President Joe Biden has congratulated LeBron James on breaking the NBA's all-time scoring record, shortly after having wrapped up his own victory speech at the State of the Union address on Tuesday night.
'LeBron congratulations! With your whole heart and soul, you broke a hallowed record,' No. 46 said in a personalized message to the LA Lakers superstar after he scored 38 points against the Oklahoma City Thunder to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record of 38,387 points.
'You elevated the game and more than that like Kareem and Bill Russell and others who came before you. You challenged and inspired a nation to do better, do better and live up to our full promise.
'So keep it going man. Keep the faith and congratulations to you and your wonderful family - your mom, Gloria, your wife, Savannah, and your beautiful children Bronny, Bryce and Zhuri. God bless you all.'
James relived the immortal moment he put up a 14-foot fadeaway jumper to break the record - his 38th point of the game - after Tuesday night's contest in the Lakers locker room with 18-year-old son, Bronny.
