At this point, the Lakers superstar is bound to amass record after record, fortifying what's already a Hall of Fame-worthy career.

Next on the list for LeBron James to pass is Wilt Chamberlain, who scored 31,419 points in his illustrious career. There's a chance James could pass both Wilt Chamberlain and Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan (32,292) this season.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387 points), Karl Malone (36,928 points) and Kobe Bryant (33,643 points) are the top three scorers in NBA history. LeBron James turns 34 in December, but he has shown no signs of slowing down.

There's a chance James could break Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record one day, a record many thought would stand forever. Perhaps the craziest fact surrounding all these is that James is naturally a pass-first type of guy.
