At age 32, LeBron James is still enjoying firsts in his NBA career. OK, maybe not exactly enjoying, but firsts nonetheless.

James was tossed with 1:59 remaining in the third with the Cavaliers comfortably ahead 93-70. He was ejected for arguing with referee Kane Fitzgerald over a no-call on a drive to the basket.

James had made it to his 1,299th game before being bounced for the first time, and according to ESPN's Stats & Info twitter account, a whole bunch of other players had received at least one ejection during that span – some more than others, tweeting: Entering the night, 326 players have been ejected at least once since LeBron entered the league. Matt Barnes and DeMarcus Cousins have been ejected 13 times each, the most in the NBA in that span.
