LeBron James just earned another NBA career milestone after passing Wilt Chamberlain in the NBA All-time field goals made list.

After converting his third basket against the Denver Nuggets, James was able to overtake Chamberlain in the third spot, 12,681-12,682.

The Los Angeles Lakers were able to rally from 12 down and turned the tide, 114-93 behind another monster performance from James with a triple-double, 27 points, 10 assists, and 10 rebounds.

At 36-years of age and a championship last season, King James continues to prove that he is still at the top of his game.

James’ solid performances helped the Lakers land the no. 2 spot of the Western Conference tied with the Clippers. The Utah Jazz sits at the top spot.

Having passed Chamberlain, James is now looking to overtake Karl Malone who is at no. 2 with 13,528 field goals made.

Far ahead from them is the legendary center Kareem Abdul Jabbar with an insane 15,837 field goals made on 28,307 shot attempts.
