Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has officially broken the all-time scoring record in the NBA as he passed former record holder Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who held the all-time scoring record for the last 38 years.
With LeBron, needing 36 points to break Kareem’s record he did it late in the game on Tuesday as he hit a one legged fadeaway jump shot in the third quarter to break the record, with the record being 38,388 this has been a long time coming and over the last two years people have recognized that LeBron had a chance to break the record, and he did on Tuesday night, with the Lakers playing the Oklahoma City thunder, this game was absolutely packed as tickets were astronomically, expensive, even more than last year’s NBA finals.
LeBron James was drafted in the 2003 NBA draft with the number one overall pick by the Cleveland Cavaliers as he was considered the chosen one and drafted straight out of high school which less than a handful of players can say that they have. LeBron has been one of the most consistent players over his 20 year career and has missed minimal games open till his late 30s with the Lakers, even at age 38 LeBron is considered a top player in the league and a great leader.
