CSKA defender Casper Weir told how he played with james lebron and also noted that he considers his NBA goalscoring record a very big event.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s career record and took the No. 1 spot in NBA history. In the regular season game with Oklahoma, LeBron was expected to score 36 points. At the end of the third quarter, the 38-year-old managed to rewrite the record.
– How big of an event for you is LeBron James’ record?
“Very big,” Ware told . – Think about it: if you take all the basketball players in the world of all time, he is the one who has scored the most points! Incredible achievement. You have to remember how much he cared about his health, how much effort he put in. I’ve followed LeBron all these years, I’ve seen the work he does. And now I watched this match live. I had to sacrifice sleep, but I still wanted to see the feat live, the fan reaction, its family celebration. These are special experiences.
– Interestingly, nobody cared about the end of the game. The Lakers lost.
– (Laughs). Yes, I also think it’s funny. I was wondering if this would ruin the holiday? But no. The realization was too cool to think about anything else. Look, they stopped the game after scoring a record goal to celebrate.
– You know LeBron well personally. Are you happy for your friend?
– Just happy. I haven’t texted him, but I can tell he’s a great guy. When you meet him, hang out together, you start to understand why everyone wants to play with LeBron. He’s smart, funny and not at all pompous. Meets you: “Oh! Hello! How are you?”. It’s like he’s just a normal person on the street. Not all people with his status behave so simply. So I can say that it was an honor for me to play with him on the same team, and twice (last summer in the semi-amateur “Drew League” with the participation of NBA players. – Approx. “TV Match”). Yes, just meeting and talking was already cool.
James now has 38,390 NBA regular season points, surpassing Abdul-Jabbar’s record, which stood for nearly 40 years.
Abdul-Jabbar officially retired in 1989 with 38,387 points.
