James reflected on passing Boston Celtics legend Robert Parish after the Lakers picked up the win in Philadelphia.

“Listen, it’s just super humbling for sure, bro, to be able to be in this position to play the game that I love and still be able to do it at a high level. 

“And you always get mentioned, obviously, I didn’t get an opportunity to see Robert Parish in the height of his game, he was in the 80s. 

“I did see late when he was with the Bulls, but I mean, you know what he meant to the game in that era, especially. 

All those championships, they was winning, going against the Lakers, Boston and stuff like that.

So being a historian of the game, and being able to appreciate it.

“That’s what’s most important for me, appreciating the ones that came before me because they laid down the stones, they laid down the path. And I’m trying to do the same thing for the next generation.”

“Watching greatness reach new heights is always special.

“Records are meant to be broken, and seeing LeBron surpass mine for regular season wins is a reminder of his remarkable talent and passion for the game.

“Congratulations LeBron!”

James will have a great chance to surpass Abdul-Jabbar for No. 1 on the all-time wins list, if he continues playing after this season.
