LeBron became the youngest player to reach 10,000 points in the history of the National Basketball Association.

With LeBron coming out of High School scoring like crazy it is no surprise.

Kobe Bryant made 10,000 points at the age of 24 years and 193 days.

LeBron James made 10,000 points at the age of 23 years and 59 days.

Hey, we are getting a numberish here, but you get the idea. Both of these players are great star players and scoring machines.

James did it in 368 games, the ninth fastest in NBA history.

It should be mentioned that the Cavaliers lost this game to Kevin Garnett and the Boston Celtics. Oh well.

Kevin Garnett scored 18 points with 11 rebounds to help Boston win its third straight and improve to 2-2 for the season against the defending Eastern Conference champions. The Cavaliers were playing their third game with four new players, including Ben Wallace, acquired in an 11-player, three-team deal at the trading deadline. source
