LeBron James Surpasses Jerry West On Scoring List

LeBron James continued his assault on the record books, passing LA Lakers great and league logo Jerry West for 19th on the NBA’s All-Time scoring list with 25,193 points. James finished the night with 30 points in the loss to the Pistons but was honored to pass West.

“Obviously, every single day, that’s what we all represent,” James said. “We all represent The Logo. You know, everyone — media, myself, my teammates, organization, fans — we all represent The Logo. To be able to pass a legend like himself, it’s an honor, an honor for sure. I know how much he did for the game, what he meant to the game. You know, I had an opportunity to read his book. I had an opportunity to actually talk to him a few times. … It’s pretty cool.”
