LeBron James has accomplished quite a bit in his almost 14 seasons in the NBA, championships, league MVPs, 1st Team All-NBA nods, and he is still only 32.
He added another notch to his belt Thursday night as he climbed one rung higher on the ladder that is the NBA’s all-time scoring list, passing Shaquille O’Neal to move into 7th.

As you can see in the tweet above, LeBron now has 28,599 points in his NBA career, which means he will be joining the elusive 30,000 point club one would assume in 2017-18.
He had 26 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists and passed The Big Aristotle in the 4th quarter of the Cavaliers 99-93 loss in Chicago, seriously what is going on in Cleveland?
The big fella apparently wasn’t too happy about his former teammate passing him on the all-time scoring list…

If you look at the numbers, considering Dirk is expecting to comeback, LeBron may not be able to move up any more spots on this list in 2017-18, but you can bet that he will be top five at the very least by the time he decides to hang them up.
Once again, quite the accomplishment in a career full of them, I am sure King James is much more concerned with figuring out ways to drag his team out of whatever mega slump they are in and find their rhythm again as they head into the postseason and their NBA title defense.
