LeBron James came very close to setting an NBA record for points scored, but the Los Angeles Clippers upset the Los Angeles Lakers 133-115.

With 46 points, the 38-year-old was 178 points away from Jabbar’s record of 38,387 points set by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

James also created NBA history when he became the first player to score 40 points in a game while playing every NBA franchise.

James’ final tally includes a career-high nine three-pointers, eight rebounds, and seven assists.

In the next two weeks, James might beat Abdul-record Jabbar’s if things keep going as they are.

“He’s currently performing at an incredible level. It’s incredible to be able to witness “Darvin Ham, the Lakers’ coach, stated.

“I’m glad for him, but we need to improve. We must assist in other areas as well. We’d like to win some games. So that everyone, including myself and my employees, can do a little bit better, “He went on to say.

Paul George led all scorers with 27 points as the Clippers beat the Lakers for the ninth time in a row, extending their winning streak until the opening game of the 2020-21 season.

The Clippers moved up to sixth in the Western Conference, while the Lakers fell to 13th.

LeBron James earlier became just the second player in NBA history to have more than 38,000 points in a career.

The Denver Nuggets defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 99-98 in the meantime when Nikola Jokic made the game-winning shot with 16 seconds remaining.

Jokic, who had missed the previous two games with a hamstring injury, finished with 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists as the Nuggets won their 10th game in a row.
