Today in History: April 5; Kareem sets new career scoring record
Today in History: April 5.
In 1984, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, breaks Wilt Chamberlain’s career scoring record.
He played three seasons for John Wooden at UCLA, having an overall record of 88-2. His team went 30-0 his first season, culminating in a championship l, and went 29-1 in the following seasons, which also ended with champions. He was a three-time national player of the year (1967–1969), a three-time unanimous first-team All-American, was honored as the Most Outstanding Player in the NCAA Tournament three times, and became the first-ever Naismith College Player of the Year in 1969.
All of this is why many consider him to be the greatest collegiate athlete in history.
In 1969, he was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks, won Rookie of the Year, and his first NBA title the following season.
In 1975, he joined the Lakers, winning titles in ‘80 and ‘82. On April 5, 1984, the Lakers played the Utah Jazz, with over 18,000 in attendance, where broke the all time scoring, previously held by Wilt Chamberlain. He broke it with his patent skyhook from the right baseline.
After 20 seasons, Jabbar retired from basketball at age 42, tallying 38,387 points.
His record lasted 38 years, until Lebron James surpassed it, on February 7, 2023.
