LeBron James had a night to remember at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles last night. The basketball player beat six-time NBA MVP Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s career scoring record, which he held for 39 years, during the game between James’ Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Lakers fans knew the night would be a memorable one as soon as James arrived at the Crypto.com Arena. The player, who is known for his pre-game outfits, arrived dressed to impress. Photos of James’ ensemble went viral on the internet, garnering over 1.3 million views on Twitter and over three million views on the basketball star’s personal Instagram account.

James wore a black satin suit before the match. His outfit featured a black button-down shirt with pearlized buttons undone two notches. On the breast of the jacket, James donned two gold pins; one shaped like a rose and the other in a rectangular shape with the words “Stay Present” emblazed on it.
