US President Joe Biden and several NBA legends have paid tribute to LeBron James after he became the league’s all-time leading scorer.

James amassed 38 points in the narrow loss, surpassing Abdul-Jabbar’s tally of 38,387, which had stood for 39 years. James’s career tally is now at 38,390 points, surpassing the record of 38,387 set by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1984.
