The argument for the greatest NBA player of all time is becoming more and more interesting, but at the same time, LeBron James might be widening the gap. The Los Angeles Lakers star already owns the NBA record for most regular season points and playoff points in a career, but he just reached an unbelievable mark.

On Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans, James reached 50,000 career points (regular season and playoffs), a milestone that will likely not be touched by anyone else for a very long time.
