For a player who never identified himself as a "scorer," LeBron James has sure found himself in elite company among the most potent offensive threats in NBA history.
James' jumper with 1.1 seconds remaining in the first quarter of the Cleveland Cavaliers' game against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday gave him eight points for the game and 30,001 points for his career. He is the seventh player to enter the 30,000-point club and also the youngest at 33 years and 24 days, besting Kobe Bryant's previous mark (34 years and 104 days).
