LOS ANGELES: LeBron James overtook his boyhood idol and inspiration, Michael Jordan, for fourth on the NBA's all-time scoring list on Wednesday , making history with a driving layup for the Los Angeles Lakers in a home loss to Denver.
"It was very emotional. A lot of things were going on inside me at the time," he said."I didn't want to show what was going on behind that towel." "You have no idea. Some days you don't even think you're going to make it to the next day because of the way things are going.Jordan and James are often compared as the best players in NBA history. James wears the same No. 23 worn by Jordan and recalled being 15 when he first met his idol.
James finished with 31 points, moving his fourth-best NBA career total to 32,311, and added seven rebounds and seven assists for the Lakers . Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar holds the NBA points record with 38,387, with long-time Utah great Karl Malone ranked second on 36,928. "It was a pretty awesome moment," Lakers coach Luke Walton said."Knowing that moment was a few minutes ahead of him, I think that did something to him, nerve-wracking, that he doesn't feel normally at the start of a game."In other games, Zach LaVine scored 39 points, making the decisive layup with 1.6 seconds remaining, and host Chicago edged Philadelphia 108-107.
