Most people expect James to surpass Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA’s all-time leading scorer sometime this coming season. He is currently second on the list of career regular season points and just 1,325 points behind Abdul-Jabbar, who is the all-time leader in that category.

James has won four NBA championships and one scoring title, and he has 18 All-Star selections, 13 All-NBA First-Team and six All-Defensive team selections to his name.
