What a special moment. I was telling my friend that it’s surreal that 20+ years ago I watched his first game as a little kid, and now here he goes breaking the all time scoring record. What a career
Frazzed
I agree, go ~~Cavs~~ Bron

I’m a LeBron fan from Brooklyn, and if not because of him I wouldn’t know the city of Cleveland and now have friends from Ohio. Back in 2017 while I was choosing my next contract work, a startup from Cleveland caught my eye, not because of the company nor compensations but the chance to watch LeBron play week in and out. I took the job, spent 6 months living in Cleveland, made tons of friends there and the city really grew on me. I went back a few times since to visit friends. Nowadays I really only watch Nets and Lakers games, but if I have a third team, it would be the Cavs. Because of LeBron the city of Cleveland means something special to me. Congrats to LeBron, hope he retires as a Cavs.
Edit: I carry a Browns pin a friend gave me on my backpack til these days, I dont even watch football, but its a promise to my friend to always carry it.

They were right. The hype was real. The kid from Akron has taken the crown. He truly is the King.
And the best part is, we really were all witnesses. For anyone around my age (33) or older, we watched his high school games on local tv. We watched the night the ping pong ball fell for the Cavs. We watched as the GOAT brought us to countless deep playoff runs, 5 finals, and the one thing no one has done in 52 years for the city: a Championship.
The NBAs all time leading scorer and GOAT is an Ohioan who played the majority of his illustrious career with Cleveland. It’s almost hard to believe, yet we all saw it for ourselves. We are truly lucky.

The all-time leading scorer and the all-time greatest shooter both from Akron.

Shout out to the rest of ya’ll that also went to high schools that play St. V’s in sports each year. My buddy’s cousin guarded him in both football and basketball it went as poorly as you’d imagine. Congrats to the King!

Everyone remembers the countless legendary moments LeBron had in the playoffs in the spotlight, but for me it’s also fun to think about how many of those points were scored on random winter weekdays in Northeast Ohio on local TV

Greatest player of all time.

The other worldly skill, the longevity, the elevation of everyone around him. He is the greatest to ever play the game.

Recognizing all the “well that’s just because” caveats to this statement: just over half of his career was on the Cavs and he scored more in that uniform than Larry Bird and Clyde Drexler did their entire careers, and is neck and neck with others like AI, Barkley, Elgin, and DWade. Mind boggling stuff

Would have been nice for him to shout out Cleveland fans or at least Akron in his speech. Oh well. Congrats Lebron!

How did he outperform expectations man? How???
Such an inspiring beast. To think he did this and grew into he is today…with virtually no father figure in this life. It’s inspiring AF.
