LeBron had some very moving words on Thursday night.

At this point, every NBA fan should know that LeBron James has broken the all-time NBA scoring record. It is one of those records that has stood for a very long time. Overall, there was skepticism that anyone would ever break the record. However, James was able to do it thanks to an amazing career that saw him show up and show out, every single night. Moving forward, LeBron will be able to improve upon his record and make it that much harder to break in the future.

Unfortunately for James and the Lakers, the team still sucks despite his recent record. These days, James is trying his best just to squeak out a win. Ultimately, the Lakers opted to make some trades yesterday to improve the team. For instance, Russell Westbrook is now on the Utah Jazz as the team brought in D'Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, and Jarred Vanderbilt. Additionally, the team got Mo Bamba in a move that sent Patrick Beverley to Orlando. Subsequently, the Lakers were set to play the Milwaukee Bucks last night. However, James decided to take the night off, and instead, gave a speech to the Lakers faithful.

LeBron James Speaks

Throughout this speech, James spoke about his journey throughout the NBA and everything he has been through over the years. Moreover, he talked about the support he has gotten from his wife Savannah. She was standing behind him with their kids, and he said some moving words about her. “She’s the real MVP. She’s actually the All-Time leading scorer," LeBron said. Overall, it was very much in the same vein as what Kevin Durant once said about his mother after winning league MVP. No matter what, it is clear that James is grateful for his family and everyone who has believed in him.

Moving forward now, LeBron and the Lakers will have to fight to get into the postseason. They have an incredibly solid roster now, and it should be interesting to see how they start playing. Hopefully, for LeBron, this is the sign of only good things to come. Let us know what you thought of LeBron's speech, down in the comments below.
