LeBron James is currently fewer than 400 points away from surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s all-time greatest scorer.

James will pass the great Lakers centre later this season, barring any serious injury difficulties. At the beginning of the season, he talked about the forthcoming success.
But at the end of the day, I think it’s just super-duper dope for me to even be in that conversation with a person who worn this same uniform. A guy who was a staple of this franchise, along with Magic [Johnson]. Big Game [James Worthy] over there for so many years, especially in the ’80s.
