LEBRONJAMES

8:57 P.M. Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles, 8th of February, 2023, was the place and time LeBron Raymone James broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s scoring record, a record that was held for nearly 4 decades. The historic shot was a 15-foot “patented fadeaway shot” that he has perfected throughout his 20-year career in the NBA. After passing Kareem, LeBron currently has 38,390 points and counting. At the moment, he felt like he was the man of the arena and “sitting on top of the arena,” as he said. Becoming the scoring leader looks like an average day for LeBron, along with all the other accolades he has achieved in his career: 4x MVP, Finals champion & FMVP, 19x All-star, ROY (Rookie of the Year), 3x Olympic gold medalist, the list could go on and on.

At the beginning of the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, LeBron needed 36 points to pass Kareem. He didn’t even need a full game to do that, as he scored his 36th point of the game with just a few seconds left of the third quarter. Right after the shot was made, the game paused momentarily
