Over the next few months, despite the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> being a terrible basketball team, all eyes will be on LeBron James<\/a> as he continues his pursuit of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar<\/a>‘s all-time NBA scoring record. As proof, we're actually following his progress on a game-to-game basis until he reaches the milestone, which should be in late January or early February of next year — assuming he doesn't miss too many games, that is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what some may not realize or have maybe already forgotten is that LeBron has already surpassed Abdul-Jabbar as the league's all-time leading scorer — if you include both the regular season and postseason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining the regular season and postseason, LeBron James became the NBA's all-time leading scorer in February 2022<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Greatness.
