LeBron James has another piece of hardware to add to his collection - a gold, diamond-encrusted pendant to celebrate the all-time scoring title the NBA star achieved last month.

The Los Angeles Lakers asked Elliot Eliantte to make a custom chain to commemorate James' latest accomplishment. Their star has won almost everything in his career.

The 38-year-old passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record on February 8, sinking a 21-foot turnaround with 10.9 seconds left in the third quarter against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

James is playing in his 20th NBA season and although another title may not be forthcoming, his historic achievement may be the last significant accomplishment in his hugely successful career.

Details of James's chain

Eliantte, the owner of the brand, created the chain himself and posted the finished product earlier this week, according to USA Today.

The details of the pendant are exquisite. It comes with Eliantte's signature link chain, fastened with the NBA logo.

The gold pendant includes a roaring lion crowned with 'LJ' logo. James' jersey numbers 23 and 6 are also engraved on the pendant with the words 'NBA All-Time Leading Scorer'.

James's achievements are also detailed on the back of the shiny piece of jewelry.

James declares himself the GOAT

Sports Brief previously reported on James declaring himself the GOAT of basketball a day before breaking Abdul-Jabbar's long-standing scoring record.

The LA Lakers star has scooped many records and accolades in his long and hugely successful career, and is truly among the argument as one of the greats.

While Michael Jordan has always been considered the best in the sport, James has always been seen as the only player who could challenge Jordan.
