The Los Angeles crowd screamed and stomped with every point while James steadily surged toward the mark held since April 1984 by Abdul-Jabbar, who watched the game from a baseline seat near the Los Angeles bench. “But the fadeaway is a signature play as well.” “A lot of people wanted me to go to the skyhook to break the record, or one of the signature dunks,” James said with a grin. When James surpassed Abdul-Jabbar’s record 38,387 points, a crowd that had roared for his every basket went the craziest of all. I had a moment there, but I don’t think it’s really hit me, what just transpired.” “Seeing my family and friends, the people that’s been around me since I started this journey to the NBA, definitely very emotional right there. “I had a moment when it happened, and I embraced that moment,” James said afterward.
James has been thriving under formidable pressure his entire adult life, and this was nothing the King couldn’t handle - although the man who says he almost never cries had tears in his eyes after he made history with that nimble step-back shot in the third quarter.
