LeBron James Becomes Youngest NBA Player To Score 30K Points EVER!

King James is at it again...or did he ever really stop? Since entering the NBA, dude has been a force to be reckoned with. According to USA Today, James moved into the 30,000 points club on January 23 during a game against the San Antonio Spurs. 

He officially surpassed Kobe Bryant's record of being the youngest player to reach 30,000 points. Kobe did it at 34 years and 104 days old, but James is now the reigning king having done it at the age of  33 years and 24 days.

Check out Kobe's salute to King james on Twitter! Kobe ranks 3rd on the list of all time scorers with 33,643 points.

James joins a list of NBA greats like Dirk Nowitzki who sits at number 6 on the list with 30,837 points. Dirk congratulated James via Twitter.

Even the NBA Commissioner, Adam Silver, released a statement  saying "Congratulations to LeBron on reaching 30,000 points -- yet another milestone in an extraordinary career that continues to inspire."

But nothing compares to the shout out from his wife and kids! Around the 6 minute mark in this video, which features a host of people congratulating LeBron from his current teammates to his high school coach, LeBron's family congratulates him on his 30,000 points milestone. 

Now that's big love!

This season James is doing what King James does best and that is put up big stats. He is averaging 26.8 points per game, 8.6 assist per game, and 7.9 rebounds per game. They don't call him the king for nothing. In fact, if he keeps putting up numbers like this, he may surpass the NBA's all-time leading scorer, Kareem Abdul Jabbar. By the way, Jabbar holds the number one spot on the all time scorers list with 38,387 points. Currently, James sits at number 7 on the list with 30,021 points.

Those ahead of LeBron also include Karl Malone at number 2 with 36,928 points, Michael Jordan at number 4 with 32,292 points, and Wilt Chamberlain at number 5 with 31,419 points.

James said he never really set out to be the NBA's all-time leading scorer, but it looks as if he'll reach the milestone anyway.  A big vote of confidence came in from his best friend Dwyane Wade: "I think he can, I think he can, once he looks at it and says, 'That's only 8,000 away at some point let me see what I can do,' I think he will try to go get it," Wade told Cleveland.com.

King James & D-Wade go way back. Always nice to see their support of each other.

In order to pass Abdul-Jabbar on the list, James has to average 21.6 points in 70 games. 

If you've ever watched this man play, you know those stats are very possible for him. 

Congrats on joining the 30K club King James! Well done!
