LeBron James Beats Michael Jordan To Set Yet Another NBA Record

According to a recent list of names that covered the most points over a ten-game span, it was none other than LeBron James who took home the top spot. So what was the catch? As LeBron James already reigns supreme in the NBA. As it turned out, Michael Jordan had acquired the second spot, which meant James had surpassed the greatest of all time. 

James has 327 points for the Los Angeles Lakers, and Jordan has 317 points for the Chicago Bulls. For the Lakers, James scored 302 points again, as in point three. Fourth on the list was Elgin Baylor of the Lakers, and fifth it was Jordan again.

This is not the first record that James has overtaken from the GOAT since there are many more records that James has taken over the years. Despite Jordan’s retirement and James’ playing at the age of 37, they can’t be compared in terms of their skills. However, after Jordan, who would you consider the greatest athlete of all time?
