There is a new scoring king in the #nba & his name is #lebronjames with 38,388 points. They stopped the game too for a ceremony.
 #anthonydavis didn’t seem too excited though. I remember #ericshow sitting on the pitcher’s mound during the ceremony for #peterose breaking #tycobb hitting record.  #jalenrose called AD petty and jealous. 
The thing that sticks out to me is the hype that has surrounded Lebron since HS.  He surpassed expectations.  Won rings with three teams.  Still playing at a high level at 38.  And to have his kids there was just awesome.
 #kareemabduljabbar was there and let’s not forget the career he had.  Won at every level.  #powermemorialacademy to @uclambb then six titles with @bucks & @lakers during a 20 year career.  Both set the record in the purple and gold. 
 @morning_blitz had a great stat. LeBron career PPG 27.23 and he broke the scoring record on 2/7/23.  Can’t make this stuff up.

All sports. One podcast. (even hockey)
