The Los Angeles Lakers celebrated LeBron James’s recent scoring record with a second ceremony prior to tonight’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Lakers took another chance to honor King James, who passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the league’s all-time leading scorer.
Just two days ago, James knocked down a fadeaway jump shot from the left elbow that officially saw him pass Kareem for first on the all-time NBA career scoring list.
Fans shelled out thousands to secure a seat at Crypto.com arena to witness history, and James didn’t disappoint them – putting on a show by dropping 38 total points to seal the record.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver grabbed a microphone, as social media ran wild, to honor James alongside Abdul-Jabbar, who gifted James the ceremonial basketball.
James missed Lakers’ 115-106 defeat by the Bucks Thursday night due to injury.
