Three years and one month after LeBron James<\/a> passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar<\/a> to become the NBA\u2019s all-time leading scorer<\/a>, history repeated itself Thursday night, with a fadeaway jumper ultimately unlocking another milestone for The King.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite a <\/span>fourth-quarter elbow injury<\/span><\/a> that <\/span>kept him out<\/span><\/a> for the game’s final possessions, James finished with 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, three steals and a block. And in true Laker fashion, they fell to the Denver Nuggets, 120-113, squandering their chance to <\/span>move up to fifth in the West<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
