a 1/1 dual auto featuring his son, Bronny James.
Now, Topps is elevating their LeBron collection even further—by incorporating his game-worn shooting sleeve from the historic 50K-point game into a Topps Now release.
As part of this special Topps Now drop, collectors will have the chance to pull the ultimate one-of-one:
