James continues to climb the all-time scoring list.
LeBron James went into Thursday night’s game against the Miami Heat just two points shy of surpassing Patrick Ewing to become 20th on the all-time scoring list. At the 7:23 mark in the first quarter, LeBron made the leap into the top 20 in fitting fashion, scoring on a strong post-up move against Luol Deng to pass Ewing.
Ewing scored 24,815 in his 17-year career. LeBron now passes him on the scoring list in his 12th season.
