The Lakers showed out for LeBron.

LeBron James is one of the best players in the history of the NBA. Moreover, he is now the leading scorer in the history of the league. Although no one thought he could ever get to that point, he has defied the odds with a truly incredible accomplishment. Overall, LeBron will go down as a top-two player ever, with many claiming that he is the greatest to ever do it. If he can pull out a fifth NBA title in the next few years of his career, perhaps that GOAT status will be cemented.

As for his scoring record, that is one of those accomplishments that is truly impossible to ignore. It almost feels unreal that LeBron was able to do it. After all, it is a record that stood for 40 years. However, LeBron James is now the proud owner of the record and is keeping it in the Lakers family. As it turns out, the Lakers are grateful to LeBron for this, as they gifted him an incredible new pendant and chain created by Eliantte & Co.

As you can see in the video up above, the pendant and chain have a solid gold base. Furthermore, the face is covered in diamonds, as is the NBA logo clasp. The main detail here is the gorgeous lion which is a reference to LeBron's Nike logo. Overall, this thing is glistening and it features a ton of great details that pay homage to LeBron. "It was a monumental moment that they wanted to commemorate," Simon Babaev from Eliantte and Co. told USA Today Sports. "The inspiration is everything that is LeBron as a person, where he came from, where he is and where he is going."

LeBron has shown off the piece on social media, and it is very clear that he loves it. At the time of writing this, we do not know how much the Lakers spent on it. However, we are sure they spent a lot of money. These kinds of pieces take a lot of effort to create, and the resources are quite expensive. Let us know what you think of the chain, down below.
