Find someone that loves you as much as Rihanna loves LeBron James.
Savannah might have had to throw hands if Rihanna had been in attendance for the recording-breaking night.
LeBron ended up scoring 38 to break the record.
LeBron James might insist he’s not a scorer, but the Los Angeles Lakers star punched a major hole in his own argument with a historic night amid the 20th season of his decorated NBA career.
With a 14-foot jump shot with 10.9 seconds left in the third quarter, James surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s 38,387 career points to move into the No. 1 spot on the league’s all-time scoring list Tuesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
After the record-breaking shot, James raised both hands into the air as he looked skyward. Photographers quickly circled him on the court, as chants of “MVP, MVP” rained down from the crowd at Crypto.com Arena.
The game was stopped as some members of James’ family, including his wife, mother and his three children, took the floor for a ceremony recognizing the moment. The Lakers played a video filled with highlights of James’ career on the arena videoboard, after which commissioner Adam Silver and Abdul-Jabbar joined James at center court.
“A record that has stood for nearly 40 years,” Silver said. “Many people thought it would never be broken. LeBron, you are the NBA’s all-time scoring leader. Congratulations.”
James entered the game with 38,352 points, needing 36 to overtake Abdul-Jabbar. He finished the night with 38 points on 13-of-20 shooting (4-of-6 from 3) to go along with 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals in a 133-130 Lakers loss.
The Lakers credentialed more than 200 media members for the occasion, an amount typically seen for a late-round playoff game. James’ family and friends from Akron, Ohio, were in attendance, including some high school teammates.
The Lakers would take the loss to the upstart Thunder, which is sort of a microsome of their season.
LeBron plays well, but they end up losing.
With that being said, you are here for Rihanna, so Rihanna, you will get.
