LeBron James surpassed Kareem in another category on Tuesday
LeBron James continues to rewrite the NBA record books, especially when it comes to longevity.
On Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Lakers made yet another statement to the rest of the NBA by smacking the Cleveland Cavaliers 127-113 in the second game of a back-to-back set. They have now won 16 of their last 18 games, and they're starting to look like a scary team no one will want to face come playoff time. Tuesday was also a historic night for LeBron James.
Three years ago, he surpassed Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the league's all-time leading career scorer, and earlier this season, he leapfrogged Abdul-Jabbar in the category of career field goals made. Now, James has gotten past the master of the skyhook to notch the most total wins in NBA history. LeBron James has passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1,228) for the most TOTAL WINS (regular season + playoffs) in NBA history š Greatness.

But he's playing his role as L. A. 's third scoring option very adeptly, and the team is thriving as a result.
