This is an IHeart podcast.

You're tuned in to Heat Check with Trista Crick.

On this episode of the Heat Check, it's trade deadline.

But like the OKC Lakers game last night, it gets hijacked by LeBron James.

We also get into LeBron's historic night. We dig straight

into Christmas in February for NBA fans. Gets off to a hot start with Kyrie Irving getting

moved to the Mabbs. We break down the trade and it's aftermath. Plus, we'll get into a ton of

other trade rumors from around the league. Get right into it, Nick, because shit is moving fast.

Do me a favor and drop that generic ass beat.

Well, the entire association, let's be honest,

stopped dead in their tracks last night for a truly historic event.

LeBron James is now the all-time leading score in the NBA having just surpassed Kareem

with a, I would call it, a mid-38 point performance because he was really supposed to get 40 for me because I had money on it. But, you know, I digress. I mean, after he broke the record, he pretty much did absolutely nothing. But hey, you know, who am I to make fun of the fact that it turned into an entire fanfare on the court? There's pictures. Babies are getting kissed. You got Anthony Davis sitting off to the side,

which we'll get to in a second. But just a bucket short of the record. It looked like LeBron was

trying to back down for a sky hook, which would have been fitting. But instead, patented step

back mid-range, Kobe, behind the free throw line hit nothing but net. Everyone goes nuts,

of course. LeBbron now greatest score

in NBA history uh people are trying to downplay this uh i think he's better at 38 than

hall of famers were in their prime that's pretty much facts showing no sign of slowing down by the time

he hangs up the sneakers he's probably going to put so much distance between him and kareem it'll be

another 40 50 years before anyone ever sniffs the record again.

And then there'll be a fourth generation of LeBron James is in the NBA.
