LeBron James Breaks Record For Top Scorer In NBA History
As we just mentioned, the recent news that LeBron James has surpassed the all-time NBA scoring record holder Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and became the NBA new leading scorer.

But he did not give up and continued to work hard. Until 1989, when he retired, he set the NBA's highest all-time record with 38,387 points. This record runs from 1989 until February 7, 2023. That is, in this year, a rising basketball star LeBron James has always regarded Abdul-Jabbar's highest score in history as his goal and has been trying to surpass it.
LeBron James is indeed speaking with his own actions. And NBA 2K23 also shared a graphic of him with other previous scorers on his social media account. At first, everyone felt that Wilt Chamberlain's historical scoring record would not be broken. But James did not give up because of this, and has been on the way to win the championship. Until LeBron James officially broke the record. NBA 2K23 also quickly sniffed the news and introduced a new challenge in its own game for all players to challenge.
New LeBron Challenge
