Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was hurt by LeBron James saying they didn't have a relationship, blames himself for it
Ramona Shelburne: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar admits it hurt when LeBron James said “we don’t have a relationship “ earlier this season. But adds that “LeBron said we don’t have a relationship. He’s right—and for that I blame myself. Not for anything I did, but perhaps for not making more of an effort to reach out to him.”

LeBron James is the greatest basketball player of all time.
I love 90s nostalgia and your narratives as much as the next guy, but King James is the best all-around player ever.

On the season, Jalen Brunson has scored a league-leading 120 points in the clutch.
Over the past five weeks, JB has scored 60 points in the clutch.
LeBron James (51) is the only player in the NBA with more than 35 clutch points during this stretch!!

The pressure probably should’ve suffocated him before he ever had a chance to soar. All that hype. All that weight. All those expectations. LeBron James embraced it all and then, somehow, surpassed every, single one.

Wilt is just behind MJ at 30.07 points per game. You can see the outrageous pace he was on when he was putting up 50 a night for an entire year. Later, he decided he cared more about leading the league in assists and FG%

LeBron James is now atop the NBA’s scoring mountain. But we should not forget or dismiss the man whose record stood for almost 39 years, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He is, in many ways, LeBron’s cultural and on-court touchstone. In @TheAthletic: bit.ly/3XnOlfi – 9:45 AM

LeBron James is the NBA’s all-time scoring leader. What a journey from the first time the world noticed LeBron — Sept. 16, 1994 when the Akron Beacon Journal wrote about a Pee Wee football running back who scored 3 TDs in one game. In 1998, the ABJ noticed him in basketball, too. pic.twitter.com/5wrIToX0Lm – 9:45 AM

What more does LeBron have to do to be considered the greatest of all time? If you list even one answer. You’re just hating and refuse to acknowledge greatness. Because you can’t recognize it when it’s right in front of you. – 1:49 AM

LeBron James surpasses Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s all-time scoring leader with 38,388 points.

When LeBron is 2 pts from the record, I just want him to shoot sky hooks, no matter what. In the post. Sky hook. In the corner. Sky hook. Alone on the break. Sky hook. Even if he’s missing. Just keep launching sky hooks. – 11:47 PM

LeBron walks into that 3, is absolutely feeling it, crowd is electric…
… next possession gets frozen out by Pat Bev, Schroder and AD who sloppily turns it over, leading to an OKC fast break.

If the NBA doesn’t pause this game when LeBron breaks the record — on February 7 between two sub .500 teams — because Mike Muscala hits a 3 to make it a 4-point game on the previous possession, that’s an all-time blunder.

LeBron can legit just score 40 on command in his 20th year lol.
He’s so good, this is just dumb.
Which is why I sincerely think — among many reasons — why he’s actually the greatest scorer in NBA history.
All of the other reasons… 👇👇👇
