LeBron James is on the verge of breaking Michael Jordan's 55-point career record.
James is the fifth-ranked player in the world with 31,182 points, surpassing Wilt Chamberlain (31,149). Michael Jordan's fourth-placed total is just 4,260 points less than the 32,292 total. Given that he is averaging 28.4 points per game this season, he will be able to record only 17 more runs.
James remembers when he first met Jordan in his interview, "I was a 16-year-old boy when I first met Jordan. I said many times, but I felt like I was the first to meet God. "
James, who longed for Jordan, had already played Jordan's 23rd in high school. James played six times in Miami. 23 in Miami is already a permanent elimination due to Jordan's influence. James, who debuted in 2003 after Jordan retired, has never played with Jordan. James has grown to be an icon representing basketball since Jordan. Nike has chosen James as the next runner up to air jordan and is releasing the Lebron series signature basketball shoes.
James said, "I was able to come to this position because there were some seniors who had done well. It is blessed. Jordan made basketball world - wide. People around the world watched the basketball. The Dream Team with Magic Johnson and Larry Byrd imprinted why Jordan was the best athlete. Jordan and David Stern have made it happen today. Now, I and Adam Silver continue their legacy, "he praised Jordan.
"I dream of running a NBA club myself," James said. "I looked at Charlotte Hornets owner Jordan.
Jordan jumped into a pro after finishing third grade at the University of North Carolina. He made his first three consecutive victories in the 91-93 season, and then left the field for two years in a major league baseball game for his father, who died in a shooting incident. Jordan, who made his comeback in the playoffs in 1995, achieved three consecutive victories in 96-98. In the 95-96 season, he had a record of 72 wins and 10 losses. This record breaks with Golden State reaching 73 wins in 2016.
James, on the other hand, jumped right into the pro after he graduated from high school and has more advantages in achieving career records than Jordan because he does not have a blank. If James keeps his health, Kobe Bryant (30,363 points), Karl Marlon (36,928) and Karim Abdul-Jabbar (38,887) are the top three scorers.
