LeBron James has become the second NBA player in history to pass 38,000 career points, moving closer to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time record.
James passed the milestone with a mid-range jumper in the first quarter and went on to score 35 points in Sunday’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Philadelphia 76ers. The 38-year-old needed only 11 points to reach the 38,000-point mark and is now 363 points away from tying Abdul-Jabbar’s record. However, the personal accolade did little to lift James’ mood as the Lakers lost a tight contest 113-112.
Joel Embiid top-scored for the 76ers – ending the night with 35 points and 11 rebounds – while James Harden had 24 points and 13 assists. The Lakers felt aggrieved not to have been awarded a foul late on, with Russell Westbrook claiming Embiid had held his arm as he tried to shoot. “[I was] trying to attack, trying to get to the basket. It’s unfortunate but he was grabbing my wrist.” Westbook told reporters. “I couldn’t get the ball up. It’s all good, we’ll look at it tomorrow or tonight.
