"James hit a baseline turnaround jump shot over Denver Nuggets forward Zeke Nnaji with 12.3 seconds remaining in the first quarter Thursday for his third made field goal of the game and 15,838th of his career, passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most made field goals in NBA history."
"James already replaced Abdul-Jabbar as the league's all-time leading scorer on Feb. 7, 2023 with a step-back jump shot from the foul line extended, giving him 38,388 career points. He's since pushed that point total north of 43,000, putting some distance between him and Abdul-Jabbar at No. 2."
"Earlier this season, James passed Michael Cooper for No. 5 on the Lakers' all-time assists list and joined Kobe Bryant as the only other Laker with 1,000 made 3-point shots. The next major statistical milestone on the horizon for James is Robert Parish's record of 1,611 games played."
LeBron James achieved another historic milestone by making his 15,838th career field goal, surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's previous record.

James had already broken Abdul-Jabbar's all-time scoring record in February 2023 and has since extended his point total beyond 43,000. Earlier in the season, James also passed Michael Cooper on the Lakers' all-time assists list and joined Kobe Bryant as the only other Laker with 1,000 made 3-pointers. His next major milestone is Robert Parish's games-played record of 1,611, which James could reach in March.
