The Los Angeles Lakers forward set the record in front a home crowd \u2014 which included Laker legend Abdul-Jabbar sitting courtside. James came into Tuesday\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> against the Oklahoma City Thunder needing 36 points to break the record; he did so with a 15-foot step-back jumper with 11 seconds remaining in the third quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The game stopped as James\u2019 teammates and family joined him on the floor and the video boards in Crypto.com Arena played a retrospective highlight package of big moments from his NBA career. Abdul-Jabbar also came on the court to embrace James and hand him the ball that broke the record as the crowd \u2014\u00a0raucous every time James touched the ball \u2014\u00a0chanted \u201cMVP! MVP!\u201d James teared up as the Lakers\u2019 P.A. announcer told the crowd, \u201cLadies and gentlemen, the all-time leading scorer, you have witnessed it: LeBron James!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cThank you to the Laker fatifhul, you guys are one of a kind,\u201d James said. \u201cTo be able to be in the presence of such a legend as Kareem is very humbling to me. Please give a standing ovation to the Captain!\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    He went on to thank his family, NBA commissioner Adam Silver and past commissioner David Stern, and wr<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ed up by saying \u201cI wouldn\u2019t be me without y\u2019all. \u2026 Fuck, man, thank you guys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Abdul-Jabbar had held the scoring record for nearly 39 years, passing Wilt Chamberlain in April 1984. He would play for five more seasons and finish his career with 38,387 points. James\u2019 record-setting basket came in his 1,410th career game, 150 fewer than Abdul-Jabbar played during his Hall of Fame career with the Milwaukee Bucks and the Lakers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Like Abdul-Jabbar, James has played in the NBA for 20 years \u2014\u00a0but since he entered the league directly from high school, he is at age 38 four years younger than Abdul-Jabbar was when he retired in 1989. James has said he would like to play for a few more years \u2014\u00a0and possibly with his son, Bronny. Should he play even one more full season, he\u2019ll almost certainly become the first NBA player ever to score 40,000 points in regular-season games. (James is already the all-time playoff scorer with 7,631 points in postseason play.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    James also ranks fourth all-time among NBA and ABA players in assists, 10th in steals and 35th in total rebounds. He has won NBA titles with all three franchises where he\u2019s played \u2014 the Lakers, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Between the third and fourth quarters, TNT, which aired the game, played taped tributes from Snoop Dogg, Magic Johnson (who was also in attendance) and Drake. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    James\u2019 record-setting night came in a loss, as the Thunder grabbed the lead midway through the second and never trailed again. They scored 27 points off 21 Lakers turnovers and held off a last-gasp Laker rally to win 133-130. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
