Basketball player LeBron James, the star of the Los Angeles Lakers, this Monday became the second player in the history of the North American League (NBA), who scored 38 thousand points, and even approached the record of the legendary Kareem Abdullah. Jabbar.
James, 38, scored 35 points in the Lakers’ 113–12 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers and scored 38,024 career points, becoming the second-best player in history.
The winger, the holder of four NBA titles, passed Karl Malone, who dropped to third, and was 363 points behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who retired (from 1969 to 1989) with 38,387 points, a record for most points in a Test.
That means LeBron, who is currently averaging 29.2 points per game, could still be the NBA’s leading scorer this season.
The Lakers still have more than 30 games to play before the end of the regular season, which ends in April.
