#LeBronJames #Lakers #InSeasonTournament #ShowTymeonPointSports \nAlready the NBA’s career scoring leader, LeBron James reached uncharted territory Tuesday night by becoming the only player in NBA history to score 39,000 career points.\n\nJames reached the milestone with a 3-pointer in the first quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers’ 131-99 victory over the Utah Jazz. He finished with 17 points in 24 minutes as the Lakers completed an unbeaten run through Group Play in the NBA In-Season Tournament.\n\n“I got congratulated by my teammates and coaches, (but) I haven’t had an opportunity to really wrap my head around what that means,” James said. “There’s been so many great players that came across this league since the beginning of time, and so many great scorers. To be able to accomplish something that’s the first of anything, I think that’s always pretty cool. It’s a wild moment, that’s for sure.”\n\nJames continues to play at an elite level in his 21st season, averaging 26.4 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.5 assists. At his current pace — and assuming good health — James should reach 40,000 points later this season.\n\nIn NBA history, only seven players have scored more than 30,000 points: James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387), Karl Malone (36,928), Kobe Bryant (33,643), Michael Jordan (32,292), Dirk Nowitzki (31,560) and Wilt Chamberlain (31,419). Of those seven, five of them — James, Abdul-Jabbar, Malone, Bryant and Chamberlain — spent all or a portion of their career playing for the Lakers.\n\nThe next active player who could enter the 30,000-point club is Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant. He surpassed Elvin Hayes for No. 11 on the all-time scoring list on Tuesday and has 27,331 points in his career. He needs 2,669 more points to reach 30,000 in his career.\n\nAfter Durant, LA Clippers guards James Harden and Russell Westbrook are the next active players with a shot at 30,000 points. Harden has 24,805 points in his career, while Westbrook has 24,615.\n\nNBA 2023-2024\nLos Angeles Lakers \nGolden State Warriors \nMilwaukee Bucks \nBoston Celtics\nPhiladelphia 76ers \nCleveland Cavaliers \nNew York Knicks \nBrooklyn Nets \nMiami Heat \nAtlanta Hawks \nToronto Raptors \nWashington Wizards \nChicago Bulls \nIndiana Pacers \nOrlando Magic \nCharlotte Hornets \nDetroit Pistons \nDenver Nuggets \nMemphis Grizzlies \nSacramento Kings \nPhoenix Suns \nLos Angeles Clippers \nMinnesota Timberwolves \nNew Orleans Pelicans \nOklahoma City Thunder \nDallas Mavericks \nUtah Jazz \nPortland Trail Blazers \nSan Antonio Spurs \nHouston Rockets\n\n#nba #nbalive #lakers #losangeleslakers #warriors #goldenstatewarriors #bucks #milwaukeebucks #celtics #bostonceltics #76ers #philadelphia76ers #cavaliers #clevelandcavaliers #knicks #newyorkknicks #nets #brooklynnets #heat #miamiheat #hawks #atlantahawks #raptors #torontoraptors #wizards #washingtonwizards #bulls #chicagobulls #pacers #indianapacers #magic #orlandomagic #hornets #charlottehornets #pistons #detroitpistons #nuggets #denvernuggets #grizzlies #memphisgrizzlies #kings #sacramentokings #suns #phoenixsuns #clippers #losangelesclippers #timberwolves #minnesotatimberwolves #pelicans #neworleanspelicans #thunder #oklahomacitythunder #mavericks #dallasmavericks #jazz #utahjazz #blazers #portlandtrailblazers #spurs #sanantoniospurs #rockets #houstonrockets \n\nFAIR-USE COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER : Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, all the videos, songs, images and graphics in the video belong to their respective owners and I or this channel does not claim any right over them.
