LeBron James keeps moving forward.
James entered Saturday night’s game against the Boston Celtics needing just 158 points to pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s all-time scoring leader. He finished the night with 41 points on 12-of-24 shooting with nine rebounds and seven assists,That performance was just one part of a wild game against the Eastern Conference-best Boston Celtics, who were saved by a questionable no-call on a would-be James game-winner and pulled out a 125-121 win in overtime.
James averaged 20.9 points per game as a rookie and hasn't dipped below that pace since. He's on pace to break Abdul-Jabbar's record in 100-plus fewer games played than his fellow Lakers great. Abdul-Jabbar reached his tally of 38,387 points in 1,560 games; the Lakers' game against the Spurs was the 1,405th of James' career.. Here's the upcoming slate of Lakers games as James pursues one of the last great milestones of his basketball career.
