RAPPER Drake wants to dedicate a song to LeBron James.
The Cleveland Cavaliers superstar reached 30,000 career NBA points on Tuesday night, becoming only the seventh player in history to do so.
At 33 years and 24 days, the King became the youngest player to do so, beating Kobe Bryant's previous mark (34 years, 104 days).
Drake, who is a huge basketball fan and actually acts as an international ambassador for the Toronto Raptors, now wants to record a song to mark the moment.
He said: "LeBron, I’m honoured to be part of yet another historic night. 30,000 career points, it’s incredible.
"It seems like every time we look up you’re setting another milestone or breaking another record. I always tell you you’re one of the most inspirational people in my life.
"I’m honoured to call you a brother. Every time you do something like this, I always try to get in the studio and make the song that will go with the moment, so I’m excited to go to work tonight."
James scored his record mark in a 114-102 defeat to the San Antonio Spurs.
Speaking after the game, James said: "Just a special moment," James said after the game. "I just started thinking about everything.
