Golf icon Tiger Woods heaped praise on LeBron James after the Los Angeles Lakers star became the leading points scorer in NBA history.
Last Tuesday, James scored 38 points against the Oklahoma City Thunder to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record of 38,387. The Milwaukee Bucks and Lakers legend had been atop the career points list since April 5 1984 - eight months before James was even born - when he passed the mark previously held by Wilt Chamberlain.
Woods is preparing to play in his first non-major PGA Tour event since the 2020 Zozo Championship this weekend at the Genesis Open, which is held at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles. While on the west coast, the 47-year-old was asked about James, whose Lakers sit 13th in the Western Conference despite the King’s impressive individual form.
