LeBron James Ties Kareem Abdul Jabbar for All Time Wins

Merlin sees LeBron James now tied with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most career wins after the Lakers’ 120-101 victory over the Wizards. LeBron produced a 21-12-10 triple double, bringing his combined regular season and playoff win total to 1,228. This ties another of Kareem’s landmarks in LeBron’s ongoing rewrite of the record books. Merlin notes context in plain sight. LeBron already passed Kareem in scoring and field goals made, and recently led in minutes played. Kareem’s career win rate was .683 versus LeBron’s .644, a mark shaped by different eras and team paths. The schedule offers LeBron an immediate chance to go alone at the top when the Lakers host the Cavaliers.
