LeBron James has become the leading scorer in NBA history.

The 38-year-old sportsman and Los Angeles Lakers star recorded his 38,388th point in the league on Tuesday (07.02.23) to officially nudge him past former record holder Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

The historic point came during the third quarter of the Lakers’ game at the team’s home Crypto.com Arena against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver said: “LeBron you are the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. Congratulations.”

Meanwhile, Abdul-Jabbar was present to pass the torch – or rather the basketball – on to James, after the 75-year-old star had held the record for just under four decades.

Meanwhile, Abdul-Jabber had previously admitted he was “excited to see” his record being broken.

The latest record for James comes after he became the first player in NBA history to reach 10,000 points in rebounds and assists.
