In news that might come as no surprise to true NBA followers, the “King” himself, LeBron James has just surpassed legendary NBA Star Kobe Bryant as the youngest player in the NBA to attain 30,000 regular points in a season. To achieve the milestone record, LeBron James, the Cleveland Cavaliers player required just eight points, but in his usual consistent fashion, he managed to produce 28 points as his side lost against San Antonio Spurs, 114–102.
The ex-Los Angeles Lakers start, *Kobe Bryant* reach the milestone at **34 years and 104 days**. But LeBron James beat that record by reaching 30,000 regular-season points, at **33 years and 24 days**.
The Elite Group
Asides Kobe Bryant and the recent LeBron James, only five other NBA players have ever reached the 30,000 regular-season points tally. The other elite players include;
1.) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
2.) Karl Malone
3.) Michael Jordan
4.) Wilt Chamberlain
5.) Dirk Nowitzki
Dallas Mavericks Dirk Nowitzki who has 30,808 regular-season points, congratulated James in a message that read; "Congrats #KingJames. Welcome to the club!"
In a reaction to his personal achievement, LeBron James said: "The moment was unbelievable."
"The journey is something that I've been on for quite a while now and I will never take it for granted. It's unbelievable to be able to share something like that with my crazy team-mates. Let's keep this thing going and strive for greatness."
James now hopes to achieve more landmark records. The former Miami Heat star is also hoping to catch up and probably eclipse Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s career point’s record total of 38,387.

Lebron James can fall for you or you can fall badly, but nobody can doubt his professionalism and he is one of the best basketball players in the planet, he is a monster who surpasses 30,000 points in his career, for me the best in history together with His Majesty Michael Jordan.

Yea, King James is simply amazing @hernanjosegb.
Its still debatable though of who and who can be in the list of the NBA G.O.A.T.
But LeBron is still up there.

Lebron is a beast there is no denying that. But did he diminish his own achievement with stupid IG post writing a letter to "young king james" #embracedebate

Lol....the letter was pretty much a fun-move and more of a publicity stunt to rake in followers @thekidfromlife. LeBron isn't much of a social media person.
But sure he is a beast on the court, anyday.
