LeBron James etched his name in the NBA history books Tuesday night when he became the all-time leading scorer in the third quarter between the Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder.

James reached the feat with 10 seconds left in the third on a jumper that officially broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 38,887th point record he held for 38 years.

It didn't take long for the NBA world -- from James' former teammates to NBA legends -- to react to the milestone with messages flooding Twitter almost immediately after James hit the shot.

The Lakers ultimately fell to the Thunder 133-130, but it didn't feel like a loss with the energy from the crowd and James addressing the crowd afterward.
