The seemingly ageless LeBron James made NBA history Tuesday night, dazzling in a high-scoring performance to edge past fellow Laker legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and become the NBA’s all-time scoring leader.
James, 38, now sits at 38,388 career regular-season points scored—with nearly half a season left to play in 2023.
Tuesday’s performance sent a sold-out Crypto.com arena into hysterics—where Lakers die-hards who wanted a close-up view of history shelled out at least $1,000 per ticket, even in the venue’s cheapest lower level seats, CBS News reported, citing reseller Vivid Seats.
