Just a special moment: LeBron James after achieving milestone of 30000 career points
The 40-year-old LeBron James has now over 40000 career points to his name in the NBA. He is known for being a scorer in all facets --rebounding, assisting, defending, getting some blocked shots. "Just a special moment," James said after being the seventh youngest player to score 30000 NBA career points as quoted in NPR.
"I just started thinking about everything. My journey from being a kid who first picked up a basketball when I was 5 years old to playing organized basketball when I was 9 all the way up to this point,” LeBron James added.
"I give a lot of thanks to a lot of people. This is a special moment. It's something I never set out to do. I'm not even a score-first guy when it comes to playing basketball. I love getting my teammates involved and seeing my teammates be excited about scoring and me getting the assist and things of that nature,” he continued.
