Lakers’ LeBron James: 'Super humbling' to be close to breaking NBA’s scoring record

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com.

Barring injury, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James will pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s all-time leading scorer at some point during the 2022-2023 NBA season. 

James is second on the all-time scoring list, just 1,325 points behind Abdul-Jabbar. He’s averaged 27.1 points per game in his NBA career, meaning that the four-time NBA champion will need 49 games during the upcoming season to break the record.

As the Lakers attempt to recover from the disaster that was the 2021-22 season, James is honored to be mentioned with the greats of the NBA as he prepares for his 20th NBA season.

"To sit here and to know that I’m on the verge of breaking probably the most sought-after record in the NBA, things that people said would probably never be done, I think it’s just super humbling for myself," James said on Monday. "I think it’s super cool. 

"Obviously, Kareem has had his differences with some of my views and some of things I do," he continued. "But at the end of the day, to be able to be in the same breath as a guy that wore this same uniform, a guy that is a staple of this franchise along with Magic [Johnson] and "Big Game [James Worthy]" for so many years, especially in the '80s. And I guy that does a lot off the floor as well, I think is just super, super dope. For myself to even be in that conversation, anytime my name is mentioned with the greats … It’s super humbling."
