LeBron James, 33, continues to break barriers, but now, he’s reached a major milestone as a Laker. He passed Wilt Chamberlin, for fifth place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list Wednesday night (November 14) against the Portland Trailblazers. James first tied Chamberlain on an and-1 with 3:55 left in the fourth quarter, then passed him on the free throw. James has now reached 31,420. Chamberlain reached 31,419. Now, James sits directly behind Michael Jordan (32,292), Kobe Bryant (33,643), Karl Malone(36,928), and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387) on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.

James finished the game with a near triple-double — 44 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists — to help Los Angeles’ 126-117 win at Staples Center. This also marks his first 40-point game of the season and the most by a Laker since Kobe Bryant scored 60 in his career finale. James is also the first Lakers player to surpass the 40-point mark since D’Angelo Russell in 2017.

The 14-time All-Star kicked off the game hot from beyond the arc, making his first five 3-pointers. But, it was in the third quarter when he really took over. James had 16 of the team’s 38 points to help the Lakers build on their halftime lead. James sat out at the beginning of the fourth, before re-entering the game with seven minutes left. He made all eight of his fourth-quarter free throws, including the two from the flagrant foul on Portland’s C.J. McCollum — an impressive change after shooting poorly from the line, even calling himself “garbage” after he previously missed two key free throws in a prior game.
