NBA 2K also posted a video with voiceover from previous record-holder Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The Lakers player had held the record since April 5, 1984, which he notes in the video is the year LeBron was born. Abdul-Jabbar held the record of 38,387 points for almost 40 years, a record which some believed would never be broken.
