King James Becomes Youngest NBA Player to Surpass 29,000 Career Points
Continuing his already historic career.
On Friday night in Washington, NBA superstar LeBron James scored his 29,000th career point, becoming the youngest player — at 32 years and 308 days old — in the history of the league to do so. James is now the seventh player in NBA history to reach that significant number, edging Kobe Bryant (33 years, 199 days) by a fair margin.
Bron Bron was able to claim his new title during Cleveland‘s 130-122 win over the Wizards. The game also saw James drop 57 points on 34 attempts and log his 800th consecutive regular season game of double-digit scoring, just behind Michael Jordan’s 866.
James now passes Kevin Garnett and former Celtics great John Havlicek for 11th on the all-time field goals list. The King also sits behind Dirk Nowitzki, Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Karl Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the career scorer’s list.
