Tuesday was a special night in the NBA and the sports world. LeBron James broke the league’s all-time scoring record, which had been held by fellow Los Angeles Lakers great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar since 1984.
He surpassed Abdul-Jabbar toward the end of the third quarter on a fadeaway jumper, and the game was stopped for several minutes as both Abdul-Jabbar and NBA commissioner Adam Silver commemorated James for the accomplishment.
