Seeing LeBron James become the top scorer of all time will certainly become a piece of basketball history. And doing it in a pair of hot pink LeBron 20 kicks made it extra special for all the sneaker geeks like us! So, what should you know about the king’s legacy? And will this epic milestone finally settle the never-ending GOAT debate? Let’s find out together and take a look at some of his cool sneaker moments throughout his NBA career.
It was only a matter of time before we saw LeBron James writing more NBA history. It’s true, the Los Angeles Lakers might have lost the game against Oklahoma City Thunder (130-133). But we can safely say that LeBron stole their thunder. In fact, it was a night to remember for all LeBron and basketball fans, whether the Lakers won or lost! You see, with 10.9 seconds left in the third quarter, LeBron scored his 36th point in the game.
By doing that, James overtook Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record of 38,387 points. And now, at 38,390 points in total, LeBron James is the top scorer of all time in the history of the NBA! It’s worth noting that James passed Kobe Bryant’s score just three years ago. So, as a result, the top 5 standings became:
Now that we did the whole sports recap, let’s talk sneakers. From his tunnel fit, everyone knew that LeBron meant business last night. And when he went into the basketball court, he had an eye-catching pair of the new LeBron 20 kicks! So the name is obviously because this is the 20th silhouette that also marks James’ 20th year in the NBA. But the colorway we saw was a show-stopper worthy of a history-making moment!
This special LeBron 20 features an all-pink upper and soles, but beauty is always in the details! So, if we look closely, the first subtle hot pink swoosh features some Virgil Abloh-esque stitching. Meanwhile, the second swoosh stands out in silver! Finally, the sneakers wouldn’t be PEs without a message from the king. And these babies had this written over them: “The Man In The Arena”, “The Kid From Akron”, and “Stay Present”
Well, since this colorway now has an association with a historic basketball moment, maybe! There’s a possibility of Nike dropping the kicks as a special edition colorway. In other words, they’re gonna be hard as heck to get! And if this pair drops, then you’ll certainly need a sneaker bot to catch it. Because what’s cooler than having a piece of history with you? In the meantime, you should get the right sneaker bot and start practicing!
