In Jan. 2023, LeBron James became the second player in NBA history to score 38,000 career points, but who was the first?

Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar scored 38,387 points in his career. LeBron James became the second NBA player to score 38,000 career points on Jan. 15, 2023. He also broke the record for being the youngest player to ever reach every career scoring milestone from 21,000 to 38,000 points. If the Lakers star keeps his current rate, he could become the top all-time scoring player as early as February.
