We are witnesses of history. We are fortunate to live in the same era as him and to be able to watch his exploits, game after game. Even in the descending phase of his career, even with the Lakers who struck the third consecutive defeat of a very complicated season, even if the identity card marks 38 years to be completed in December. LeBron James continues to write his personal history which has long been an integral part of NBA history. With such achievements, however, history becomes a legend. On the night, with 26 points (spiced up with 15 rebounds and 8 assists) scored against the Golden State Warriors, LeBron James became the best scorer in NBA history for points scored between the regular season and the Playoffs, well 44.157. “The Chosen One”, “The Chosen One”, surpassed in the special ranking of the scorers Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (which still maintains the record of points scored in the regular season 38,387) still at an altitude 44.149. To give a comparison, Michael Jordan is only the fifth player in this particular ranking with 39.283 points scored, nearly 5,000 fewer than LeBron James.
