Lakers superstar Lebron James is looking at passing legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in first place on the league’s all-time scoring list.
Lebron, who is in his 20th season now, is only 1325 points away from passing the legend and is now more focused on redemption for the Lakers and securing a solid legacy.
Even though he averaged a solid 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists in 56 games last season, but the Lakers missed the playoffs and were marred with a lot of controversies following their public meltdowns even in simple games they were projected they’ll win.
“I’m kind of in awe of it, like, ‘Wow,’” James said at media day.
“To sit here and to know that I’m on the verge of breaking probably the most sought-after record in the NBA — it’s super humbling.”
James is averaging 27.1 points in his career and at that pace, he’s expected to pass Kareem after his 47th game.
