Could LeBron James Become All-Time Leading Scorer vs. Blazers?

In the upcoming season, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James will likely break one of the NBA’s improbable feats and become the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.

James is just 1,325 points away from tying Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 38,387, meaning he needs to average just over 16 points per game over the course of the season to hit the mark in 2022-23. But given the fact that James has averaged 27 points per game during his Lakers tenure, he will likely achieve this goal before the end of the season. James only played in 56 games last season and scored 1,625 points, meaning he’ll likely reach this goal around the midway point during the year assuming he stays healthy.
