LeBron James broke the previous record set by Kobe Bryant to become the youngest player to reach 11,000 points in NBA history, the Associated Press is reporting.

James (23 years, 324 days) reached the plateau with a wide-open jump shot set up by a great crossover dribble late in the first quarter of the Cavaliers' game with the New Jersey Nets. He came into the game with 10,987 points.

Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers was 25 years, 99 days when he reached 11,000 points.
