What an incredible accomplishment by the best basketball player ever, LeBron James.
He entered the league with unprecedented expectations and somehow surpassed them.
And he's not close to being done either.

LeBron was thinking about throwing the skyhook but finally opted for a little fallaway j to pass Kareem … which had to just come in the flow, could not have been planned. Love it. Nothing staged or scripted. Just played basketball.
— Skip Bayless (@RealSkipBayless) February 8, 2023
Great acceptance speech by LeBron … but could've done without the concluding f-bomb, even though it summed up his overwhelmed emotion.

This is never happening again.
You will not see the scoring record broken.
— HoopsHype (@hoopshype) February 8, 2023
Anointed at 16 as the next all time great.
18 All NBAs, 10 Finals, 4 Rings, 4 Finals MVPs… and still going.
No one has ever scored more… and people insist scoring isn’t what he does best.
The most hyped athlete ever… exceeded the hype.
The Greatest to Ever Do It. 👑 🐐

LeBron James has surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s all-time scoring leader. King James ranks top-five in assists and free throws made, and top-10 in 3-pointers made, steals, and wins. He exceeded the hype and much more after coming into the NBA as a teenager from Akron. pic.twitter.com/IUl6tEHmeR
