Following Lebron James record-setting feat as the highest-scoring player in NBA history, basketball stars and fans have trooped to social media to congratulate the 38-year-old.

Here are some reactions gathered by Sporting Tribune.

NBA and Lakers legend Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson

@MagicJohnson Wow, never in my lifetime did I think I would see two NBA athletes score over 38,000 points! 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!
