Many sports analysts congratulated LeBron James after he broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time scoring record.
Tiger Woods, the golf legend, has also congratulated James. He shared his thoughts about how he grew up watching Jabbar and thought his record was unattainable.
Woods praised LeBron James for his incredible performance and longevity in basketball. He also predicted that his team will win more of such achievements.
In his recent interview with GolfTV, Woods praised James, saying, "It's unbelievable what he (LeBron) has been able to not only achieve but sustain." Over the course of his career, he's been able to develop his game and make huge strides forward."
Woods said: "What he accomplished is absolutely incredible of just the durability, the consistency and the longevity."
He continued: "I never thought, I mean, I grew up watching Kareem here and never saw him play in Milwaukee, but he was the Cap, you know?"
He also said: "That’s all I remember, the Showtime Lakers and watching Cap run down there with the goggles and hitting the skyhook. That record we never thought would be surpassed."
Woods also added: "But what LeBron’s doing, also the amount of minutes he’s playing - no one’s ever done it at that age, and what he’s done and be able to play five positions, that’s never been done before, especially at this level for this long."
