LeBron James passes Karl Malone and moves to second all-time in NBA scoring list, trailing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 38,387 points
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James waves to the crowed after becoming the second all time scoreing list NBA history during the second quarter against the Washington Wizards at Capital One Arena.
LeBron James moved into second place on the NBA’s career scoring list, surpassing Karl Malone in the second quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers’ game at Washington. James now trails only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the lead. He entered the game on Saturday night 19 points behind Malone’s total of 36,928. After a six-point first quarter, James went on a scoring binge in the second that included a dunk and three 3-pointers.
The last of those 3s brought him even with Malone. Then he made a layup off a backdoor cut with 5:20 left in the quarter to move ahead. Moments later, as Washington's Tomas Satoransky prepared to shoot free throws, James' accomplishment was put up on the video screen, and the crowd in Washington gave him a standing ovation. James acknowledged the cheers with a wave of his hand and exchanged a hug with Washington's Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, a former teammate.
