James will be honored again with a larger-scale celebration at the upcoming NBA All-Star Game in Salt Lake City.<\/p>\n<p>Joined by his family, a teary-eyed James addressed the cheering crowd, acknowledging Abdul-Jabbar, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and the fans.  \u201cI thank you guys so much for allowing me to be a part of something I\u2019ve always dreamed about,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a towering achievement,\u201d Silver said in a statement. \u201cAnd quite amazingly, LeBron continues to play at an elite level and his basketball history is still being written.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The scoring record was long thought of as untouchable.
