LeBron James passes 38,000 points milestone in Lakers' loss to 76ers

LeBron James set a half-hearted screen on the left elbow before popping to the top of the key where Russell Westbrook found him with a pass.

James caught it and squared up without hesitation, effortlessly flipping the ball toward the hoop during the first quarter Sunday night against the Philadelphia 76ers.

As it passed through the rim and into the net, James became the second player in NBA history to score 38,000 career points. The player he's chasing, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, is the only other member of the club.
