nba all time scoring

soccer olbg surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's career regular-season points total of 38,387 to become the NBA's all-time leading scorer on Tuesday, breaking a record that was long viewed as untouchable. Today's print edition The four-time MVP hit a fadeaway jumper over Kenrich Williams to hit 38,388 points and dethrone Abdul-Jabbar for the all-time scoring crown. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver congratulated James on "breaking one of the most hallowed records in all of sports" and said it was a "towering achievement." LeBron's most efficient season points-wise was back in the 2005-06 season. Back then, he scored 2478 points in total (averaging 31.4 points per game). Over his career, James scored more than 2000 points in one season ten times. On April 5, 1984, the 7-2 Abdul-Jabbar took an entry pass from Magic Johnson and lofted one of his signature 12-foot skyhooks over 7-4 Utah Jazz center Mark Eaton to move past Chamberlain as the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. “The Captain” has owned the mark ever since.
