“I just think it’s great for the game of basketball. To have Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in attendance: And I was able to get it and it touched nothing but the bottom of the net, and that was pretty cool.” I know a lot of people wanted me to go to the skyhook to break the record or one of my signature dunks, but my fadeaway is a signature play as well. “To break the record, I was able to get to a really good spot on the floor where I’m really comfortable with and get to one of my patented fadeaway shots. But looking back there and seeing my guys back there and out there on the floor with my kids, my wife and my mom, you know, it’s just a surreal feeling.” As much as I tried to live in the moment, it was kind of a blur. I had a moment there, but I don’t think it’s really hit me on what just transpired. So definitely a great moment right there, very emotional just being a kid from a small town in Ohio. I had a moment obviously when it happened, and embracing that moment and seeing my family and my friends and people that’s been around me since I started this journey, even before the NBA. On understanding the significance of the moment: Here’s some of what James had to say about his record-setting night and career: Following Tuesday’s game, he has 38,390 career points - more than anyone to play in the league. James passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the NBA’s all-time scoring leaderboard with 10.9 seconds left in the third quarter. Yet when you break the NBA’s all-time scoring record, like LeBron James did Tuesday night, you have to spend some time talking about it.
