Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is the NBA's career scoring leader with 41,222 regular-season points and counting. That is almost 9,000 more points than Michael Jordan -- the league's fifth all-time leading scorer -- scored during his 15-year career,

By taking the court, James passed one-time opponent and Hall of Fame forward Dirk Nowitzki for fourth all-time in games played. James, who turned 40 years old last week, has suited up in 1,523 total games and now trails only Robert Parish (1,611), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1,560) and Vince Carter (1,541) in that category.

With an 18-foot jumper with 5:58 to play, LeBron James reached at least 30 points in the regular season for the 563rd time in his career, breaking the record established by Michael Jordan in 2003.
