Magic Johnson says LeBron James is “inching up there” when referring to Michael Jordan
, Lakers legend Magic Johnson addressed LeBron James’s legacy as he approaches Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time scoring mark.
“The legacy is set in stone,” Johnson said. “I just hope that he gets another championship. I hope that he can compete.” James is currently the NBA’s second all-time leading scorer at 37,062 points. He is just 1,325 points behind Abdul-Jabbar. As long as he plays a 20th season in 2022–23, he will likely surpass the former Lakers big man for the top spot.
James also has four NBA titles, still short of Johnson and Abdul-Jabbar, who were teammates for Los Angeles. A fifth championship would tie him with other all-time greats like Johnson, Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan. If he could get a sixth ring, he’d be on par with Michael Jordan and Abdul-Jabbar. Johnson made it sound like adding some NBA titles to his trophy case could push James’s career to another level—specifically Jordan’s.
