LeBron James passes Kareem, behind MJ in double-digit scoring streak
CLEVELAND -- LeBron James still has a ways to go to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time NBA scoring mark, but on Tuesday, the King managed to one-up the Captain in one measure of point production.
James scored his 10th point of the night on a fastbreak layup to tie the Cleveland Cavaliers 49-all with the Orlando Magic in the second quarter. It was James' 788th straight game in which he scored in double digits, moving him past Abdul-Jabbar (787) for the second-longest streak of that kind in league history.
Michael Jordan is first with 866.
James came into the night ranked seventh on the all-time scoring list with 28,674 points. Abdul-Jabbar (38,387) is first. Jordan (32,292) is fourth.
