LeBron James Passes Allen Iverson
When the Cleveland Cavaliers played the New York Knicks last Sunday. It was not only Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smiths' return. Some history was made in the making. LeBron James passed on of his childhood heroes, Allen Iverson, for number 22 on the NBA's all-time scoring list in the Cavaliers 101-83 win versus the Knicks. LeBron before the game came in trailing just by three points behind Iverson, and wasted little time to pass him, scoring four points in the first 1 minute and forty-four minutes of the game. After finishing with 18 points, LeBron has scored 24, 383 points in his NBA career.
This is what LeBron had to say about passing Iverson, "It's very, very humbling, and it's an honor to just be named with some of the greats that I watched growing up, and now to know that I passed Allen Iverson on the all-time scoring list, for someone that's not much of a scorer as you guys have deemed me, it is pretty cool."
"It just means that my teammates have allowed me to do things to help them win ballgames, and I've been fortunate enough to go out and bless the game the best way I know how and just play hard." James added on his accomplishment.
Passing Iverson on the all-time scoring list was yet another accomplishment by James while playing at Madison Square Garden, where he had big games.
"It's always special being in this building, like I said last week it's the mecca of basketball. So it's always special to get on the court."
He is 122 points behind the number 21 player on the list, his former Miami Heat teammate, Ray Allen.

I think that Lebron will make it higher in the list, He is still a young player he definitely has the opportunity considering how much he scores for the team every night and all the big performances he has i just read recently that he has also passed Scottie Pippen in the all time assist list for Forwards so he is getting up there breaking all these records that have been set by Players that were in the league or the ones still in the league now.
