LeBron James accomplished another personal milestone in his first season with the Los Angeles Lakers, surpassing franchise icon Kobe Bryant for fifth on the NBA all-time field goals made list.
James entered play against the Phoenix Suns needing four baskets to overtake Bryant. He did so with a driving layup late in the second quarter.
As James reached 11,720 career field goals to move past Bryant, now ranked ahead of him is Michael Jordan, with 12,192 career field goals. Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sits atop the list with 15,837 made field goals.
James and Dirk Nowitzki (eighth with 11,092) are the only current players ranked in the top-10 in field goals made.
