Abdul-Jabbar had scored 38,387 points over the course of his illustrious career, and many thought that record would be unbreakable. But LeBron is now the NBA’s all-time scoring leader and he continues to add to his lead. The interesting thing with the four-time champion and 19-time NBA All-Star is that 40,000 points is now in striking distance. And DraftKings Sportsbook has added a market so that bettors can try and win some money trying to figure out when The King will reach that milestone.
