LeBron James continues to ascend and stake his claim as one of the best players to ever step foot on the hardwood.
The three-time champion and four-time MVP moved to 9th on the all-time scoring list Saturday night in a vintage 44 point performance against the Charlotte Hornets in Cleveland.
He passed Elvin Hayes for 9th and now has an incredible 27,359 career points.

With LeBron’s 44 point, 10 rebound and nine assist performance, he also became the first player in NBA history to have 27k points, 7k assists, and 7k rebounds for a career.

The crazy part of it all is the fact that LeBron looks to be in some of the best shape of his career and has yet to turn 32.
Look for King James to have plenty more milestone under his belt by the time he decides to hang them up.
