The 39-year-old James became theleague’s all-time leading scorer around this time last year againstthe Oklahoma City Thunder, surpassing the great KareemAbdul-Jabbar.
James is also the only player inNBA history to record 40,000 points, 10,000 rebounds and 10,000assists – and it's unlikely we'll ever see another player join the40K-10K-10K club.
