LeBron James is 3 made shots away from passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most made shots in NBA history
Tonight the Lakers will play the Nuggets in Denver and going in to tonight’s game LeBron currently has 15,835 career field goals made which is only 3 away from passing Kareem’s all time record of 15,837. LeBron is averaging 8.1 field goals made a game this season so tonight he will in all likelihood break this record.
This is likely a record most people assumed LeBron already held especially since he has 4,724 more career points than Kareem but due to LeBron getting more free throws throughout his career than Kareem and LeBron also making 2,622 3s in his career to Kareem’s 1 is why he hasn’t broken this record years ago.
