Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is the NBA's career scoring leader with 41,222 regular-season points and counting. That is almost 9,000 more points than Michael Jordan -- the league's fifth all-time leading scorer -- scored during his 15-year career, which makes sense when you consider LeBron is in his 22nd season.

On Friday night, the Lakers defeated Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks 119-102 to secure their 20th win of the 2024-25 NBA season. Newly acquired forward Dorrian Finney-Smith had his best night as a Laker, tallying eight points and five rebounds off the bench.
