NBA icon Michael Jordan told Michael Wilbon of ESPN to stop criticizing LeBron James. LeBron is one of the most scrutinized players in NBA history. Jordan, who is friends with Wilbon, once told the ESPN commentator to leave LeBron alone.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is the NBA's career scoring leader with 41,222 regular-season points and counting. That is almost 9,000 more points than Michael Jordan -- the league's fifth all-time leading scorer -- scored during his 15-year career, which makes sense when you consider LeBron is in his 22nd season.

With a turnaround fadeaway jumper, LeBron James scores 30 points for the 563rd time, breaking a record Michael Jordan held since 2003.
