LeBron James is one of the greatest players in the history of the NBA. Overall, his status as an all time great was cemented two nights ago as he was able to finally break the all-time scoring record. This is one of those records that is almost impossible to break. However, with his longevity and consistency, LeBron was able to do what many once thought to be completely and utterly not possible. Even if you hate James, you can’t deny his greatness and what he means to the NBA as a whole. With this new record, he has only helped elevate himself amongst the game’s legends.
Going into the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, LeBron needed just 36 points to surpass Kareem. Many felt like this would not be possible and that he would just get the record tonight. Instead, James played an amazing game where he picked up 38 points. In the end, this was more than enough to put him over the edge that he needed. It was a truly historic night and James had all of the support in the world. Overall, it could have brought a tear to your eyes.
