LeBron winning a championship with Kyrie Irving is a bigger achievement than the scoring record.
[Here is the record breaking shot.](https://streamable.com/beznkf)
LeBron has now scored 38,388 points over the course of his 20 season career.
We have now witnessed two all time greats in one era of sports fandom. We had Tom Brady in the NFL, and we still have LeBron James doing his thing in the NBA. Pretty amazing in the grand scheme of sports history.
What truly fascinates me about LeBron is that he was *so incredibly hyped* coming into the NBA as a high schooler–and he *actually* lived up to the hype. Just amazing to see.
LISTEN, KID! I’ve been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I’m out there busting my buns every night! Tell LeBron to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!
And he got to say fuck on national TV!
What an awesome moment to witness. I’ve been watching him since I was a kid practically. He deserved this.
Crazy how hyped he was as a child and he’s overachieved on all of it. Congrats
Really didn’t expect a 30 min presentation during the middle of the game
1 of 1, there will never be another.
Iconic. From 3rd grade to my 29th birthday.
Such a memorable career, I don’t think it’ll ever happen again.
Yeah, but how many Sherlock Homes mysteries has he written? And don’t tell me it doesn’t matter, we all know it does
LeBron breaking the record, having them stop the game so he can celebrate, all the while his team is losing at home to a mediocre Thunder team perfectly encapsulates this phase of his career
He’s in the Thomas Edward Brady tier of “I’m not even mad anymore, I’m just impressed”
Used to hate the Patriots, **definitely** hated Miami LeBron (and I’ll never forget ’06)…but after this long, as a sports fan, you just sit back and appreciate greatness.
Wonder how outrageous the ticket prices were
Kareem would be higher but he was busy flying airplanes too. Plus he was out sick after eating the fish on one flight and the plane had to be flown by a PTSD suffering war pilot with a drinking problem..
LeBron “Maybe it’s me, Maybe it’s LeMaybelline” James
Damn all those points he’s been putting up this season and the next GenStat machine said with 27 games left the Lakers have a 5% chance of making the playoffs this year.
Thus, he now assumes the mantle as LeBron James-Jabbar.
History
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how many games it took for each player to get to that number?
And he’s number 4 in all time assists. Thats what makes him getting this record so crazy
Wow! I can’t believe the record was held by a pilot this whole time.
But is he an airline pilot?
I mean he’s been in the league longer than most players that went to college first. He should break records
Lebron James is good at basketball
