King James has broken countless NBA records in his illustrious career and continues to set new milestones for the next generation. Just this week, LeBron became the only player in NBA history to score more than 39,000 career points. That puts him in a league of his own. In fact, other than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, no player has even come close to reaching that mark.
