LeBron James career scoring leader for the Cav’s at the tender age of 23
LeBron did it in 168 less games than Brad Daugherty.
LeBron James now has 10,414 points.
Oh, and his team won, too.
Cleveland 90 Toronto 83
Coach Mike Brown pointed out LeBron is only 23.
The sellout crowd at Quicken Loans Arena immediately rose to give James a thundering ovation and when Brown called a timeout, the All-Star forward first walked to the bench to receive high-fives and hugs from his teammates.
Then, he walked to the center of the court to acknowledge Cleveland’s fans, who serenaded him with “MVP” chants throughout the evening.
“These fans have watched me go from zero points to 10,000” he said. “They’ve seen me go from a young man to a man now. It’s one of the best experiences I’ve had. To be the all-time leader is something that I never dreamed of. But now that it’s here, it’s an unbelievable feeling.” source
Perhaps Joe Smith said it best.
“It took me 13 years to get 10,000 points,” Cavs forward Joe Smith said. “It goes to show what kind of talent he is. I know he has at least 30,000 more in him.”
Long live the King, LeBron James.
NBA Basketball Fan Question Will LeBron someday get to 30,000 points?
