James set the new benchmark in front of his home Los Angeles Lakers fans.

And the four-time NBA champion looked in the zone from the moment he stepped out for warmups.

James sported a set of headphones in his warmup with a custom message.

The 38-year-old is an ambassador for 'Beats'.

And his headphones on Tuesday night had the number 38,388 written on the top.

That number is one more than Abdul-Jabbar's points haul of 38,387 - which LeBron blew past.

James, 38, set the record on Tuesday at Crypto.com Arena, as his Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Abdul-Jabbar, 75, watched on from courtside.

Shortly after scoring his record-setting point, James was congratulated on the court, with NBA boss Adam Silver and Abdul-Jabbar posing for shots as the game was paused.

He was then given the mic, tears in his eyes, thanking his family, friends, and those around him among others for helping him on his journey.

A visibly overwhelmed James ended his speech with: "F**k man, thank you guys."
