LeBron James, the perennial All-Star and four-time NBA champion is just 9 games away from securing the top spot in NBA scoring history. He's on the brink of dethroning Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain, two of the most legendary players in the league's history.

Kareem, who currently holds the all-time scoring record with 38,387 points, and Wilt, who's now 7th on the list with 31,419 points, have long been considered untouchable in the scoring department. But LeBron, with his current tally of 38,127 points, is closing in fast.

LeBron's rise to the top has been nothing short of remarkable. He entered the league straight out of high school and quickly established himself as one of the best players in the game. He's won four NBA championships, and four NBA MVP Awards, and has been selected to the All-Star team 17 times.

It's not just his accolades that make LeBron one of the greatest players of all time. It's his impact on the game and the way he's changed the way we think about basketball. He's a true all-around player who can score, rebound, and pass with the best of them. He's also one of the most unselfish players in the league, always looking to set up his teammates for success.

LeBron's scoring record is also a testament to his durability. At 38 years old, he's played in 1,402 games and has missed only a handful of games due to injuries, proving that age is just a number.
