LeBron James Reaches 16000 Career Field Goals
LeBron James became the first player in NBA history with 16,000 career field goals, hitting the mark on a layup early in the second quarter against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. He needed two makes entering the game and reached it while giving the Philadelphia 76ers a 33-23 lead. James passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the all-time field goals record last season, when he was with the Los Angeles Lakers. Kareem finished with 15,837 makes, while Karl Malone is third at 13,528. LeBron is adding even more space between himself and everyone else.
🧙♂️ Merlin’s Prediction
LeBron will push his career total past 16,100 field goals before the end of this month.
