James asked, “Why the fu*k are you so close to my locker?”

Embiid responded, “I'm sorry, Mister 16,000 field goals. I forgot the question, but yeah.”

The moment highlights James's historic achievement, in which he became the first player to make 16,000 career field goals. He was one of only two players, alongside Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who made over 15,000. Also on the list in the top ten are Karl Malone, Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille O'Neal, and with Dirk Nowitzki. Kevin Durant is the only other active player in the top 10, with 11,075 field goals made as of Wednesday evening.

The move solidifies a historic year for James, as he is the only player to have played 24 seasons in the NBA. He's found himself as a key part of Philadelphia's success in their early-season 8-1 start. James is averaging 15.7 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 7.4 assists on 45.7% shooting. In the victory over the Pistons, he finished with 13 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists while knocking down one 3-pointer and shooting 50% from the field. James's playmaking ability opened up the game for Embiid, who had one of his best outings of the season, finishing with 26 points, 15 rebounds, and two assists.

Now the 76ers are set to face off against the Cleveland Cavaliers, James's old team, in an NBA Cup game following their miraculous comeback over Cleveland to start the season.
