LeBron James: the “impossible” record and other milestones of the NBA superstar

LeBron James has made history in the NBA once again by surpassing a record that was once thought impossible to break—the all-time leading scorer in American basketball. This remarkable achievement occurred during a recent game where James, now a star for the Los Angeles Lakers, scored 38 points against the Oklahoma City Thunder, surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's nearly 40-year-old record of 38,387 points set in April 1984, eight months before James was born. Abdul-Jabbar graciously handed James a basketball in a symbolic gesture to acknowledge his new record.

Abdul-Jabbar commended LeBron, recognizing his career as a well-planned journey to dominate the game. He credited James for his exceptional and enduring performance, underscoring his lasting influence on the sport.

LeBron James's achievement is a testament to his extraordinary talent and unwavering dedication, solidifying his legacy in NBA history. Additionally, some of his other significant milestones include winning the Rookie of the Year award, scoring 50 points in a game at a young age, becoming the youngest All-Star MVP, setting a record for consecutive games with 10 or more points, becoming the all-time leading scorer in NBA playoffs, and being the only player in history to exceed 30,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, and 10,000 assists while ranking among the top 10 in multiple statistical categories.
