The Los Angeles Lakers haven't had a great 2022-23 season, but it was all worth watching due to one man.

LeBron James surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA's all-time leading scorer on Feb. 7.

The 19-time NBA All-Star needed just 1,325 points to pass Abdul-Jabbar this season, and it didn't even take him until the All-Star break to reach that mark.

Where do the other active players stack up on the all-time scoring list? Let’s take a look:
