LeBron James continues to climb the NBA's all-time lists in many categories, and he surpassed a Lakers great in one department on Wednesday.

Asked after the game if he had a chance to or would try to acknowledge the NFL stars in attendance, big-time football fan LeBron James said he definitely would before reiterating how "King Henry is my favorite player in the National Football League." (Chiefs fans, don't fret; he also called Mahomes "the best player in football.”)

Going into the game, James was tied with Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the 2nd-most games played in NBA history with 1,560. Following an emotional tribute video for Doncic, the game tipped off, giving James 1,561 career games.
