LeBron James now stands at the top of the NBA record for most points scored as he recently shattered the 4 decades-standing record. ‘The King’ finally overshadowed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as he scored his 38,388th point against the Oklahoma City Thunder on February 7. The Lakers’ forward achieved the impossible after his relentless efforts finally came to fruition in season 20 of his illustrious career. Likewise, shooting the iconic shot in the dying seconds of quarter 3, the crowd and the fans alike went into a frenzy. Therefore, witnessing the iconic moment transpire before their eyes. However, the former UFC fighter, Brendan Schaub, expressed his discontent over how the audience captured the moment that will go down in the history books.

Notably, the MMA-fighter-turned-comedian took to Twitter as he shared the already iconic LeBron James shot. The standup comic pointed out how the crowd relied on their cell phones to capture it, instead of appreciating it before their eyes. Thus, eroding the essence of the moment.

Schaub expresses his displeasure over the iconic LeBron James shot

The 39-year-old, in the tweet, praised the 4x NBA MVP LeBron James. Further, he called him ‘the greatest to ever do it’. However, ‘Big Brown’ also wanted to drive the attention of the fans to a pivotal aspect of the sport.

Thus, he wrote, “Appears everyone in the arena witnessed a historic moment from one of the greatest to ever do it….through their cell phones #LeBronJames”

Following this statement, the fans were quick to point out the one central figure in the image who truly lived the moment.

Markedly, the $47 billion worth of Nike founder remained unfazed by the fans surrounding him and the impact of technology at large.

The fans appreciate the exception of Phil Knight

While some fans hit back at the MMA fighter, others pointed out Knight’s preference for soaking in the monumental shot.

A user commented, “except for phil knight. he was there chilling, focussing on his man who will continue to make phil a ton of money.”

A fan scratched their head as they wondered what was wrong with it.

A comment read as “Had to have it on camera since it’ll be such a forgettable moment after they miss the playoffs again”

A fan hilariously replied, “It’s LA, what do you expect? No one lives in the moment there. Well, maybe the homeless.”
