Watch: LeBron James Celebrates Breaking NBA All-Time Scoring Record at LA After Party
Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James celebrated breaking the NBA's all-time scoring record with teammates, friends, and family during a swanky LA after party.
There was certainly a party inside the arena after James' milestone. The game was momentarily stopped as NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and Abdul-Jabbar himself spoke at halfcourt. The latter gave LeBron a basketball signifying the historic achievement.
Celebrities also celebrated the King's achievement with Usher, Denzel Washington, Floyd Mayweather, Bad Bunny, Jay-Z, and Dwyane Wade among the A-listers in attendance sitting courtside. But that wasn't where the party ended.

Among the notable Lakers players in attendance, Patrick Beverley, Thomas Bryant, and Rui Hachimura were all seen celebrating with the King at The Fleur Room.
Other notable celebrities in attendance were James' agent Rich Paul, his friend and business partner Maverick Carter, singer Kelly Rowland, music executive Jimmy Iovine, singer Brent Faiyaz, actress Karreuche Tran, actor Corey Gamble, and singer Tems. All of them where spotted sipping on LeBron's 1707 tequila that he is an investor in.

Signage showing the record-breaking point total of 38,388 was everywhere at the event, including on a giant cake showing James' wearing a crown and the logs of the three teams he's played for in his career: The Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and Lakers.
Eventually, James and his wife Savannah gave a toast to the crowd, with Savannah crediting her husband for all of his hard work and dedication. James credited Savannah, his mother Gloria, his family, and closest friends for not just the all-time scoring accomplishment, but all of his achievements on and off the court.
If the cake, photos, and videos of James at the party weren't enough, there was even a stuffed goat on display.
James and the Lakers are back in action on Thursday night against the Milwaukee Bucks, but LeBron is listed as out for that game with left ankle soreness.
