Clutchpoints – Spencer Haywood – The Player LeBron NEEDED To Break The Scoring Record

“Los Angeles Lakers’ star LeBron James only broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s scoring record because of one man: Spencer Haywood. A Hall of Fame player himself, Haywood fought for the right for NBA player to go straight from high school to the NBA. Without the Supreme Court’s ruling, LeBron wouldn’t have been able to go to the NBA from HS – missing out on potentially 4 years and 8,000 career points.”
