Lebron James NBA History

Abdul-Jabbar then joined a clearly emotional James and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver on the court after the historic basket.

James scored 20 points in the first half with a full showcase of the offensive talent, that still shines blindingly after two decades in the NBA and he tore through the record in a 16-point third quarter. The game was stopped for about 10 minutes while James hugged his family and participated in a brief ceremony with silver and Abdul-Jabbar.
