WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) -- Miami Heat star LeBron James was waiting for a milestone in his career.

The four-time NBA MVP had scored at least ten points in last 499 consecutive regular season games, and the number would add up to 500 if he has a double-digit game against the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday.

He would become the fifth player in NBA history to accomplish the record, after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (787 and 508 games), Michael Jordan (866 games), Karl Malone (575 games) and Moses Malone (526 games).
