LeBron James broke the record for the highest scorer in NBA history, and Anthony Davis’ reaction at the moment of the mark caught the attention of fans
Last Tuesday, the 7th, LeBron James became the highest scorer in NBA history by surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the league scoring record. However, a curious fact called attention at the time of the historic basket of the number 6 of the Los Angeles Lakers: the non-reaction of Anthony Davis.
During the duel against Oklahoma City Thunder, LeBron scored the 38,388th point in the third period at Crypto Arena. While teammates celebrated the veteran’s record, Davies remained sitting on the bench and not showing any celebrations.

The reaction was not very well accepted by the fans, who criticized the player on social networks. Prior to the match, Davis stated that he would treat the match like any other, despite it representing an important moment for LeBron. However, the post-match speech was different.
“He is a big part of this team’s success, my success, a leader in every facet of the game and on the court. He definitely deserved it. He put a lot of effort into this game and I am honored to be a part of it all.” said Anthony Davis, who also commented on the 133-130 loss to OKC:
