LeBron James declared the remaining 23 regular season games are the ‘most important’ of his illustrious career as he looks to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to the NBA playoffs.
James recently surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA’s all-time leading points scorer, dropping 38 against the Oklahoma City Thunder to move past the legend’s total of 38,387. The Milwaukee Bucks and Lakers icon had been atop the career points list since April 5 1984 - eight months before James was even born - when he passed the mark previously held by Wilt Chamberlain.
The 38-year-old has won four NBA championships while reaching the NBA Finals an incredible 10 times during his iconic career with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and the Lakers. James has made a record 19 appearances in the NBA All-Star Game, while he is a four-time MVP amid a number of individual accolades.
