"I do see it": LeBron James opens up after his NBA’s all-time scoring record

LeBron James has reached his NBA’s all-time scoring record long held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387 career points). After being named as the male athlete of the decade by The Associated Press, James has shared his thoughts, He said: “I do see it. You add another 10 years of learning and adversity, pitfalls, good, great, bad, and any smart person who wants to grow will learn from all those experiences,” James, who turns 35 Monday, told the AP. “A decade ago, I just turned 25. I’m about to be 35 and I’m just in a better (place) in my life and have a better understanding of what I want to get out of life.” James is the only NBA player to score 33,347 points, including playoffs, in the last 10 years. Starting the decade 124th on the league’s all-time scoring list, he’s now about to pass  the top three players Kobe Bryant, Karl Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. “I would be lying if I said I don’t see it. Obviously I’m not trying to say, ‘OK, well if I play this amount of time, if I average this’ … I’m not doing that because I’ve never done that with my career. I’ve always just kind of let it happen. Whatever happens, happens. But I see it. I do see it,” he added.
