There are not many milestones that LeBron James is still chasing. Arguably the greatest basketball player of all time, he already has the most points in a career and increases his own record with each game he plays.

James entered the Lakers' game against the Los Angeles Clippers with a combined 49,982 points —41,820 in the regular season and 8,162 in the playoffs. This meant that he only needed 18 points to breach the 50,000-point mark.

LeBron is 131 points away from being the only player ever to reach 50k career points. Combined with his regular season scoring, LeBron James has 49,894 total points scored in his career. That puts him 106 points away from the incredible mark of 50,000 total points scored.
