James is 35 points away from Abdul-Jabbar’s record total of 38,387 and is on pace to surpas the 40,000-point mark next season
It’s about to happen. LeBron James is finally on the brink of passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the NBA’s career scoring record, the torch getting passed from one member of the Los Angeles Lakers to another.
The closest player currently in the NBA to James on the all-time list is Brooklyn’s Kevin Durant, who has 26,684 points. Durant would probably have to play at least another six or seven seasons just to catch Abdul-Jabbar’s mark – and who knows how far James will raise the bar by then. James entered the NBA straight out of high school; Abdul-Jabbar had a college career before he was eligible to join the league. James was 18 when he scored his first NBA points; Abdul-Jabbar was 22.James has been durable, especially over the first three-quarters of his career. He missed only 71 games in his first 15 seasons. Since joining the Lakers 4-1/2 seasons ago, he has missed nearly 100 games.
And that’s the figure James – again, when adding in his playoff points – eclipsed on Feb. 12, 2022, in a Lakers loss against the Golden State Warriors. So while that is “a” record, it’s not “the” record.For those unfamiliar with the acronym, ‘GOAT’ is shorthand for Greatest Of All Time.
