When it’s all said and done, LeBron James is going to set statistical marks that are going to be almost impossible for anyone to match. He has played at such a high level for so long and is going to continue doing so for a couple more years at least.
He accomplished arguably his most impressive feat earlier this month when he surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the all-time leading scorer in NBA history. Kareem had held the record for nearly 40 years and LeBron might end up holding it for even longer than that.
LeBron climbing up to No. 1 in the scoring charts, means now he ranks 1st all-time outright in 7 major NBA categories.

A look at the numbers here shows just how impressive it is and the crazy part is that there is a good chance he adds to all of these by the time he’s done playing.
– All-Time Scoring Record: 38,411 Points- All-NBA Honors: 18 – First Team All-NBA Honors: 13- Playoff Scoring: 7,631 Points- Playoff Wins: 174 Wins- Player of the Month Awards: 40- Player of the Week Awards: 67
He is tied with Kareem for the most All-Star selections at 19 and will almost surely take the lead next year. It has been an incredible career and it has gotten to the point, where you would have to say that LeBron has even exceeded the high expectations that were on him when he entered the league.
He has shaken up the standings when it comes to the all-time leaders for the major statistical categories and a look at his best accomplishments by season shows just how amazing his career has been. LeBron’s playoff resume is incredible as well, and he’ll be hoping he can add to it this season.
NBA Fans React To LeBron James’ Statistical Dominance
It seems like this whole season for LeBron and the Los Angeles Lakers was leading up to him breaking the scoring record. It was a celebration unlike any other and LeBron now leading in these categories has led to fans heaping praise on him.

It is said that you never say never, but there’s probably never going to be someone who can match all that this man has accomplished. His greatness should be appreciated for as long as he is around because there’s a good chance you’ll never see anything like this ever again.
