LeBron James became the first NBA player to reach 40,000 career regular-season points in Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

However, James described it as "bittersweet" after his Los Angeles Lakers side lost 124-114 to the defending NBA champions.

James, who scored 26 points on the night, says being the first player to do something is pretty cool in this league.

James scored the historic basket with 10 minutes and 39 seconds remaining in the second quarter with a driving lay-up from the left side of the basket to give the Lakers a 37-32 lead.

The crowd gave James a standing ovation during a timeout, and the ball he used to reach the milestone was removed from the game.
