LeBron James is 27 victories away from passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most regular-season wins in NBA history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

LeBron James<\/a> could add another historic achievement to his resume during his first season with the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NBA reporter Evan Sidery<\/a> noted that James enters the 2026-27 campaign only 27 victories away from surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most regular-season wins by a player in NBA history.<\/p>\n

Abdul-Jabbar currently holds the record with 1,074 career regular-season victories, while James has accumulated 1,048 wins.<\/p>\n

A further 26 victories would allow James to tie the six-time NBA champion, while his 27th win of the season would move him into sole possession of first place.<\/p>\n

LeBron continues pursuit of NBA history <\/p>\n

James is already the NBA’s all-time leading scorer and holds several longevity records after spending more than two decades in the league.<\/p>\n

He will now have an opportunity to surpass Abdul-Jabbar in another major statistical category while beginning the final chapter of his career in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old joined the 76ers after ending his eight-season tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers, signing a two-year deal ahead of his record-extending 24th NBA campaign.<\/p>\n

James will play alongside Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Jaylen Brown as Philadelphia looks to compete near the top of the Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n
