LeBron James becomes the highest scorer in NBA history

The Los Angeles Lakers winger LeBron James turned, in this fourth fair (8), the highest scorer in NBA history to score 36 points in games against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

He now accumulates 38,388 points, surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar – already settled –, who has 38,387.

The memory of Kareem remains for almost 39 years, when he pivoted over Wilt Chamberlain on April 5, 1984, eight months before LeBron was born.

The North American Basketball League considers only the score made in regular season games for the ranking, excluding the playoffs.

With 38 years of age – 20 of them in the NBA –, or Lebron James, a native of Akron, in Ohio, has 30.1 average points in the current season.
