LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – FEBRUARY 07: LeBron James #6 of the Los Angeles Lakers reacts with Savannah James, Bronny James, Zhuri James and Bryce James after scoring to pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, surpassing Abdul-Jabbar’s career total of 38,387 points against the Oklahoma City Thunder at Crypto.com Arena on February 07, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.

LeBron James is now the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, having passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night.

 

Kareem had held the record since 1984 and, at one time, it seemed like no one would usurp him. However, LBJ has set himself atop the category and appears to be keen on putting even more distance between himself and the 75-year-old as he looks like he’s rumored to be planning to play for at least a few more seasons.

LeBron’s historic night brought numerous celebrities to the Lakers’ Crypto.com Arena but the folks who meant the most to him, his family, were on hand to watch. While the night belonged to the 38-year-old star, his wife Savannah’s outfit is what’s gone viral.

What LeBron James Said After Passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

After King James scored the highly-anticipated bucket, the game stopped to welcome the celebrations. The four-time NBA Champion would address the crowd and was unable to hold back the tears.

“I just want to say thank you to the Laker faithful. You guys are one of a kind,” he remarked. “To be able to be in the presence of such a legend and great as Kareem, it’s very humbling. Please give a standing ovation to The Captain, please.”

Speaking to his family, he said: “I thank you guys so much for allowing me to be a part of something I’ve always dreamed about.”
