Nike paid tribute to King James for becoming the NBA's all-time leading scorer with an iconic video.

LeBron James surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the all-time leading scorer in NBA history after scoring his 38,388th point against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the early hours of Wednesday, February 8, 2023.

King James broke a record that stood tall for nearly years, as the 39-year-old continues to blaze the trail as one of the greatest  basketball players of all time, having dominated the game for 20 years.

James has been signed to sportswear giants Nike since he was in high school and has built an incredible relationship with them, releasing some of the most iconic collaborations in history.

The Lakers superstar even has his own team within the organization, a center for innovation named after him, and a lifetime contract with the iconic shoemaker.

The 38-year-old Ohio native has achieved everything he could have in basketball with many expecting to see a few more years of greatness from King James.
