On Tuesday night, LeBron James was deserving of a celebration, despite the fact that the Oklahoma City Thunder were the team that ultimately prevailed over him. During the second half of the game, he made a fadeaway shot, which allowed him to become the all-time leading scorer in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
James overcame Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who had held the mark since 1984, when he passed Wilt Chamberlain. James went on to become the new record holder. Although James achieved the record in 160 fewer games than Jabbar did, ‘The King’ is still unbeatable in his 20th season. Jabbar broke the record earlier this year.
After breaking the record during the Los Angeles Lakers’ loss on Tuesday night, James and his teammates celebrated his historic night at The Fleur Room, which is located on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood.
The Hollywood Reporter reports that LeBron James has broken the NBA scoring record, and that the stars were in attendance.
In addition to James’ wife, Savannah, and a number of his Laker colleagues, the stars Kelly Rowland, Karrueche Tran, Jimmy Iovine, and Corey Gamble were present at the event.
The reason Savannah James spoke was because James also did, and he expressed his thanks to his family and to everyone else who was present.
During the Lakers game, other celebs were seen sitting courtside. Dwyane Wade, Jay-Z, Floyd Mayweather, and Usher were among those who were present to watch LeBron James break the record.
The game was stopped to honor the superstar after James made the shot that put him ahead of Abdul-Jabbar. Abdul-Jabbar was present for the torch-passing ceremony, during which Commissioner Adam Silver spoke before handing James the microphone.
“Thank you so much, guys, for letting me be a part of something I’ve always dreamed about,” he continued. Never in a million years did I think things would get any better than it has tonight.”
James stated: “My spouse, friends, and family are aware that I don’t take credit for the things I’ve accomplished or the things they’ve done for me. Since I handle everything for them.
“Because it’s never about me, I appreciate some of my victories even if I get lost a lot. Without my wife, my children, and my mother, I couldn’t survive… A man cannot complete such a voyage by himself.
“I appreciate all and I love ya’ll, now where are my gifts at?!”.
