LeBron James becomes NBA's all-time leading point's scorer

IKEJA, Nigeria - Feb. 8, 2023 - PRLog -- In a momentous day for the NBA, LeBron James becomes the all-time leading point scorer.  LeBron Raymone James Sr. is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. LeBron James's net worth according to Forbes 1 billion US Dollars. He was born on 30 December 1984 (age 38 years) in Akron, Ohio, United States.

The Los Angeles Lakers LeBron James becomes the NBA's all-time point record holder after scoring 38 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night; Abdul-Jabbar courtside to see his record surpassed; James needed 36 points to overhaul the record. LeBron James has become the NBA's all-time point record holder, after surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's total of 38,387, twenty seasons on from his debut. The points came on Tuesday night for the LA Lakers against the Oklahoma City Thunder in a 130-133 defeat where he put up 38.

James scored 20 points in the first half with a full showcase of the offensive talent that still shines blindingly after two decades in the NBA, and he tore through the record in a 16-point third quarter capped by a pretty jumper with 10.9 seconds left in the third quarter. He pushed his career total to 38,388 points and broke the record that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar held for nearly four decades. James' family members, including his mother, wife, and three children, took the floor for a ceremony honoring the moment for around 10 minutes.

As he promised, James fought through the pain at Crypto.com Arena to accomplish a historic feat. Surrounded by cameras, James addressed the crowd after surpassing the record emotionally stating: "I thank you guys so much for allowing me to be a part of something I've always dreamed about. I would never in a million years dream this to be even better than what it is tonight."

Almost six years after uttering those words before a Cleveland Cavaliers Eastern Conference Finals clash with the Boston Celtics, James - now clad in the purple and gold of the Los Angeles Lakers - has passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's career total of 38,387 points to become the all-time leading scorer in NBA history. An all-time scoring record claimed by a pass-first player who does not even consider himself a scorer? On a superficial level, that is more than a little ironic. But consider this: it took Abdul-Jabbar 1,560 games over 20 years to set his total of 38,387 career points. It has taken James two decades to pass that mark.
