LeBron James surpasses another Kareem Abdul-Jabbar record this season
The LA Lakers vs OKC Thunder Feb. 7 matchup last season was a historic moment for the NBA and LeBron James personally. Coming into the game, LeBron was only 36 points away from surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time scoring record of 38,387 points.
Many people anticipated whether that would be the night he would make history. Especially Kareem himself, who was sitting courtside. All eyes were on LeBron as he sank basket after basket in the tightly contested matchup. With just a little over ten seconds left in the third quarter, he sank a fall-away jumper over Kenrich Williams to become the NBA's new all-time leading scorer.
This year, LeBron once again broke another Kareem record as he continues his legendary career. With the announcement of this year's NBA All-Star teams, LeBron was revealed as the number-one vote-getter among NBA fans. Making him a lock to be a starter.
With this selection, LeBron was named to his 20th All-Star appearance, surpassing Kareem's previous record of 19.
The last time LeBron wasn't on an All-Star team was back in 2004 when he was a rookie playing straight out of high school. He still participated in the annual festivities that year as a part of the Rookie-Sophomore game. It still remains as the only time in his career where he did not make the All-Star squad.
