NBA: LeBron James gets special Gold and Marble sneaker to mark historic feat
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James is the NBA’s All Time Scoring leader after scoring 38 points to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record 38, 387 points. James’ record stands at 38,390 points.
James shattered Abdul-Jabbar’s record in Lakers 130-133 loss to Oklahoma City Thunder at the Crypto Arena; the game was interrupted to honour James for reaching the historic mark.
Abdul-Jabbar was in attendance and handed a basketball to James to mark the special moment; the former Milwaukee Bucks star Abdul-Jabbar broke the scoring record held by Wilt Chamberlain in 1984.
In response to James’ historic feat, sneaker giant, Nike, gifted LeBron a special sneaker that had a “gold and marble” theme.
LeBron’s fade away jump shot put the former Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers star ahead of Abdul-Jabbar on the all time points leader board.
