LeBron James Breaks Kareem’s All-Time Scoring Record 

Breaking a 38 year old record with total of 38,388 pts, at the age of 38. And he scored 38 pts this game, on the 38th day of the year. It's all part of the plan👑🐐

If Ben Simmons maintains this years average of 7.4 ppg, he would only need to play at least another 55 full seasons in order to catch LeBron.

I was born too late to witness legends like Kareem and Chamberlain. But I was born in the right time to witness Lebron! True greatness.

The fact that this man is a pass-first player, 4th all-time in assists, and still managed to break the scoring record is absolutely phenomenal. We will never see another player be top five in both categories. Ever.

To play 20 years like it’s in your prime is definitely inhuman. He truly deserves it. Congratulations King. What an amazing career

As a kid I saw Lebrons first NBA game vs the Kings. 20 years later I watched him break the points record. Amazing!

It’s crazy that Lebron is in his 20th season and is still a top 5 player in the NBA. We truly are witnessing greatness

Much respect to LeBron for keeping in shape and being able to perform at a high level this deep in his career. Great accomplishment 👏🏾

Celtics fan here. Ive nothing but respect for lebron. Used to hate him for rivaling my celtics but.. when kobe left us. I learnt to never take things for granted. Hope to see lebron for at least another 5 years in the league. King james !

so proud of him man, been a huge lebron fan since 2010/11 when he first played for the Heat, when i was 8/9 years old lmao. had alot of the shoes growing up and lebrons always been a huge inspiration to me man, had tears watching this live.

Kareem look like he thinking bout suiting up one more time😭

What an incredible moment!! Year 20 and he has broken the record and is now the NBA All-Time Scoring Leader!! Congrats Lebron!!

I wonder how cool it was to watch this through an iPhone while actually being there, as if there wouldn’t be a million other shots by professional photographers.

He won his 1st Championship vs OKC and breaks the all time scoring record vs them as well 👑

“This man has accomplished something that I don’t believe, and I mean this sincerely, I don’t think this will ever happen again.” - Former Lakers broadcaster, Chick Hearn, when Kareem became the all time scorer on April 5, 1984.

I keep watching this, so amazing and not like any other basketball moment I've experienced before. The huge celebration, game stoppage, official commissioner announcement and everything. Been a LeBron fan since I was a teenager back in 2007 and it's crazy to see this now

People have to understand that Kareem had that record with only shooting 1 3point shot in his whole career and he played several years in college. Lebron came straight out of highschool and just broke the record now. It goes to show how crazy Kareem’s record is.

What a career he’s had.

LeBron has further cemented himself as one of the greatest players ever. Crazy what he can do at his age, still playing like a beast

The most consistent NBA player of all time. He’s been durable, he’s been a great scorer and playmaker for 20 years. Incredible.

This man is walking in his purpose!!! Way to do great things and bring sooo many along with you!!!

A kid from Akron grew up, became a King, had some glorious time away in Miami, brought his home state it’s first ever championship, and is still playing unbelievable averaging 30ppg in his 20th year. And now, is the all-time leading scorer in NBA history. Truly the greatest player of an era, maybe of all time. 👑🐐

I love how in all other sports they wait for the end of the game for these ceremonies, but in basketball it’s like “nah get the family on the court, the game can wait!”

Crazy to think that we would see this in our lifetime. The kid from Akron has come a long way. Congrats LeBron!❤

Once in a lifetime moment. Never thought I’d see it.

Gives me chills seeing him and his family In that moment

Love him or hate him, we’re gonna miss this man when he retires 😔😔

I remember seeing his first points of his career live on tv

Watched him play since 2008. It is truly amazing moment for basketball fans. Congrats King James!

Beast of a player and even better being off the court. I can never remember him getting in trouble off the court. Hands off to him for being a good role model for his kids!

Absolute legend. It’s been a honor watching him

Greatness at the highest level 👑💪🏽

“I’m not good at accepting praise” -Lebron

Those MVP chants gave me goosebumps. So glad i watched this live man, witnessed history today 👑

Now I’m about to watch his highlights of his first career game…I’m glad he didn’t force a skyhook.

I'm proud to be a LAKERS fan. I'm so proud that the top 4 scoring leaders and 7 out of the 10 scoring leaders in NBA history wore LAKERS uniform. Just wish we won this game though. Guess can't have it all. Congratulations Mr Lebron James!!!!

That's quite an accomplishment! Much respect.

Lebron was the most hyped athlete of all time coming out of high school, he exceeded the hype, the GOAT 🐐 👑

This moment will be remembered forever

I really watched this mans whole career since I was a kid now I’m 29 years old what a ride it has been🥲 Lebron is the GOAT 👑

Great shot too to really show how dangerous LeBrons step back is. 🔥

We don’t have much to celebrate in boring Ohio. But this man (and you too Kyrie even though your ego broke the team up immediately after) gave me a moment I’ll never forget back in 2016 as I watched the Cavaliers win Cleveland’s only championship in a span of what is now 59 years. Watched it with my Dad on Father’s Day. He was reaching the point where he thought he would never see a Cleveland championship. Now, again thanks to Lebron, we can say the all time leading scorer in the NBA’s 76 year history is from here in Ohio. I know he had losing finals record, but 4 rings is still 4 rings. This man is legendary, and I’m glad to have witnessed his career. I think a lot of people are going to miss watching him play when he’s gone and will realize they shouldn’t have spent his whole run taking things for granted and endlessly hating him just because they liked Jordan back in the day. Jordan was a phenomenon himself, that doesn’t mean we have to get all insecure and hate every future athlete the media compares to him.

Wilt's all time rebound record and stockton's all time assist record are the ones that will never be broken

Dedication, hard work and perseverance. This man spends over a million each year on maintaining both his body and mind. Not all athletes are like that.

00:53 Kareem like "what's all the commotion about

Never mind the fact he went from high school immediately into the pros adding 4 years bypassing college.

Appreciate this man’s greatness!!

A truly great player and an even greater person, a man who was labelled The Chosen One out of high school with the greatest expectations we've ever seen on a young player yet despite so many people waiting for him to fail he somehow managed to even exceed expectations and he did it all while representing the sport in an impeccable fashion, appreciate this guy while he's still around.

@0:52 Kareem's thinking to himself "should I just snatch a ball and break the record again"

loved watching this live

Greatness at the highest level

Its simply wow for the king LBJ,Congratulation KING JAMES from all of us here in Lakers Nation Philippines!!!

Now to see how long his record will last! He most definitely reaching 40k though

Can’t believe I am alive to see this. Happy and thankful to lebron for being able to see this which I am sure is going to stand for a very very long time as we don’t have 17/18 year olds coming to the league right out of high school anymore and players playing as long as lebron is at the level he is playing

Akron, Ohio is proud of LeBron. You go guy.

They lost the game. Kobe hit 81, they won. He scored 60 on his final game, they won. Go figure.

a phenomenal athlete. congrats king james 👏

Much Love to you and your family

Two greats:Captain&King🏀

I may have never been a huge fan of LeBron but he’s one of the best to ever do it so congrats man

We lived in the era of MJ, Kobe and LeBron… Frickin Frackin Legendary what we have been able to witness during our lifetime!

Congratulations Andy.

One of the greatest to ever do it 👑

the KING is the all time scoring KING ! Congrats Bron

Dude that was on king James didn't even try to stop him lol.....he just let him hit the shot "he was like I make you make history" 🔥🎯🤣😂💯

I can't believe I miss this I had overnight work

I thought that record would never be broken.

Wow what a milestone! Wonder what he's thinking next 40k? Crazy to just be playing/competing at all at that age

Y’all Americans are ungrateful…. This is probably the best athlete you have ever had or will have in any American sport and the hate he gets it’s disgusting. LeBron is more loved in the rest of the world than in his home country. He changed the sport.

I'm just a football (soccer to you guys) fan and I'm curious. Can you just pause a game midway through to celebrate a record like that or was this some sort of exhibition match

Curry with the 3pt record and this man with the all time record those two are DIFFERENT!! 🐐🐐💪🏾

20 years and he never slowed down. People can hate all they want but what hes done is nothing short of phenomenal

This concludes my interest in NBA for 2023.

Westbrook definitely made sure he was getting that assist

Was expecting him to score a Kareem’s signature hook move

In just one year LeKing now have 40k pts 👑

this is wrong footage, where is the one that kareem block the shot?

Kobe would be happy to see lebron break Kareem’s record

LeBron has pulled off the impossible. And for him to be performing at a high level at his age is amazing. Congratulations, LeBron

We are truly are witnessing greatness

What the! The game is not yet over.

Imagine having the most hyped shot ever hit on you

The guy guarding him got a place in history now too😭

I remember sitting at a Cleveland area B-Dubs seeing a sport-news segment about this high-school kid from near where I was from on there. Talking about the next MJ is at SVSM trying to remember if we ever played them in football since that's what I played in hs. I don't think we did but it was cool as hell to see a kid from our area on a national sports show. I remember saying I hope he kicks some ass and that I'll get his rookie card. Well, he kicked ass for sure. #1 scorer in NBA history. I was too broke to buy cards back then though, so no rookie King James in my collection. Probably should have slowed down on the B-Dubs wings and beers and snagged a case of 03' Upper Deck Basketball huh? Haha. Damn happy for him. What a cool moment.

He travels twice on that possession 😂😂

a legend never dies my friends.

*We are all witnesses.*

I will never forgive steameast for trolling this game

Shout out to you LeBron from Cleveland

This record seems extremely hard to break as is, and the scary part is he might have a few Elite level years left in the tank

The ceremony lowkey killed the Lakers focus and momentum heading into the 4th in a comeback effort

I’m still trying to process this rn as we in the WCF

I know it’s a blessing to be able to watch it get broken 💪🏾

Breaking a record, pausing the game to do a long ass ceremony to celebrate one man, and then losing. Sums up his career.

" 38,388 points ..... without a single skyhook" (LeBron James)

Kareem like alright man so what am I supposed to do again?

Kareem was like oh no

Will not see a career like his for a long long time 👑

THE GOAT 🐐 FROM THIS ERA .. THE KING 👑 FROM AKRON OHIO CONGRATS.......

Lbs beard style always gets me 😁
