LeBron James has finally done it. He has accomplished what was considered unachievable until his longevity challenged the world of basketball. From the first moment onwards, he was defying every logic, every doubt. From being one of the most anticipated rookies to becoming the all-time leading scorer, his journey has not at all been easy.

King James pushes his scoring tally to 38,390
Now that LeBron has passed Kareem, the next stop for him is likely the 40,000 mark. With his longevity in play and his athleticism and explosive raw power virtually still intact at 38, there is a high chance he will cross the 40,000 mark before the end of his career.
He has already accomplished so much. But once he crosses the 40,000 mark, he would be decades ahead of any and all competition. There would possibly be no one who can break LBJ’s scoring record.
