LeBron James achieved another milestone in his career, passing basketball legend Michael Jordan for fourth on the NBA's all-time scoring list.
“So many kids look up to me for inspiration and when I was a kid their age I needed inspiration and MJ was that inspiration for me along with some other people,” James said Wednesday morning. “So sometimes I have no idea how I’m even in this position to be able to sit here, play the game that I love, play at a high level and be linked with some of the greatest to ever play this game and obviously MJ being out of this world, so it’s pretty unique.
The milestone came against a coach he knows well. Denver Coach Mike Malone was an assistant coach in Cleveland from 2005 to 2010 and spoke of seeing James grow and mature from a young player.
