LeBron James entered the league with tremendously high expectations. In Year 20, he stands alone at the top and continues to 'keep setting the bar high.'  

The Los Angeles Lakers forward became the NBA's all-time leading scorer, surpassing Kareem Adbul-Jabbar's record. A record that stood for 39 years now belongs to 'The King' and he'll hold that record for many, many, many years to come. 

Shortly after James broke the record, countless of former and current players took to social media to react to the game's greatest record being broken. One of those reactions was Kevin Durant.

The Nets released a short video on their social media channels of their cornerstone, who is currently No. 14 (35,912) on the NBA's all-time scoring list, congratulating the new NBA's all-time leading scorer. 

"L, congrats on being the all-time leading scorer in NBA history," said Durant in the video. "It's even funny to just even say that. You know, coming from where you come from, how hard you grind for this long, it's been an inspiration since Day 1. Much love and keep setting the bar high."

Durant was just one of a handful of Nets to congratulate James on social media ... 

"Wowww that's greatness fashoo," veteran wing Royce O'Neale posted. 

"All-time scoring record is crazy. Witness history," guard Seth Curry said. 

"Woww we really get to witness this," two-way guard David Duke Jr. tweeted. 

There is no secret James has put on plenty of high scoring performances against the Net
