![[FULL] LeBron James addresses the media after become the NBA's all-time leading scorer | NBA on ESPN](/img/n.gif)
From one Laker to another Laker to another Laker... And here's to the future Laker who will one day break it again!
Wilt kareem lebron
LeBron just broke Kareem's record a few days ago😀👍👍👍
Victor wenbanyama gonna be a laker soon.
Bill Rusell is singlehandedly carrying this Lakers vs Boston rivalry.
The Lakers have an all-time great in each generation. It's not even close. Laker's talent is evenly spread out.
Yeah either one of LeBron James's sons👍👍👍
This guy came in so chill, my guy Wilt. RIP🙏
If you look at the timeline 1984 was the time Kareem broke the record, Michael Jordan's rookie year and LeBron James was born it's crazy how life works
The year of goats
Yea Kareem sets this record 38 weeks before LeBron was born lebron at 38 yrs old breaks the record on the 38th day of the year scoring 38 pts in the game, sitting on 38,388 a he broke the record, coincidence I'm sure 🙄
So paolo is the next goat and some newborn is gonna break the scoring record in a lakers jersey? Makes sense.
And now it will happen once more. My goat, we've been waiting for a decade for this. It's your moment to be celebrated. Thank you for suiting up, it's been a privilege to have watched so far, many more great memories to have 🐐👑
Kareem is An Absolute Legend Off and On The Court, We should Respect and Honour this man at all cost!
💯
YEAH AND LEBRON WILL NEVER FIGHT BRUCE LEE ... HAHA THINK ABOUT IT ( MAYBE JACKIE CHAN THOUGH )
At all cost you say. He is a great ball player but he is not a God. You worship God not a man.
@@waynejohanson1083 will you just shut up you NPC, I am Muslim so does Kareem, I don't worship a human Being Unlike you
@@Synclon I said God not Jesus. Seems to me you hate Christianity how tolerant of you. I do not hate you, and I never in my post said anything about the Muslim faith, in fact I have many friends who are Muslim. By the way Muslims like Jesus too. He is in the Quran. Yet you come at me with all this hate. I like and respect Kareem too, my point is not to worship people and make idols out of them. So I can be tolerant towards you, maybe you can be tolerant towards me and Jews too.
Out of all the Great Players that have played for us. It is more of an Honor that Wilt actually Played for the Lakers and won the First Championship for LA changing the Culture Completely. Wilt Deserves a Statue in LA
Jerry West & Gail Goodrich deserve credit for that title also.
@@Davivd2 Jerry West already has a statue outside the arena
Jerry is the Logo does he need much more than that??
@@gregorythomassr5485 the NBA doesn't acknowledge that he's the logo so the don't have to pay him royalties
@@melvinhhcp3615 Lakers didn't want a Championship in LA until Wilt joined them, that's the fact.
Awesome ceremony!! RIP Chick Hearn and Wilt!!
😔🙏🏽
David Stern. Dr. Buss. 😔🙏
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Can never top Wilt 🐐 Greatest scorer and player ever!
100 points; game 50: 44; points average; 55 rebounding:: etc etc wilt unbreakable
How many coaches did he get fired? Nobody will ever catch that record.
Wilt is one of my all time faves and both were legends, celtic fan. RIP wilt
Kareem is a legend
I grew up in japan & i only knew Kareem from the Bruce Lee movie
When i moved to Los Angeles in the 70's Kareem represented entire city of Angeles 🥵
Wow, I hadn't seen this before. Thank you so much for posting this 💜💛
We as a fanbase are so blessed for having so many legends in our history OMG
Capt. Skyhook, Chick, Magic, and Wilt the Stilt bka the Big Dipper... legendary.
Crazy to think about that Kareem got to play with arguably 2 of the very best Point Guards the game has ever seen in Oscar Robertson and Magic.
If you ask both of those guys they will tell you they got a few assists passing the ball to Kareem and watching him skyhook teams to death. He made their jobs easier.
It was good to see Oscar get a chance to finally contend for a championship when the Royals traded him. With Kareem in the middle Robertson though in the twilight of his career was just the type of heady floor general the Bucks needed.
Basically someone who could get the ball to Kareem so he could go to work in the paint. Jabbar and Oscsr worked well together. Kareem carried the load, Oscar provided a second option.
What a great legend on the Lakers
It just hit me...Lebron is about to stand amongst them..WILD!!!!!!!!!
Here's to you Captain 👏🏾🖤💜💛
Kareem is GOAT!!! All got love for Cap 💜💛🐐
I looked at the NBA record book sorry Wilt destroys everyone.
@@erics9754 nah sorry nice try… Kareem is the all time leading scorer, 6 Championships & has probably the most unstoppable move in NBA history
What a heartfelt speech from Wilt 🤣 I could taste the salt from here lol
Same than Kareem with LeBum.
@@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212 naaah Kareem turned up for the game and said more than a sentence and was gracious
@Slipstreamz I agree it's over he can chill out without the press intrusion
@Slipstreamz Kareem Abdul jabber career scoring record seem unbreakable;; LeBron James scoring seems more unbreakable;; no college basketball; fountain of youth pills
Thanks for posting, Kareem such a humble man😊
Thanks you for posting this! Go Lakers!
Crazy to think that this record was never going to be broken 💔 and yet we got to witness lebron James shatter this record just recently.. hopefully, we will get to see the future generation of players break milestone records like these for years to come👍
What a legend, read about Kareem, you guys should study his background.
RIP to Chick and Wilt.
Chick Hearn the 🐐
What a Great ceremony by a great player!
This is absolutely incredible. So glad you guys shared this. Amazing
11:05 "Honey... You're not so bad yourself" 🔥
Different times for sure.
Things come full circle
It's funny how Wilt looks younger than Kareem lmao
Fr
Chick Hearn, you are truly missed.
Legend 🙏
One of the best player.
The highest respect a cat from nyc can earn shout out to Lefrak City aka iraq!! Qboro, NY (where Kareem is from) mannnn this is legendary stuff ....the way it was achieved was 0%selfless it was done in the right way .... his speech was like the most humblest thing ever ...danng ilove this game
I love how the fans booed Ronald Reagan.. This dude was something else..
wow this video is amazing. really great to see Kareem, Wilt, Stern and Chick
R.I.P wilt chamberin he is still in the record book for 100 points
Edit:wow finally got comments for the first time
And 95 more unbroken records.
against way smaller construction workers
@@krioni86sa cry
@@krioni86sa Average height in WIlt's time was only an inch shorter than today's and they were measured barefoot back then. Plus being a construction worker is harder than being an IG model or Twitter troll like today's players are.
@@eternalbossdoomsday
Exactly
Awesome painting by Leroy Niewman and historic tribute!
Likely the two greatest players ever. In this case there are twin GOATS. Wilt and Kareem.
Kareem,Wilt,Lebron
They all played as a Laker.
Kareem lived a dream, but LBJ is on his way to capture that very same day of Greatness! Keep raising the bar even higher for the future generations!💪
He would've raised the bar if 1. He had 6 championships, 2. 5 MVPS, 3. Didn't stat pad in games where his teams were well ahead or far behind . 4 actually played in an era defense was more of a priority to stop the best players. If Jordan played in this Era and not the Era of the bad boy Pistons and Boston Celtic great front court the record would be his by a mile.
@@imperiousrex1873 Kareem had 6 MVPs which is more than your hero Jordan's 5.
@Eternal Boss Doomsday Yeah idiot I know that I'm a Lifetime Laker fan dolt. I actually saw Kareem win championships unlike you who didn't even see a Jordan to judge how great he was.
@@imperiousrex1873 You are making a lot of assumptions based off of nothing but your own mental and emotional instability. Judging by your childish response I'd bet I am older than you and saw more than you. You can keep crying if it makes you feel better about Kareem having more MVPs than Jordan though.
@Eternal Boss Doomsday What am I crying about, boy? You make no sense. I'm not crying about anything, just taking my beliefs just like you are. Did you see Kareem at the peak of winning his Finals MVP awards? I have
38K with little to no 3s is very impressive
if i remember right he made 1 out 18 threes he ever attempted
in LeBron's case I don't mind the three pointers because he was hitting threes at an alright percentage even before the NBA went super soft around 2016 and disallowed defense which lead to guys being able to spam threes unrestricted. If some guy comes along who makes a 20 year career out of spamming threes and averaging 30+ ppg against non-existent defense that's a different story.
With the current rules I'm sure some guy like that will come along, maybe he's some 7 footer with an amazing shooting ability, who can capitalize off both his height giving automatic free looks and the lack of defense being allowed to breath on him
No threes. And being a center, his teammates had to feed him the ball. And he still has the highest FGM to this day.
Lmao the booing at the mention of Reagan
David Stern was already getting booed by Laker fans in 1984😂😂😂😂😂(Rest In Peace tho)
And Reagan 😂
And the Governor😉
The most amazing part of LeBron breaking this record is how he’s doing it while simultaneously breaking assist records.
LeBron needs 16 assists to be #4 All-time in Career Assists behind only Stockton, Kidd and CP3.
One of the NBA’s greatest scorers will go down in history as one of the greatest passers.
Assist kicking the ball out to wide open 3 point shooter is overrated as an assist but Lebron is an above average passer nevertheless.
Magic 🏀👍🇺🇸
But he isn't the best scorer and neither is the best passer, others have been better than him.
Too ball dominant, the only way to accomplish that is to have the offense hinge off of you, and that's not how the game is supposed to be played, their were others athletic enough to complete this feat but they treated basketball as a 5 man per team sport not a one hinge and four cornered 🚪 sport
@@MelodicAssymetry445thank you. You nailed it. It's an accomplishment because he stayed in good physical condition and stayed determined mentally. Discipline uncommon.
As you stated not every player needs to control the ball as much. Kareem could have scored many more points through the early mid 80s but he was a different league.
The Kareem was the half court offense but they had other weapons as well. Winning the championship always came first for Abdul-Jabbar. From UCLA on...team first
No “3” point line in sight. Count how many “2” point shots it took to get to that record.
Wilt looks he was working out and got a phone call to be at that game.
Wilt shows up with the tank top, and he's not in the game...classic 😎
Imagine Wilt with his built and athleticism in the Modern Era! 🤯
He would be on the bench. Small ball era.
@@fantasysportsanalysistfsa8938 tell that to Giannis
@@fantasysportsanalysistfsa8938 you’re delusional, wilt would still dominate
@@pkboolean Not in the era of super athletes. He played in a time when the league was 75% white. There were only 5, 7-footers in the whole league. A bunch of flabby guys with full-time jobs because basketball was not paying enough money. In this era, all they do is train, work out, and have the best facilities. Also, the NBA has the best players from around the world like Luka, Jokic, Dirk, and Giannis. Wilt played only against the best America had to offer at that time. He's not scoring a 100pts in this era with 40rebs, and 10 blocks. Sorry, but it's not happening. You are the delusional one.
@@fantasysportsanalysistfsa8938 he doesn’t need to score 100 points to be considered dominating. He was basically a bigger Greek freak and he would be averaging similar numbers
Man Kareem is so blessed to break the record and get passed by the record from two amazing physical specimens: Bron and Wilt
Wilt at his advanced age on this video looks like he can take Kareem to the paint and have a 50pt and 30rb game on him
He was like 60 pounds heavier than kareeem
@@TheGOAT-dr1sq Lucky for Kareem he was able to duck prime Wilt. Kareem never met any Mt Rushmore center prime for prime
Kareem either saw people like Wilt when they were near retirement or he saw Hakeem, Ewing, D Rob when they were NBA babies. Kareem is definitely overrated as hell
@@kingkoopa2831 That's funny. No center came even close to facing the quality of big men Abdul-jabbar routinely dominated. He scored 50 points on Wilt Chamberlain right there at the Forum in 1972. Who else was doing that? Kareem put 48 on prime Bill Walton. In 1986 he had game of 43 points and 46 points on Akeem Olajawon. Oh if he was preprime than so was Abdul-jabbar in the early 70s when he outplayed Chamberlain. What center faced a list of centers better than Kareem?
Wilt Chamberlain, Nate Thurmond, Bob Lanier, Willis Reed, Artis Gilmore, Moses Malone, Elvin Hayes, Bill Walton, Walt Bellamy, Wes Unseld, Hakeem Olajawon, Patrick Ewing, Ralph Sampson, Dan Issel, Bob McAdoo.
No need to knock these guys every name on there is a Hall of Famer. It's Chamberlain who had questionable competition if anyone did. Russell was 6-9 220lbs. Other than Thurmond and Bellamy who did Wilt see in his prime.
Kareem would have given him problems at his best and vice versa. They were both great. Next time be serious please
@@smokeyjoe795 Man stop. Kareem faced old Wilt who retired 3 years after Kareem was drafted. prime Wilt would have destroyed Kareem and he faced Hakeem and Ewing when they were little NBA babies. Kareem didn’t play any Mt Rushmore center prime for prime. Naming Nate Thurmond averaged a career 15ppg, Artis Gilmore 17ppg, Walt Bellamy was also past his prime when Kareem was drafted. Next time you be serious. Kareem didn’t play ANY Mt Rushmore center prime for prime
Won 1 title in the 70s before Magic carried him
@@kingkoopa2831 You seem bitter that Kareem torched Wilt in head to head match-ups. Is it Kareem fault that Chamberlain was older? Should Kareem not have scored 50 on him? It's competition.
The fact that Jabbar dominated Chamberlain in his older years doesn't make him greater than Wilt.
They played different styles and different eras. The NBA Chamberlain entered was primitive compared to what Alcindor had to deal with.
Jabbar never shrunk from the pressure of the playoffs. He wasnr scared to go to the foul line in the clutch. He delivered well past his prime. Finals MVP at age 38. No excuses necessary Wilt saw it.
All this is probably over your head. Clutch? What's that?
Crazy how life works out
Scoring over 30k is impressive, but Wilt and the captain did it with one combined 3 pointer between them.
Oh my goat! You can reach 50000points. Put in some work LBJ!!!👊👊👊
possible, we're asking him to play another 10 years though lol. I'm looking at his career season totals, in his prime younger days he used to score about 2000 points per season due to him playing more games.
During his Lakers career where he plays less games due to load management, he's averaging about 1500 or less per season. So if he were to stay at his current pace right now that's another 8 years or so to hit 50K.
Would be amazing to see it happen though, it would put his record at such a high mark
50 years from now, someone else is going to break Lebron's record and probably again in a Lakers uniform, lol
3:19 a lot of boos there for the young commissioner.
Gotta love the boos for the politicians 🤣🤣🤣
Funniest part was was the difference between announcing the president, governor, and then the mayor
Democratic crowd. Reagan and Duekmagin were Republicans. Bradley was Democrat.
لحظات عظيمة وتواضع النجوم فيها شيء مميز
The evolution of basketball. I can see Curry arriving top 5 with the 3 point requirement He, Klay, and Kerr implemented.
This is how it should be celebrated aftr or before a game. Not during a game were you are trailing/ losing in front of your home crowd!
Yesssssss😅
Wilt like …” where’s my ring?”
Nice to see cap smile
Did they just give him a picture of a ring instead of a ring? 😆
The ring would come later, but I get where your coming from.
Laker royalty on the court. miss you chick. Lakers games were never the same after you left us
It is amazing that the year that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar broke the record is the same year Lebron James was born. So does that mean that the person who will break Lebron 's record is being born this year?
Man You got to love Wilt's style with black and gold.
Wilt looks younger and more imposing than Kareem in this video despite being retired for more than a decade 😳. And people say he simply played easy competition.
Wilt in his prime was fast as John Wall and had a higher vert than MJ…. And he benched 600 pounds
Wilt was a beast!!!!
People are stupid. Just look around at these sheeple.
Now he knows how wilt felt that day!!!!!!
Wilt would have been #1 if he hadn't stopped scoring in the middle of his career.
Crazy part is if the NBA kept blocks as an official record during the entirety of Wilt's career he would have been the all time leader in blocked shots by a mile.
@@kingkoopa2831 That's right!
@@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212 💩💩💩
@@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212 That's true remember though Kareem could have scored alot more as well in his later years if he had been on a weaker team. The Lakers were contending for championship so personal stats take a backseat.
Lebron just broke the record! Against the OKC Thunder! February 07, 2023. I am the first to announce it!
11:08 lmaooo "you're not so bad yourself" on the mic in front of all these people and on tv? the 80's were a wild and glorious time. That would be title IX'd so fast nowadays and it's not even bad
It's a Lakers thing. Wilt had the record. Then Kareem broke his record. Now Lebron broke Kareems record..
Kareem was great, but Bron is coming for him 👑👑
Bron smashed the record yesterday
Kareem 👍🏀🇺🇸
Kareem is still better than LeFraud though.
LeBron got twice as many turnovers as Kareem as well. Just sayin. Basketball is a complicated game in a sense. Different positions, different teammates, different eras.
I think Kareem wanted his teammates to be able to make plays so that they could be championship caliber. If Jabbar at age 35+ could have probably scored 30 a game but if he had to do that he understood the Lakers wouldn't win in June.
1 man shows weren't producing Rings in the NBA s greatest decade the 80s.
The top two centers Wilt and then Kareem. I wouldn't say Russell was third, and not by much. No other centers today could come close.
hopefully the lakers can do a better gift for lebron than a stereo
Woooow let’s go Kareem
LEBRON JUST BROKE THIS RECORD LAST WEEK
Let’s go wilt
Miss you chick. RIP
💯✊🏾👑
8/24
We love you, Cap! And don't call him Shirley! ✈ 💜💛🏀💛💜 🤍 💙💛🐻💛💙
Wilt got real dressed up😅
Cap is the greatest basketball player of all time. High school, college, NBA. MJ may be the greatest NBA player but Kareem is the greatest basketballer of all time
6:08 Lmao they boo'd Ronald Reagan he was truly trump before trump
Chick 🕊, Dipper 🕊, Cap 🐐. Absolute Lakers LEGENDS!! I hope its a home game when Lebron breaks this record. LOL at Wilt stylin in a black wife beater and some gold. Wilt was 1 of 1 man.
Lebron the New All time Scoring Leader
Just to clarify Wilt chamberlain NBA record - Fewest games played to reach 20,000 points (499, achieved in 1966)
That's just over six seasons to achieve this achievement, if you consider that Wilt routinely made a occasional 40 or 50 points to shut up sports broadcasters because they said he was no longer able to score offensively compared to his early years!
Wilt changed his game not to (stat pad) as people wrongly claimed but to overthrow the celtics dynasty and win some titles!
If Wilt had scored at that same rate for his 13 plus years, that's over 40,000 points?
If he had went back into the nba and played until he was 50 he would have easily set a stat that no one could have matched? 50,000 even 60,000 offensive points?
Wilt was so dominant that it makes him untouchable in the game of basketball, and as a result, it makes him not count.
Wilt did have a beef with Kareem because he believed rightly that Kareem had more to give both offensively and more importantly in a area that Wilt excelled in defence?
Yeah Wilt only spent half of his career as his team's lead shot taker and then he accepted a different role. Before he accepted the new role he was averaging 40 pts per game in season and 33 in the playoffs.
Kareem played the game on a higher mental level than Wilt. Abdul-Jabbar played for John Wooden. He understood that he could score 50 pts at will but that is not the best way to win as a team.
Wilt's ego could never allow him to see Kareem never cared to take every shot so he could achieve personal glory at the expense of team balance.
Abdul-Jabbar was able to balance being the #1 option scoring while also keeping his teammates involved. He knew the double team was coming, find the open man.
Wilt was jealous of Kareem plain and simple. Who had more to give? I don't know. Too late to ask any one of the coaches Chamberlain got fired after feuding with them. Or asking to come out of the game in game 7 of the Finals.
Jabbar MVP of the finals at 38 years old. At 41 years old in 1988 Chamberlain was in attendance but he left early that day and missed Kareem sinking the game winming free throws to keep the series alive.
You wouldnt pass the ball to Wilt with the game on the line. That's OK because he didn't want the ball. Jerry West was the heart of that team.
@@eternalbossdoomsdaySo it took him 7 years to finally accept that basketball is a team game? Better late than never. Jabbar was the #1 option for his teams as well for over 17 years. He had the same pressure to produce that Wilt had but Jabbar handled the pressure rather than running away from it. There were playoff games Chamberlain hardly looked at the basket. He couldn't be trusted to hit free throws. All told despite playing with so many Hall of Fame teammates Wilt only won 2 championships.
Wilt looks like he could still play.
Kareem will shake Lebrons hand and pay his respects maybe even apologize, 100% guaranteed
Two out of three. Not bad.
Kareem is a classic act all the way.

That was at the Great Western Forum, now the Lakers play in a much bigger arena.
