Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s long standing NBA record for most minutes played in regular season history when he clocked his 57,447th minute in his team’s win over Sacramento Kings on Thursday.

AboitizPower Distribution Utilities senior vice president and chief operating officer Anton Perdices, said MobileAP, a mobile application designed to automate electricity bill payment and monitor consumption in real-time, has been gaining momentum across the group’s franchise areas, thanks to the pandemic-driven digital adoption.

In separate advisories, Shell Pilipinas and Seaoil said the per-liter price of diesel would go up by P2.70, The per-liter prices of gasoline and kerosene would also be more expensive by P2.65 and P2.60, respectively.

Abdul-Jabbar, a six-time NBA champion and six-time Most Valuable Player, finished his career in 1989 having played 57,446 minutes.

James, who turns 40 later this month, broke the record 10 minutes into the 113-100 win in Sacramento — the same team against which he made his NBA debut with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003.

“It’s just a commitment to the craft and to the passion and love I have for the game. I don’t take much time in the off-season. A little bit more time now,” said James, who has played over 1,500 games in his career.
