LeBron James has cemented his legacy in the NBA Hall of Fame, and he's determined to make it a unanimous decision in his first year of eligibility. On November 21st, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar became the first NBA player ever to score 39,000 points - an incredible feat. The three-point shot he made marked a historic moment in his storied career, and it's no wonder why he has earned the nickname King James.
In the Lakers' 131-99 victory over the Utah Jazz, James was only on the court for 24 minutes, but made the most of it, scoring 17 points. After the game, he reflected on what it means to be the first to reach such an impressive milestone. "I haven't had an opportunity to really wrap my head around what that means," he said. "To be able to accomplish something that's the first of anything, I think that's always pretty cool. It's a wild moment, that's for sure."
At this rate, James could still be playing in the NBA when his sons Bronny and Bryce become eligible. Bronny is a freshman at USC while Bryce is a senior in high school, and if the King can maintain this level of play for a few more years, he might get to see them compete in the league.
LeBron James' latest record is a testament to his success in the NBA, and his journey to becoming the all-time leading scorer is one that will be remembered for generations to come.
