“King” with all formality became the dawn of LeBron James, who broke the record of the great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and became the leading scorer of all time in the NBA.
The whole world was in tune in the Lakers game against the Thunder in Los Angeles and watched minute by minute the American star’s attempt to surpass the Bucks and Lakers legend.
The moment LeBron broke the recordcomments on social media were “raining”, with Current and Former NBA Players Deify ‘The King’.

Wow, never in my lifetime did I think I would see two NBA athletes score over 38,000 points! I still remember when my Showtime teammate, the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, broke the record. It was an honor to be the guy to pass it to him and cement his legacy!

This historic moment is so special because we will never see another LeBron James. He’s always been a pass-first leader whose ability to make his teammates better is one-of-a-kind? which makes his breaking the record even more incredible!
— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) February 8, 2023
He’s fourth all-time on the NBA assists list and now number one in scoring. By the time he’s done playing, I don’t think anyone will ever surpass LeBron as the NBA all-time leading scorer!
— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) February 8, 2023
38388 and counting… congratulations @KingJames!!
— Chris Paul (@CP3) February 8, 2023
LeBron is such an amazing man on and off the court. He’s an incredible entrepreneur, does outstanding charitable work in Ohio and across the country, and he always lends his voice and platform to those who don’t have a voice; especially the Black community.
— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) February 8, 2023
I want to personally thank you LeBron for trusting & believing in me & the Lakers in 2018 when I was president of basketball operations. Everything you said you would do, you’ve done? led the Lakers to a championship, elevated the Lakers brand, & gave back to the city of LA!
— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) February 8, 2023
