“LeBron’s career is one of someone who planned to dominate this game. He came out of high school, he had the size and talent to go straight to the NBA and immediately start making an impact. And this has been going on for over 20 years. You have to give him credit just for the way he planned to last and dominate.”, stated Kareem.
Abdul-Jabbar highlighted the feats that LeBron James achieved for the Lakers and pointed out the reasons why he broke that record in the NBA: “He led three teams to titles. And they didn’t get there because of other players, LeBron got those teams there. It has the essence of what leadership is. He goes out on the court, tries to make things happen and teammates want to go after him because they have this much respect for him and his talent.”.
“I thought my record had every chance of being broken. It just needed to have someone focused on continuously attacking, a night-by-night focused attack on that player. Or having someone like me who racked up a lot of the score. As far as I know, LeBron has one more year with the Lakers. He will increase that record, it will be interesting to see how far he goes.i”, he concluded.
