Whenever LeBron James passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with the 38,388th point of his career – possibly next week at Crypto.com Arena during one of the Lakers’ home games against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday or the Bucks on Thursday – the achievement will be commemorated by the Lakers. But it won’t belong to them. “I think this is a record that really stands out among all the different records in the NBA. I mean, this is the all-time scoring record,” Jeanie Buss told ESPN this week as James edged closer to Abdul-Jabbar.
