"Congrats, King James… legendary stuff right there," wrote Stephen Curry.

"L, congrats on being all-time leading scorer in NBA history. It's even funny to just even say that," Durant said. "You know, coming from where you come from, how hard you grinded for this long. It's been an aspiration since day one. Much love and keep setting the bar high."

"Unbelievable!! Congrats King James," wrote Nowitzki.

"Wow, never in my lifetime did I think I would see two NBA athletes score over 38,000 points!" Magic Johnson tweeted. "I still remember when my Showtime teammate, the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, broke the record. It was an honor to be the guy to pass it to him and cement his legacy!"

"True Greatness," noted Kevin Love. "Incredibly grateful to have witnessed and been a part of your journey. History made. 38,388."

"Greatest of All Time," said Ja Morant.
