And with 7:23 in the third quarter, James’ driving layup gave him 33,644 points and pushed him ahead of Bryant (33,643) for No. 3 on the scoring list, behind just Karl Malone (36,928) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387). The Sixers called timeout to acknowledge the moment, and James received a standing ovation from fans. He finished the night with 29 points and 33,655 for his career, but the Sixers used a late surge to defeat the Lakers 108-91.
