Giannis Antetokounmpo leads NBA All-Star voting again, LeBron James makes it 21 straight

When it comes to the NBA’s all-time scoring list, No. 6 now stands alone at No. 1.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James surpassed Hall-of-Fame center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s 38-year-old record after scoring 38 points in a 133-130 loss to the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.

Spanning his two stints with the Cavaliers, James spent 11 seasons in the Central Division against the Bucks.

In his third season, the legend of King James swiftly began to disperse across the league. It was in the 2005-06 campaign that James embarked on an astounding playoff streak that lasted until his first season with the Lakers in 2018-19.

Two years prior on Jan. 5, 2007, the Bucks held James to a mind-boggling eight points, which still stands as the last time he’s scored under double digits.

This time, James was en route to his first MVP and torched the Bucks with 55 points, nine rebounds, and five assists in the Cavaliers’ 111-103 victory in Milwaukee. James racked up 16 points in under three minutes to begin the third quarter after trailing at halftime.

On a winter night during Year 1 of the Heat’s much-dissected Big 3, James and Dwyane Wade heated up the Bucks’ hardwood with what many consider as one of most iconic photos in the history of the league.

As James rises for his crushing one-handed dunk early in the first quarter, Wade confidently struts forward with his back turned from the action and his arms spread out after dishing the dime.

James dusted off the broomstick for his lone playoff series against the Bucks.

Guard Brandon Jennings infamously predicted “Bucks in six” but the No. 1 seed Heat swept the No. 8 seed Bucks in the first round of the 2013 playoffs.

No coach, no problem.

Despite Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue missing the game due to a leave of absence for health issues, James posted his third triple-double in four contests during a 124-117 victory in Cleveland.
