As Marca reports, the four-time NBA winner exchanged some beautiful words with his son, Bronny before the start of the second half.

At that time, James was only 16 points away from breaking the record.

Here's how the conversation panned out:

"Right here, huh? Sixteen points. Eight points a quarter," James stated.

Bronny then replied with 'go ahead'.

"Go ahead and get it?" James responded. "Alright. I'll get it."

And get it he did. As soon as his record-breaking basket went in, James' sons and wife were up on their feet to celebrate the crowning of a legend.

You will never see anything as prophetic as this.
