Following the game, he was asked about how he felt reaching this milestone.

“For a kid from Akron, Ohio, that needed inspiration and needed some type of positive influence, MJ was that guy for me. I watched him from afar, wanted to be like MJ, wanted to shoot fadeaways like MJ, wanted to stick my tongue out on dunks like MJ, wanted to wear my sneakers like MJ. I wanted kids to look up to me at some point like MJ and it’s just crazy, to be honest. It’s beyond crazy.” LeBron said.

“You guys have no idea what MJ did for me and my friends growing up. … I thank MJ more than he would ever know.”
