The 34-year-old moved up to fourth in the NBA's all-time scoring list on Wednesday night.
LeBron James moved up to fourth in the all-time NBA’s scorers list on Wednesday night, surpassing Michael Jordan in the process.
Including the 46 games he’s played this season, James averages 27.1 points per game in his career and, with the exception of his rookie season, he’s never averaged fewer than 25 points per game. Providing he stays injury free, he could move into second place in the all-time scoring list by the end of his third season with the Lakers.
Given LeBron will turn 35 at the end of December, his workload will have to be managed very carefully in future. James sits 16th in the all-time list of steals leaders and would require an additional 113.7 games to surpass Alvin Robertson in ninth place. Chris Paul currently rounds up the top 10 and is 161 steals ahead of LeBron, but the Houston Rockets point guard is expected to continue playing, therefore James would effectively have to reach Robertson to be in the top 10.
