Against the Oklahoma Thunder, LeBron James broke the NBA points record, held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
For the story. Facing the Thunder on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday February 8 in France, LeBron James broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s historic NBA points record. With 38,388 points scored since the start of his career in 2003 with the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James has managed to reach a bar that seemed unattainable for many specialists, that of 38,387 points for “KAJ”.
“It’s surreal because I never made it a goal. I never really wanted to be a top scorer, so I’m just happy to be. I just want to have longevity, to be able to ‘be the best I can be every night. I know I can play for a few more years. I know that by the way I feel, how my body reacts this season. It all depends on my state of mind. If I’m still motivated to try to compete for titles, I feel like I can still do it. It’s a pretty surreal feeling to be able to play at this level 20 years after my debut, to be at the top of my basketball” confessed LeBron James after the meeting at the microphone of TNT.
