LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers is only 36 points away from breaking the NBA scoring record. He’s getting ready for the event since he has the chance to make history tonight.
LeBron was seen arriving at the Crypto.com Arena fully suited for tonight’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was dressed in a black suit and shirt, with a gold chain around his neck and the words “Stay Present” affixed to his lapel in the same metal.
Together with the 82,000 views so far, the post has received over 2,000 likes and several hundred retweets. Many think that his attire alone is an omen that he will break the record and surpass Magic Johnson as the NBA’s all-time greatest scorer tonight. The great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar now holds the NBA scoring record, which he established in 1989 with a total of 38,387 points.
LeBron James currently has 38,352 followers and reached that number in 150 fewer games than Kareem.
James has the opportunity to do so tonight in Los Angeles in front of a home crowd in addition to doing so while playing for Kareem’s Lakers. Even if he falls short, he will have another chance to break the record on Thursday when the Milwaukee Bucks visit.
