Inside the numbers: LeBron James and his path to 50,000 points in the NBA, including playoffs

Hindustan Times  

Another milestone awaits LeBron James: 50,000 NBA points. By NBA rule, the 99 points he's scored in play-in tournament games and the 2023 in-season tournament final don't count, so he's officially at 49,999 for now. A look at the magnitude of 50,000 points: Only two other players have 40,000 The only two players, other than James, who scored more than 40,000 points in NBA regular season and playoff games were Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone. Kevin Durant is second to James among active players with 35,191 points including playoffs — which means even if he averaged 2,000 points a season he would still have to play into the 2032-33 season to have a shot at reaching 50,000. Who does James score the most against?
