CLEVELAND, Ohio -- LeBron James has scored more points against the Chicago Bulls than any other team.

Perhaps karma is at work for No. 23. After all, James picked jersey No. 23 because the same number was worn by Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan.

James, who at home on Thursday or Saturday likely will become the seventh NBA player to reach 30,000 career points, has scored 1,534 points in 54 games against the Bulls.

Second is his 1,533 points against the Milwaukee Bucks. But James has also faced the Bulls and Bucks more than any other team - 54 times each.

For scoring average, James' top career numbers are 29.41 points a game against the Utah Jazz, 29.4 against the Boston Celtics and 28.9 against the Oklahoma City Thunder/Seattle SuperSonic franchise.

Below are James' scoring numbers against each NBA franchise.
