Los Angeles Lakers’ star LeBron James has made history, breaking the all-time NBA scoring record held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. On Tuesday night, James scored his 36,937th point, surpassing Abdul-Jabbar’s record of 36,936 points and cementing his place as one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
The milestone was especially meaningful for James, who grew up idolizing Abdul-Jabbar and often wears his signature goggles during games. When asked about the record, James said, “It’s just a lot of emotions. For a kid from Akron, Ohio, that needed inspiration and needed some type of positive influence, [Abdul-Jabbar] was that guy for me.”
James’ record-breaking night was a reminder of how much fun it is to watch him play and why the Lakers should trade to acquire more talent to help him win a championship.
James’ scoring prowess is undeniable. He is now the only player in NBA history to have scored over 35,000 points, and his career average of 27.1 points per game is the highest of any active player. He has also been the top scorer in the league for the past nine years.
James’ record-breaking performance has also reignited the debate about who the greatest scorer in NBA history is. While Abdul-Jabbar held the all-time scoring record for more than two decades, some argue that James is the best scorer ever due to his longevity and ability to score in a variety of ways.
No matter how you look at it, LeBron James has cemented his place in NBA history. He has shown that he can be counted on to deliver when it matters most and will be remembered as one of the greatest scorers of all time.
