The Los Angeles Lakers-Washington Wizards clash was an unforgettable one for LeBron James. Despite suffering a 127-119 loss over Kristaps Porzingis, Bron finished the night with 38 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists, surpassing Karl Malone for the 2nd position for all-time scoring.
While talking about his incredible achievement, LBJ also revealed that the goal of surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar one day is very much on the cards. James said:
“I will not allow myself to think about it. I’ve always just played the game the way I’ve been playing it over the years, and these things have just happened organically by just going out and playing the game the right way,” James said. “Hope to accomplish that at some point in my career, but I won’t think about it too much.”

Apart from LeBron, it was a memorable night for a young LeBron fan. The kid, who was wearing LBJ’s jersey from his movie “Space Jam 2”, extended his fist ahead in hopes to get a dap from The King himself. Luckily, the 4-time NBA champ didn’t disappoint the young enthusiast.
Here, have a look at the wholesome moment.
