Steve Kerr remembers being on the call for LeBron James’ preseason debut as a rookie.
SAN FRANCISCO — Steve Kerr remembers being on the call for LeBron James’ preseason national TV debut as a rookie in 2003.
James’ talent was blatantly obvious, Kerr recently said, recalling the game from his time as a TNT broadcaster. He remembered how explosive and powerful the then-18-year-old was going up against grown men. But never could Kerr have foreseen the illustrious and lengthy career James would ultimately have.
Nearly 20 years after James was taken No. 1 overall in 2003, the 19-time All-Star on Tuesday reached a milestone once thought to be untouchable.James entered Tuesday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder needing only 36 points to beat Abdul-Jabbar’s league record of 38,387. With the Hall of Famer in attendance, James eclipsed that record in the Lakers’ 133-130 loss to the Thunder.
Kerr gave props to James in the days leading up to his record-setting performance, saying his pursuit up to that point was “pretty amazing.”
