LeBron had his 21st score on a midrange jumper with just 7:51 minutes in the third quarter.
Nowitzki believes that LeBron has a crack at NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who is holding the No.1 position in the all-time scoring list with brilliant 38,387 points.
“His (James’) 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,” Nowitzki said.
Wilt Chamberlain has 31,419 and Michael Jordan has 32,292 points.
LeBron climbes up in the all-time scoring list, and he also surpassed Kobe Bryant in the all-time 30-point game list. The four time MVP has 432 30-point games to be able to eclipse Kobe’s 431.
King James was able to pass Shaquille O’Neal for 6th on the NBA’s all-time field goals in the third quarter. Shaq finished with 11,330.
“Dirk has always been one of my favorite players. Shaq is the most dominant player to ever play this game. So to be in the same conversation as those guys is a tribute,” LeBron said.
