On Tuesday evening, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James achieved arguably the greatest individual accomplishment in the history of the NBA. 

The 19-time NBA All-Star has now passed Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the NBA's all-time scoring list.

James came into the night needing 36 points to pass Abdul-Jabbar (who finished his career with 38,387 points).

All of NBA Twitter is sending out tweets congratulating James on the monumental accomplishment.

One person who sent out a tweet to James was Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry

Curry tweeted: "Congrats @KingJames …legendary stuff right there #38388"

The tweet has gone viral and had 95,000 likes in less than 30 minutes. 

Curry and James are considered by many to be the two best players of the recent era of NBA basketball.

James has won four NBA Championships since 2012, while Curry has won four in the last eight seasons. 

They have faced off in the NBA Finals four different times (when James was on the Cleveland Cavaliers). 

Curry's Warriors went 3-1, but James led the Cavs to the greatest comeback in Finals history when the Cavs won the 2016 NBA Championship (they won four games in a row after trailing 3-1 in the series).
