"Alex! Congratulations man on being the NHL's all-time leading goal scorer, man, it's an unbelievable accomplishment. I know when reaching any type of goal, or any type of feat, it takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and sacrifice and you're a byproduct of that. So, I just want to say from one guy to the next -- super grateful to have witnessed some of your greatest moments, witness this great moment, and it couldn't happen to a better guy, man, to "The Great 8". Congratulations, well deserved, and salute to you, brother."
What an incredible tribute by LeBron James.
Currently, LeBron James leads the NBA with over 42k points.
LeBron broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time scoring record on Feb. 7, 2023 after the mark stood for 39 years. Not in the NBA Playoffs - LeBron broke Michael Jordan's all-time playoff scoring record on May 25, 2017 after the mark stood for 19 years
I think it's safe to say that when someone like LeBron James sends you a message like that, you're officially considered one of the greatest to ever do it.
