LeBron James says 'it's an honor' to pass Karl Malone on career scoring list
on Saturday. Heentered the game needing 20 points to pass Malone, who scored so many of his baskets off assists from John Stockton.
"Just to be part of this league the many years I've been a part of it and being linked to some of the greatest who've ever played this game and guys I've ever watched or studied or read about or aspired to be like ... I'm just always lost for words for it," James said."It's an honor for myself, for my hometown, for my family and friends to be able to live these moments throughout this journey. And that's exactly who I do it for.".
He added:"So I hope to accomplish that at some point in my career, but I won't think about it too much pretty much until we get there hopefully."
