LeBron James passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for most combined regular season and playoffs points

No one in the NBA has scored more points that counted than LeBron James.

The Los Angeles Lakers star remains a little under 2,000 points behind Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the NBA's all-time scoring title, but if you factor in points scored in the playoffs — which do not factor into the official list — James just passed Abdul-Jabbar's 44,149 combined points.

The 37-year-old James took control of the title with a 3-pointer in the third quarter of Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors.
