“If he stays healthy, the way he’s looking and moving, he has a chance at Kareem (Abdul-Jabbar),” Dirk Nowitzki\u00a0previously told<\/a> ESPN<\/em>. “His numbers have been unbelievable. He doesn’t seem to slow down. The stuff he was doing last year in Year 15 was incredible. If he keeps this up, he can pass Kareem.”\u00a0<\/p>\n Kareem Abdul-Jabbar<\/a>\u00a0holds the No. 1 spot <\/a>on the all-time scoring list with\u00a038,387 points.\u00a0Karl Malone<\/a> comes in second with\u00a036,928, Kobe Bryant<\/a> is third with\u00a033,643, and\u00a0Michael Jordan<\/a> is fourth with\u00a032,292. At this rate, it seems pretty safe to say that\u00a0LeBron will continue to climb up on the list.\u00a0<\/p>\n
