Channing Frye, Richard Jefferson Roast LeBron: “Took Him Long Enough”
“He was a huge ball hog, pass the ball.”
LeBron James received an outpouring of congratulations and pats on the back last night as he surpassed Michael Jordan for fourth on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, including a message from the man himself.
James entered Wednesday night’s game against the Denver Nuggets just 12 point shy of tying MJ’s point total of 32,292, and he eclipsed the mark midway through the second quarter.

LeBron finished with a game-high 31 points last night, to go along with seven rebounds and seven assists, but the Nuggets prevailed by the final of 115-99.
For his career, James has now tallied 32,311 points and counting. Next up on the all-time scorer’s list is none other than Lakers lifer Kobe Bryant, who finished his career with 33,643 points.
Congrats to @KingJames of the @Lakers for moving up to 4th on the NBA’s ALL-TIME SCORING list! #LakeShow pic.twitter.com/pydCxEkBCM
