He spoke togermanhoops.com about Lebron James becoming the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.

Lebron James has beaten Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s NBA all-time scoring record. Did you stay up to watch history?

Yes of course I had to watch it. I was super tired for practice the next day lol but that’s okay.

How does one put this record into perspective best? It stood almost 40 years?

It solidifies him in my opinion as the best overall player in NBA. GOAT!

He scored 38 points in 26 minutes. Was it another normal day at the office?

Yes the game is easy for Lebron I don’t see him slowing down he is that special.

How much is that ball going to be worth?

I believe 5 million or more for sure.

Russell Westbrook made the pass. Do you think that in 20 years the pass could be remembered more than his triple doubles?

No I think his triple doubles is more memorable for him personally.

His record breaking basket was a step back over Kenrich Williams. Is that the kind of shot you expected knowing the kind of player he is? Or would you have expected a dunk for the spectacular finish?

You can’t really plan that out. So I didn’t expect anything crazy. The shot he made was his signature shot so it’s good.

There obviously is a lot of respect for Kareem, by the basketball world, but what would have happened on social media if Lebron had gotten the record with a sky hook shot?

It would have been a memorable moment but the game as moved past this type of shot which I don’t know why but it just has.

Kareem is such a gentleman. You didn’t grow up with him, but what does his legacy mean to younger guys? Can they even understand what that guy did?

Him alongside others did many things off the court that impacted the African American community and we are grateful there were those kind of leaders who stepped up outside of there own world to help others in this ugly world we live in today.

Lebron will have more than 40,000 points when it’s all over. Back in 1984 people said it would never be broken? Will this record be broken?

I don’t think so rumors are that the league game will be shorter you need those games plus health and longevity is important. So no I think that’s it.

If Luka Doncic continues to play to 40 stays fit and becomes a physical specimen like Lebron, could he dethrone him?

I don’t think Luka is motivated like Lebron is in that regard to be great like him. So no I don’t think so.

Does this record finally give Lebron the GOAT status over Michael Jordan?

My opinion Yes

What is your favorite Lebron moment that you witnessed live or on TV?

Winning a championship in our laker uniform. During Covid!!

Thanks Julian for the chat.
