Last night, LeBron James achieved a monumental feat by becoming only the second player in NBA history to score 38,000 points in his career, putting him in the same elite company as players like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone and Wilt Chamberlain. With a current total of 38024 points and a scoring average of 29.2, he is closing in on the all-time scoring record held by Abdul-Jabbar.

LeBron's scoring ability is not just a result of natural talent, but also of his hard work and dedication to improving his game. He has faced challenges and overcome them, such as when a team targeted a specific weakness in his game, instead of getting discouraged, he worked on that weakness and turned it into a strength.

LeBron's scoring prowess is just one aspect of his game, he is also a pass-first player and always looking for ways to make his teammates better. His work ethic and commitment to improving his game have made him a more dangerous scoring force.

LeBron has the potential to push the record even higher and reach the milestone of 40,000 points one day. He has also mentioned playing long enough to be able to play with his son Bronny. Comparing him to Tom Brady who is 45, he still has plenty of years to break more records. The future looks bright for LeBron and we can't wait to see what he'll accomplish next.

It's worth noting that before Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain held the record for most points in a career with 31,419 points. Chamberlain was known for his dominant scoring and rebounding, and he accomplished many statistical feats during his career, including scoring 100 points in a single game, which is still considered one of the greatest individual performances in the history of the sport.

LeBron's achievement of 38,000 points is a testament to his consistency and longevity throughout his career. He has been able to maintain a high level of play for over a decade and a half, and he continues to be one of the best players in the league. He's not just a scoring machine, but also a great leader and team player. He's in the conversation with the legends like Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone. It's exciting to see how he will continue to add to his legacy in the coming years.
