LeBron James has an "insane" list of greatest hits, like Bruce Springsteen, so says Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick.

James made more NBA history on Thursday, as he surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most career field goals.

The Lakers lost 120-113 to the Denver Nuggets, but in the process of scoring 16 points, James surpassed Abdul-Jabbar's tally of 15,837 field goals.

Redick compared James to rock icon Springsteen.

"I'm a big Bruce Springsteen fan," Lakers coach JJ Redick said.

"I would probably say his early albums really get me going. There's a youthfulness to him. And energy. 'Nebraska' is actually my favourite album of all time, and that's like very different for what he had done that far in his career.

"And then, you can see the evolution of him as a singer/songwriter. And then, he comes out with the greatest hits, and you're like, 'Wow, this is pretty good.' And then after that, he comes out with 'The Rising,' which is one of the most important albums of the 2000s.

"So, you get to the end and you're like, 'Holy s*** this guy's greatest hits are like insane.'

"And LeBron's greatest hits, he just keeps adding to them. He just plays and plays and plays and the greatest hits, he's got a hell of a catalogue."

James added: "Being mentioned with some of the greatest to ever play this game has always been humbling," said James, the league's four-time Most Valuable Player.

"I grew up watching, reading [about], idolising a lot of the greats, and if I was able to be part of the NBA, I wanted to put myself in a position where I can be named with some of the greats by doing something right.

"It's a pretty cool feat, but it's hard for me to kind of wrap my head around it or what it looks like.

"It's something that I never had a goal to have that record. I came into this league understanding that I had to start from scratch. As the number one player in the country, I had to start from scratch and get myself up that plateau of being the number one player in the world again. So that was my only mindset."

James is closing in on another NBA record.

He has now played 1,606 regular-season games, which is just five short of Robert Parish's record of 1,611.

"I don't know how many players have played in the NBA, but it's the greatest players in the world," said James.

"For my name to be mentioned with the greats and be at the top of it is awesome."
