While Tom Brady’s NFL career may be over, LeBron James is still going strong, and has no plans of stepping away anytime soon. He confirmed as much on Tuesday night, when asked about his pursuit of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s NBA all-time scoring record.
Abdul-Jabbar, another Lakers legend, finished his career with 38,387 points, a mark that seemed unreachable for years. James entered the season at 37,062, and the 38-year-old continues to play at an elite level. After a 28-point effort in the team’s 129–123 win at the Knicks on Tuesday, he now sits at 38,299, just 89 points short of the league record.
