LeBron James boosted his claims to be the greatest player in NBA history as he edged past Michael Jordan's points total on Wednesday. The Los Angeles Lakers star contributed 31 points during a 115-99 loss against the Denver Nuggets to nudge ahead of the Chicago Bulls great (32,292), moving up to 32,311. And so debate will rage again about who might be the greatest of all time, with James and Jordan certainly at the forefront of any discussion.
