LeBron James passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar last season to become the NBA's all-time scoring leader, a record that stood for almost 40 years. Now he's added to that record in epic fashion.
James dropped the 40,000th point of his career on Saturday night against the Denver Nuggets. He's the only player in NBA history with 40,000 points in the regular season. By comparison, Kevin Durant -- the next-highest active player -- only has 28,342 points, nearly 12,000 behind James' mark. Durant is also only four years younger than James, giving him a nearly-impossible mountain to climb to make up that deficit.
