LeBron James takes the court tonight while standing on the precipice of owning the most significant record in basketball, which is all-time scoring. This title has been held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for 38 years, but a 38-year-old LeBron looks destined to surpass it.

He is currently trailing Kareem by 36 points and many fans are expecting him to break the record tonight against the OKC Thunder, with his friends and family in the crowd with some of the most expensive tickets for a regular season game ever.

While LBJ could also break it in the Lakers’ next game against the Bucks, everyone wants to see it happen tonight as part of a fantastic scoring performance. All that’ll matter is the final shot that puts LeBron over the finish line.

 It seems James may be borrowing a move from Kareem to get that done, as he was seen practicing his skyhook during the shootaround.

If LeBron breaks the record with a skyhook, it’ll be a terrific way to honor Kareem for holding this record for so many years. No matter what way he scores, LBJ is likely to become the all-time leader in scoring within the next 2 games.


LeBron James Using His Frustration To Be Dominant On The Court?

It’s no surprise that LeBron James is extremely upset with the Lakers and how they’ve constructed a roster around him. Missing out on Kyrie Irving seemed to have really hurt James and the team is now still waiting to find the right move before the trade deadline, which shuts by the afternoon of February 9.   

James is averaging 30.0 points this season and has not let off-court issues cloud his performances on the court. Hopefully, that continues as James is staring down the greatest regular season achievement in the history of the sport.
