LeBron James passes Robert Parish on NBA all-time wins list

Key Highlights

• James now has 1,015 wins and counting.
• The only player with more regular season wins than James is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1,074). James discussed the accomplishment after the game, and he made sure to pay respect to Parish for helping to pave the way for future generations – something James also aims to do.“It’s super humbling,” James said.
• “… To be able to be in the position to play the game that I love and still be able to do it at a high level.
• … Obviously I didn’t get to an opportunity to see Robert Parish when he was at the height of his game, he was in the ‘80s.
• I did see later when he was with the Bulls, but, you know what he meant to the game in that era especially, all those championships they were winning.

James earned his win that passed Parrish, as he put on a vintage performance in Philadelphia.
