2 Chainz congratulated Lebron James for surpassing Michael Jordan on the NBA’s all-time scoring list by gifting him a chain off his own neck.
The Los Angeles Laker forward moved into fourth place on the all-time scoring list on Wednesday night (March 6) at the Staples Center during a game against the Denver Nuggets.
The three-time NBA Champion and four-time MVP was greeted by Tity Boi as he was walking to the locker room. 2 Chainz removed one of his gold chains and handed it to James.
In the clip, the platinum-selling rapper says, “Appreciate you, thank you for everything and congratulations on this.”
James was recruited as an A&R for 2 Chainz’s most recent album, Rap or Go to the League, which dropped last Friday (March 1). Apple Music ran an exclusive interview about their creative journey and creation of the album.
Members of the NBA community joined 2 Chainz in applauding James’ historic night by flocking to Twitter to congratulate the 15-time NBA All-Star.
Check out a few of their reactions below.
All this drama to take the bronze? He got 2 more to pass before we stroke him like Kraft…That’s where we are nowadays tho…big party for 3rd place. “I passed the 3rd best scorer in history…I’M THE GREATEST!!!”
Big up to the King of this era of basketball!!
LakerNation Crip life Folk!
Explain what your problem is? I can comment on any article I feel like. You must love reading my post. Seems like you should get a life!
Is this the same Lebron James whos gonna miss the playoffs? Jordan will ALWAYS be the GOAT
Food for thought… Jordan has been eliminated in the first round 3x, LeBron never….
“Playoffs”.. mora voice.
Magic is stupid for bringing Le Flop to LA. That dipshit’s got Hollywood on his mind 24/7, is old as shit, slow on the defense, can’t make free throws, is a wanna-be rapper and is not worth the contract they gave him. He robbed the Lakers organization blind! Lol dumb asses should have seen this dude ain’t about basketball anymore. He’s the GOAT of nothing and that’s all.
Impressive but it took Lebron well over 100 matches more to overtake MJ. The same with Kobe. MJ made his scoring record in way less games and shows why he is still no.1 in NBA history.
MJ also shot 1000x more than Lebron to get to this point as well.
I dont get it,either STATS matter or they DON’T. I was a mj fan long before i was a kobe & bron fan but dammit y’all dickriders really jump points in your arguments. When it’s rings I bring up Bill Russell,y’all say MJ’s were more impressive & difficult,when it’s stats & rings i bring up Kareem,y’all say that doesn’t count he was 7’2 & mj was only 6’6″(like thats short) when it’s overall player stats i bring up bron having more ast,rebs,& blks than mj & only 800 or so pts behind BEFORE THIS YEAR STARTED,y’all make up lies that bron had 3 extra years in the league than mj yet played 15 & bron just now playing his 16th. #CommonSenseIsDead #MJAintTheGoat
MJ is the blend between rings and numbers. You also have to look at “per game” when you look at your numbers. You also have to factor in the time with the Wizards when you look at numbers when MJ was already basically done and that brings down his per game stats. Lebron plays in a time where there is no defense and a lot of extra space in the lane so rebounds and assists are easier to come by. Also MJ played like 10 games one year due to injury and also returns from retirement towards the end of another season so officially those count as 2 seasons but he barely played. MJ is the goat, lebron is less selfish but if he were as selfish as MJ he’d probably have more rings. Mentality is also a big factor. Consider this, MJ has the highest pts per game avg and that is at a time when 100 pts by a team was not common in a game, now if you dont get 100 you are super trash. He averaged more than 1/3rd of his team’s points while on the bulls, that’s crazy. Also if you look at the the important advanced stats, he also beats lebron there too. You looked at seasons played but not games, which means you have no idea what you’re talking about already, and thus forced me to type this long ass response. Also, lebron’s taste in music is trash, 2 Chainz album sucked so that knocks him down 10 spots lol
Nobody in the history of basketball controlled a game like MJ. NOBODY.
I almost agree with that statement. Bill russell control the game with defense. If the other teams can’t score, you will win alot of champions. Bill could have scored if he needed to. I don’t think mj’s defense alone would have won any championships. The Bulls needed mj’s scoring and defense to win.
Stockton and Malone…greatest of all time
