In year 17 LeBron James has been so dominant that some players even believe he has the chance to make it to the top of the scoring list and exceed the scoring marks of Karl Malone (36,928) and and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387).
Bron going to pass Kareem that’s going to be dope if it happens

Former NBA player Glen “Big Baby” Davis has mixed feelings about LeBron James’s achievement as he call out the king for hiding from Clippers star forward Kawhi Leonard .
Shoutout to LeBron @KingJames . That’s great you pass Kobe today, but I need you to be great against Kawhi 👀. I need you to accept the challenge for real . Clippers bust y’all ass everytime . @Lakers @NBA @NBAonTNT @ESPNNBA @YahooSportsNBA @InsideHoops @RTNBA @BR_NBA
