LeBron James continues to prove why he deserves his place among the Titans of the NBA’s very own Tartarus. While his magnanimous record of four NBA championships, four NBA MVP awards, four NBA Finals MVP awards, and three All-Star MVP awards, rightfully earned him the moniker, ‘King James’. There was one pursuit that he has been passionately pursuing, to beat Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time scoring record. He recently did just that and rewrote history by breaking Abdul-Jabbar’s history. The world of sports erupted in amazement at his accomplishment. And boxing was not far too behind, with notable names like Manny Pacquiao and Terence Crawford taking to social media to congratulate him on the same.
