"As we look to the next hundred years at the Hollywood Bowl, I am honored and excited to share a season which, to me, speaks of a beautiful future ahead," LA Phil Music and Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel said in a statement. "From timeless music by Mendelssohn, de Falla and Verdi, to modern-day classics by John Williams and Duke Ellington, to the soulfilling sounds of our Pan-American Music Initiative, to the singular energy of Café Tacvba, each of these programs takes us on the kind of magic journey that can only begin at the Bowl."

Janet Jackson's opening night performance will be June 10, also featuring rapper Ludacris and the Youth Orchestra Los Angeles, YOLA.

Other featured performances during the season will be the Beach Boys during the annual Fourth of July fireworks shows, a July 14-15 stint by Kool & The Gang and Village People, a July 16 double-bill of Sparks and They Might Be Giants, and a 90th birthday celebration for Quincy Jones on July 28-29.

The shot LeBron James scored to break the NBA scoring record will go down as an iconic moment in Los Angeles Lakers history, in Los Angeles sports history.

James scored on a fadeaway jumper with 10.9 seconds left in the third quarter of Tuesday night's game against the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder at Crypto.com Arena and passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA's all-time scoring leader with 38,388 points.

It was a shot on par with Magic Johnson's baby hook to win Game 4 of the 1987 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics. It matched the shot Derek Fisher made with 0.4 seconds left to win Game 5 of the 2004 Western Conference Finals against the Sacramento Kings. It was as big as any of the shots Kobe Bryant made in his 81-point game in 2006 against the Toronto Raptors. It was as unstoppable as any of the sky hooks AbdulJabbar made in his career with the Lakers.

After the game, James, who scored 38 points in his team's 133-130 loss to the Thunder, said he wanted to add a signature touch to his record-breaking basket.

"I know a lot of people wanted me to go to the skyhook to break the record or one of my signature dunks," James said after the game. "But my fadeaway is a signature play as well. I was able to get it and touch nothing but the bottom of the net."

Abdul-Jabbar witnessed the record-breaking moment from the stands. He was one of several celebrities who were in attendance for the game. Denzel Washington, Jay-Z, Bad Bunny, LL Cool J, Usher and Andy Garcia were on hand for the historic moment in NBA history. Lakers legends James Worthy, Bob McAdoo and Johnson, along with Dwyane Wade, who played with James on two NBA championship teams with the Miami Heat, were also in the arena for the game.

After James scored the record-breaking basket, the game stopped for about 10 minutes for a brief ceremony to commemorate the moment. James hugged his family, wife, mother and three children, and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver congratulated James for breaking the record.

James thanked the Lakers' fans and posed for pictures with Silver and Abdul-Jabbar.

James entered the game needing 36 points to pass Abdul-Jabbar for the scoring record. He scored 20 points in the first half of the game and added 16 points in the third quarter. His 14-foot fadeaway at the end of the third quarter was the shot that put him over the top.

"I just played the game as it is supposed to be played tonight, as I've always done. Didn't press myself. ... When it comes to the record I felt pretty good, good rhythm," James said. "To break the record, I was able to get to a good spot on the floor where I am really comfortable with and get to one of my patented fadeaway shots."

He finished the game with 38 points on 13-of-20 shooting and made four 3-pointers. He added seven rebounds, three assists and three steals.

After the game, he paid homage to NBA greats, Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Oscar Robertson, Elgin Baylor, and Johnson and Abdul-Jabbar.

"I could be up here all night talking about these great legends," he said.

"For me personally it's an honor to just be named with the greats, being in the conversation with the greats who played this game before me and some of the greats that's playing right now."

The scoring record stood for 38 years, set by AbdulJabbar in 1984 when he passed Chamberlain. The 38-year-old James was born about nine months after Abdul-Jabbar set the scoring

My wife and I agree that if we were young and had a newborn son, we’d name him Brandon in honor of Brandon Tsay, the local hero who did what is the foremost duty in all societies: To protect one’s fellow humans from harm.

Brandon Tsay risked his own life when he confronted and wrestled away the gun from the man who, just minutes before, had shot 20 people (11 fatally) in a Monterey Park ballroom.

And we’d make sure that our son never forgot that remarkable young man whose name he bore.
