James celebrated during Los Angeles Lakers' game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar passed the ball to James in a ceremonial passing of the torch.
"To be able to be in the presence of such a legend as great as Kareem, it's very humbling. Please give a standing ovation to the Captain, please."James thanked his family and those who have supported him, including Mr Silver and the late NBA Commissioner David Stern.
"I hadn't thought of it that way, but that is very true," Mr Silver told The Associated Press."I think it even adds - right? - to this accomplishment for a guy who became a scorer because he determined that's what was necessary to win. "I never did the, 'OK, if I play this amount of time and I average this' thing," James said."I've never done that with anything in my career. I always said, 'If it happens, it happens.'"LeBron James poses for photos with his sons Bronny and Bryce Maximus, daughter Zhuri, wife Savannah and mother Gloria
