LeBron James has stood second to just Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the NBA’s all-time scoring list since passing Karl Malone in March.
As he approaches Abdul-Jabbar’s record, he joined him with another scoring milestone on Sunday. With a jump shot from the top of the key against the Philadelphia 76ers, James scored his 38,000th and 38,001st career points. James and Jabbar are the only players to ascend the 38,000-point plateau.
