Watch the moment LeBron James made history
It has been coming for some time and the LA Lakers superstar was not going to disappoint with the world watching.


38,388. That was the magic number and on Tuesday night against the Thunder, as LA Lakers’ LeBron James hit a two-point jumper to attain it. The record was his. There were plenty of celebrities in the house to see the moment -- including the man whose record had just been surpassed -- and the video of the clinching basket will live long in the memory.

LeBron breaks all-time scoring record
You’ll see it from all angles as people share it on social media, but here’s a fabulous split screen of Bronny and Bryce, two of LeBron’s kids, capturing it for themselves. Just pity the camera person who was focused on them rather than the pivotal move itself!
