Lebron James, a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, was named to the NBA All-Star team for the 19th time on Thursday, tying Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most choices in league history. James, who received the most votes overall, will lead one of the teams in the All-Star Game on February 19 in Salt Lake City, while Giannis Antetokounmpo, who won the Eastern Conference voting, will lead the other squad. James is 157 points short of Abdul-38,387-point Jabbar’s career scoring total. If James continues to score at his current rate of 29.9 points per game, it will take him just over five games to surpass Abdul-Jabbar. If he doesn’t miss any games in that time, he could do it against Oklahoma City on February 7 at home. The NBA scoring record of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is being challenged by LeBron James. And now, on a different page of the All-Star record book, he has passed Abdul-Jabbar.
