James, who already passed Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s all-time leading scorer in 2023, has now set another record while passing up the six-time champion once again three years later. The 41-year-old superstar forward now owns the league’s record for most field goals in regular-season history.
It's another remarkable milestone for the future Hall of Famer, who seems to shatter records on a nightly basis during the 2025-26 campaign with the Lakers.
