In celebration of LeBron James’ historic achievement as the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, the Los Angeles Lakers and the NBA presented the star player with a dazzling gold, diamond-encrusted chain. Eliantte, a renowned high-end jeweler, crafted a unique piece featuring an iced-out pendant to commemorate this significant milestone in James’ illustrious career.
The exquisite pendant, adorned with diamonds, takes the form of a substantial lion’s head wearing the iconic Nike “crown” logo found on all of LeBron James’ signature shoes. Adding a touch of personal history, the back of the pendant narrates key moments in James’ NBA journey, highlighting his impactful stints with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and the Los Angeles Lakers.
This lavish gift from the Lakers and the NBA symbolizes LeBron James surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the all-time leading scorer in NBA history. Breaking Abdul-Jabbar’s 34-year-standing record on February 7 during a remarkable game against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Los Angeles, James needed to score 36 points to eclipse the previous mark of 38,387 points set in 1989.
The 38-year-old LeBron achieved this milestone with a signature fadeaway shot, marking a historic moment in the third quarter with 11:09 remaining. Despite the eventual loss to OKC with a score of 133–130, James concluded the game with an impressive stat line of 38 points, seven rebounds, and three assists. Taking to his Instagram story, LeBron James expressed gratitude to Eliantte and the Lakers for this exquisite token of recognition.
