LeBron James Vs Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: A Statistical Comparison

#5 Performance Stats - Totals

Kareem's dominance on the scoring end is pretty evident. He has 38,387 points which is the highest all-time in the regular season by any player till date. By the end of his extraordinarily long career, he had set NBA records for most points (38,387), most field goals made (15,837), and most minutes played (57,446).

Although LeBron's two-way efficiency is one for the books, he still has some ground to catch up in terms of block shots and rebounds. Kareem has around double the rebounds & triple the block shots that LeBron has in the regular season in just over 400 more games played.

The King's active hands on defence(1,865 steals in comparison to Kareem's 1,160) create tons of transition fastbreak buckets for his team, shedding light on his intercepting ability and basketball IQ to read the play before it happens. On the other hand, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar preferred a shot-blocking mentality suited to his tall frame and wide wingspan.
