He is also closing in on the all-time scoring record for regular-season only and is likely to get there next campaign.Along with these milestones, the 'King' is nearing another unthinkable feat. With his next two assists, LeBron will be the first player to enter the 30,000 points, ten thousand rebounds and ten thousand assists. To put that into perspective, no other player in the history of the NBA has managed to enter the 30k-10k-10k club so far.James continues to thrive as one of the best all-around players in the league and the numbers are there to show for it. He doesn't have the tag of being a "scorer" for now, but that could change soon, owing to his points per game tally this season, which could see him bag his second career scoring title.
