LeBron James believes Kevin Durant is capable of breaking the career scoring record of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

"His ability to score the ball is obviously up there with the greatest to ever play," James said. "I know that's not in his memory bank right now, him trying to help the team get better and better, but long term he definitely can challenge that."

James said Durant has an unprecedented combination of skills.

"He's a 7-footer with 6-foot ballhandling skills and a jump shot," James said. "And athleticism. It's never been done in our league. Never had a guy that's 7 foot, can jump like that, can shoot like that, handle the ball like that. So it sets him apart."
