It’s been a historic season for LeBron James, and more milestones are ahead for the four-time NBA champion and MVP.
James led the Lakers to an undefeated record in the inaugural In-Season Tournament, earning MVP honors as Los Angeles beat the Indiana Pacers 123-109 for the title in Las Vegas on Dec. 9. During the tournament, James eclipsed 39,000 career points, after he had already passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387 points) as the NBA’s all-time regular-season leading scorer on Feb. 7 of last year.
James — with 39,868 career regular-season points — is expected to hit 40,000 in February or March.
