passing a fellow laker, kareem abdul-jabbar. once he broke this record the game was actually stopped for the celebration that was certainly do lebron joined on his court by his family, by the man he also passed, kareem abdul-jabbar. and even the nba commissioner, adam silver. in other words, everyone was watching to see whether tonight would be the night that he actually did it. i came into the game, -- and watch what happened in this really important, powerful moment. >> lebron, for the record, he's got it. he's done it. lebron james is now the all-time leading scorer, in the history of the nba. the king wins the crown. >> so his son brawny, of, course election in the making in his own right. and everyone taken to the court and seeing the emotion pouring out of them. i mean really he has done it, he came in scoring 36 points at least, mind you, what the record was actually set by kareem abdul-jabbar, in 1984. eight months before that man, lebron james was even born. joining me, now cnn correspondent omar jimenez is in los angele

please welcome, oh, my gosh, kareem abdul-jabbar!rs and applause] well. well, well, well. >> well. >> sarah: you know, when they said i could guest host this show, then they said, who is your dream guest? don't say -- it doesn't have to be realistic, just say one dream guest and then make a realistic list, and i said, kareem abdul-jabbar. [cheers and applause] let's pretend this is a therapy session. i am your therapist. >> all right. >> sarah: of course, as everyone knows, lebron james just broke one of your records, and you were so gracious and there and everything. but how did it make you feel? >> [laughs] i like to say, i am pretty glad that my role in it was finished. [laughs] you know, but lebron worked real hard for it. he deserves it. he has spent his adult life as a premier athlete and done an exceptional job at it. and his heart is in the right place. i don't know, you may or may not know how he sent a whole school district to college. [cheers and applause] yeah. >> sarah: nice. >> a whole lot he can be doing with that tuit

kareem abdul-jabbar in the house in l.a..ebron said he wanted to get it over with tonight, that's what he told his family. the first quarter, lebron gets it started with a three ball. second cordy come -- second quarter, lebron going to the basket, 22 from the mark. pull-up three, this is part of his game he did not have when he first came into the league. less than 20 away. third quarter, another pull-up three, single digits, eight points from history. later in the third, anthony davis diving into the stands keep this play alive area lebron ends up with the ball at the other end. now the moment everybody was waiting for. 10 seconds left, third quarter, the king fade, fire, score. he is the all-time scoring king, 38,383 points. kareem presenting him with game ball, passing the torch. but the lakers lost to okc. here is lebron. >> to beat in the presence of such a legend, it means so much to me, it's very humbling. please give a standing ovation to the captain, please. i would never ever in a million years have dreamt this any

he eclipsed kareem abdul—jabbar for the nba points record by reaching 38,388 career points, just one joined by staff writer at theathleitc.com sabreena merchant, and i asked her if this makes lebronjames the greatest basketball player of all time. i think people who thought michaeljordan was the greatest player of all time haven't changed their opinion much, even after lebron�*s feat of passing kareem abdul—jabbar in becoming the all—time leading scorer in nba history. people who point to jordan or some other player are generally pointing to their record in championships, and even though lebron has the most points in league history, he is still two titles short of michaeljordan. so until he reaches that figure, i think the goat debate is still alive and well. well, i am glad you brought up michaeljordan, because lots of people, you know, with rose—tinted spectacles on, look back at the players they remember. i'm one who grew up watching michaeljordan and there is more to this than just points, isn't there? it is about personality, and how they play on the pitch, and how they interact

tuesday's game. >> fade away, i was thinking he might try to sky hook as an honor to the great kareem abdul-jabbart live on television. king james spoke about getting emotional during this moment. >> i probably can count on my hands how many times i've cried in 20 years, either in happiness or defeat, you know, so, you know, that moment was one of them when i kind of teared up a little bit. it was i can't believe what's going on. >> omar jimenez has more on that moment. have a listen. >> reporter: people came to see history and they witnessed it. lebron james now the all time leading scorer in nba history and he would be the first to admit that he didn't think he would be the one to break what some thought was a previously unbreakable record, but when you look at everything lebron has done over the course of his career, who else would it have been? and the moment came on a tuesday night and when that happened, when he hit a fade away off the left elbow, almost nothing but net, he ran to center court, raised his arms in triumph as an entire arena cheered him on, likely many more watching from home.

. >> kareem abdul-jabbar, they nicknamed him the captain. him pass it over was a significant moment. now they say it lebron's record will never be broken, but that's what they said about kareem. laura: i know that my kids who love basketball and all basketball fans around the world are asking, what is next for lebron? he wants to play with his son? >> he has been in the league for 20 years and is still one of the top performers who average is around 30 points per game. just like tom brady in the nfl, many people are asking, how long can lebron james keep going? his son is 18, and lebron has made a secret that he wants to remain in the league long enough to play with his son. lots of people say he is one of the most durable athletes of all time. i think what this record does do is cement his place and the quickest way to start anna mark -- an argument between americans is to ask who is greater, michael jordan or lebron james, and just watch the fireworks. laura: before we go tonht, king charles will appear on brand-new stamps in britain for t

what he has done is past fellow laker legend kareem abdul-jabbar. and it is in tonight's game! cnn's omar jimenez is in the crypto.com arena. he is joining us by phone. omar, tell us what that moment was like? >> honestly, watching the aftermath of that moment right now is incredibly surreal, anybody here in the arena was on their feet waiting. baiting their breath for anticipation of the shot going in. one of the signature fadeaway shots in the left elbow. and he absolutely drained it. that performance, hands up in the air. his entire family, his close friends cheering them on. they are now on the court celebrating, and some of them look, i should say, very emotional at this moment. it's a moment that people thought would it be broken. 30 games, and thousand career points at the highest level of basketball over the course of an and b.a. career, that's been 20 years for lebron james and now he stands at center court as fans chant mvp. he plays a bunch of blood is essentially him collecting over his career, and it could not be a more proud moment. fo
