UPDATE: LeBron James is now the No. 2 all-time scorer in NBA history, passing former Laker Karl Malone. Ahead lies another former Laker, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.Malone scored 36,928 points.

Abdul-Jabbar’s record of 38,387 is in reach by next year.James has officially scored more points all-time in the regular season and playoffs than any other player.
