LEBRON James continued his milestone collection in his 16th year in the NBA.
The Los Angeles Lakers superstar became the fourth player in NBA history to breach the 33,000-point plateau during his team’s 114-110 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday, Manila time.
James, who will turn 35 on December 30, knocked down a deep three-pointer to surpass the scoring barrier, on the way to helping the Lakers come away with a road win and their ninth overall that solidified their hold on the top spot with 16-2 record.
James joins an elite club that features Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387), Karl Malone (36,928), and Kobe Bryant (33,643).
