LeBron James made history by becoming the all-time leading scorer. He left behind the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Wanting more symbolism behind the record, several people asked The King to best Abdul-Jabbar with the Lakers legend’s signature move: the sky hook. But LeBron had other plans.
“A lot of people have wanted me to skydive to break the record or do one of my signature nails. But my fade-away shot is also a signature move of mine and I was able to pull it off when I saw the ball land in the basket. And that was very nice” said James after the game when asked.
