On February 14, Beijing time, in the Lakers' loss to the Jazz, James scored 18 points, and his Lakers career total score reached 10,603 points, surpassing Wilkes (10,601 points) and rising to the 10th place on the Lakers' all-time scoring list. That means James has unlocked another all-time achievement: he is the only player in NBA history to finish in the top 10 scoring in franchise history with all three teams.
The Lakers' all-time scoring leader is Kobe Bryant, who has played for the Lakers throughout his career, scoring a total of 33,643 points, ranking 2-9 with Jerry West, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Elgin Baylor, "Magic" Johnson, Worthy, O'Neal, Goodrich and Scott. James is unlikely to overtake Scott anytime soon, with more than 2,000 points separating them from each other.
However, James only played seven seasons to be in the top 10 of the Lakers' all-time scoring list, which is an incredible achievement, after all, the Lakers are a team with a long history and many legendary stars. So far this season, James has averaged 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 9 assists per game.
HoopsHype, a well-known American media, wrote: "James is the only player in NBA history to be in the top 10 of the all-time scoring list with three different teams, and now you know. ”
James ranks first in Cavaliers history in a number of statistics, including 23,119 points in his Cavaliers career, which is the highest on the list. In second place is Ilgoskas (10,616 points), with James more than twice as many.
Although James has only played 4 seasons with the Heat, he has also scored 7,919 points and is currently ranked 5th on the Heat's all-time scoring list. The Heat's all-time scoring leader is Wade (21,556 points).
With Doncic joining the Lakers, James and the 25-year-old supergiant form a new partnership, and the two need time to continue to grind together. The Lakers are currently 32-20 and are in fifth place in the West.
