LeBron James breaks NBA all-time scoring record

LeBron James surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time scoring record of 38,387 points Tuesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder in front of a sold-out Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, according to ESPN.

The NBA’s Twitter account posted a series of tweets leading up to James breaking the record. So far this season the 38-year-old is averaging 30 points per game, ESPN reported.



Also of note, James wore a headband, something he was known for early in his career but has shied away from as of late.
