The King tied Robert Parish for the most games played in NBA history, and when he suits up next (likely tomorrow against the Magic), he will jump into sole possession of what could be another one of his seemingly untouchable records. Sam Quinn ranked the 10 most unbreakable records of James' legendary career. He had a ton of them to choose from, so these truly are the most elite of the elite. Here are the top five: Most All-NBA selections (21) Most consecutive 10-point regular-season games (1,297) Most playoff points (8,289) Most field goals (15,889) Most minutes (60,672) Because James embarked on his pro career straight out of high school, he has a slight leg up on those who have to abide by the one-year-of-college rule. That ought not to undermine his accolades, though. James' longevity and consistently remarkable play is simply unmatched in NBA history. πŸ”’ WNBA free agency rankings Getty Images Now that the WNBA and its players' union have finally come to terms on a new collective bargaining agreement, the offseason can deliver its regularly scheduled programming. Up first is the free agency period, which will operate on a condensed timeline from April 7-18. Countless stars will hit free agency, and that is by design, as they structured their contracts specifically to expire in advance of their anticipated pay raises. There is no bigger name on the free agency market than A'ja Wilson. Expect the four-time MVP to re-sign with the Aces, Jack Maloney says. Maloney: "It would be a major surprise if she leaves the Aces, who are the only franchise she has ever known. This time a year ago, Wilson said she wanted to retire in Las Vegas: 'I don't see myself putting on another jersey.'" Maloney unveiled a massive list of the top free agents, ranking the 30 best players available. Here are the top five: A'ja Wilson (Previous team: Aces) Napheesa Collier (Lynx) Breanna Stewart (Liberty) Alyssa Thomas (Mercury) Jackie Young (Aces) πŸ‘πŸ‘Ž The best (and not-so-best) of the rest Getty Images πŸ“Ί What we're watching this weekend Friday πŸ€ March Madness continues all day today.
