LeBron James Reacts To Scoring His 35,000th Career Point

Lakers superstar LeBron James made history last night by becoming just the third player to reach 35,000 points. Now standing at 35,017 career points, LeBron trails only Karl Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. Despite the 109-98 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, it was a historic night for LeBron James.

LeBron expressed his gratitude for the greats that paved the way for him to be able to get where he is today.

“First of all, I’m very humbled and very grateful to be part of such a great league and I love to do what … I mean, it’s a privilege to do what I love to do and that’s play the game of basketball, continue to inspire the youth and for me to be linked with some of the greats to ever play this game,” LeBron said. “It’s always an honor. And I always just want to go out there and play the game the right way, inspire my teammates, inspire people that watch me and just try to be as good as I can be every single night and not really put a ceiling on my ability, or put a ceiling on what I can do as far as this game.

“And I’ve had some pretty good moments, and I’m very thankful for that.”

It is amazing that LeBron is still able to play at this high of a level at this point in his career. The feat speaks for itself. It will be interesting to see if the king tops the scoring list by the end of his career. He may not quit playing until he does. We are truly witnessing an all-time great in LeBron James and we should appreciate it while we still have time.
