Lebron ‘King’ James has done it.
It’s an incredible accomplishment for LeBron James to become the all-time leading scorer in NBA history, surpassing the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar!
Not only did he achieve this in 150 fewer games than Abdul-Jabbar, but at the age of 38, he’s still averaging 30 points per game. It’s an incredible feat and it looks like he’s not done yet!
Congrats my brother @KingJames not hearing anything they sayin!! #38388

Given the significance of James’ achievement, it was not surprising that NBA greats and others turned out to honour the King on social media.
Some of the first to congratulate James on breaking the record were NBA teammates and Franchises.
All time scoring record is crazy. Witness history @KingJames
