Cavs’ LeBron James continues to move up (Video)

LeBron James surpasses Knicks’ Patrick Ewing in NBA’s all-time scoring list.
LeBron James cannot be stopped. Last night he moved into the top 20 on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. During the first-quarter of the Cavaliers 114-88 win over the Heat, Lebron hit a hook shot giving him his 24,816th career point. That shot pushed him past New Yorks Knicks legend Patrick Ewing.
“To pass him tonight in scoring, obviously, I never thought I’d even be a scorer as I am or even be able to put my name with those guys growing up,” Lebron said.
He’s already passed Charles Barkley, Allen Iverson, and former Heat teammate Ray Allen in the past year. If he continues to move up (which we all know he will) he will pass Jerry West who has 25,192 points.
Lebron finished last nights game with 23 points, putting his total points at 24,837. Lebron currently sits sixth in career scoring among active players.
