Look: Bronny James, Bryce James congratulate dad LeBron James for breaking NBA's all-time scoring record

The Lakers scored 38 points to pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 38,387 career points, a scoring record that stood since 1984

Shortly after LeBron James broke the NBA's all-time scoring record Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Lakers released video tribute starring James' family.

Savannah James, his wife, and their three kids Bronny James (18), Bryce James (15), and Zhuri James (eight) recorded tribute videos for LeBron James, who passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 38,387 career points to become the league's all-time leading scorer. Abdul-Jabbar's record stood since 1984, months before LeBron James was born. 

"Congratulations Dad," the 18-year old Sierra Canyon senior said. "Proud of you for all the work you've done and I love you so much, congratulations."

Added Bryce James, a freshman at Sierra Canyon: "Congratulations, Dad, for passing Kareem in all-time scoring. I'm so proud of you, love you, keep it up."

He needed 36, and netted 38 points in a 133-130 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, breaking the record with a 14-foot jumper with 10.9 seconds left in the third quarter.

The game stopped after the record-breaking shot, and the Lakers played a tribute video, after which James' family took the floor along with Abdul-Jabbar and league commissioner Adam Silver to address the sold out crowd.

LeBron James, 38, has rooted his sons on in-person during Sierra Canyon's 2022-23 season — Bronny and Bryce's only season together. In August, the trio graced the cover of Sports Illustrated with the cover title "The Chosen Sons." Bronny James, an uncommitted 6-foot-3 guard, is a four-star prospect, McDonald's All-American reportedly deciding between Ohio State, USC and Oregon.
