November 20, 2020
LeBron James has climbed the NBA's all-time scoring list. Which player held second place before him?

Karl Malone held the second spot on the NBA's all-time scoring list with 36,928 career points, trailing only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The Mailman's consistency over 19 seasons made him a benchmark for scorers who followed. LeBron James eventually surpassed Malone on his way toward the top of the list.
