It’s official: LeBron James is the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.

The Los Angeles Lakers star passed the mark long held by Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Tuesday night in his team’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. It was a long-awaited moment that featured family, friends and basketball legends (including Abdul-Jabbar himself) in attendance in L.A.

James broke the record with a mid-range jump shot in the third quarter, leading to a stoppage in play to allow time to acknowledge the moment.

But it wasn’t until after the game that James turned to speak to the crowd at Crypto. com Arena and make his first public comments after breaking the record.

James gave a heartful speech to the fans in attendance. But toward the end, he seemed to be at a loss for words, eventually letting an F-bomb slip.

Here is James’ full address to the crowd: “I just want to say thank you to the Laker faithful. You guys are one of a kind. To be able to be in the presence of such a legend and great as Kareem, it means so much to me, it’s very humbling. Please give a standing ovation to the captain, please.

“To my beautiful wife, my daughter, my two boys, my friends, my boys, my family, my mother, all my — man, everybody that’s ever been a part of this run with me the last 20 years — 20-plus years, I just want to say, I thank you so much because I wouldn’t be me without all your help, all your passion, all your sacrifices helped me get to this point. And to the NBA, to Adam Silver, to the late, great David Stern, I thank you guys so much for allowing me to be a part of something I’ve always dreamed about. I would never, ever in a million years dreamt this even better than what it is tonight.

“So, (expletive), man. Thank you, guys.”

James passed Abdul-Jabbar’s mark of 38,387 career points — set in 1989 — and finished the game with 38,388 points.
