Lebron James He has an appointment with history, another. Tonight the leader of los angeles lakers will play against Oklahoma City Thunder (from midnight in Argentina and broadcast by Star+) with the concrete possibility of breaking through with another brand and rewriting the books of NBA.
In the late 80s, when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said goodbye to basketball, it seemed impossible that anyone could come close to the 38,387 regular phase points he had accumulated in his career. Several have tried, since Charles Mallone AND Kobe Bryant up to the truth Michael Jordan, but the top that the former Milwaukee Bucks and Lakers had left was a utopia. But one day it came King James, which you already have
Only 36 points separate him from that milestone and given that his average this season is around 30 per game, the alternative seems possible. For this reason, a crowd sold out of tickets and paid the resale price to be at Crypto.com tonight, the former Staples Center in Los Angeles, to say “present” in a match that could be unforgettable.
The rematch, in any case, will arrive in a couple of days. Thursday night the 9th when LA hosts the Milwaukee Bucks on the same stage. In that case, the two teams where Abdul-Jabbar played will give a different poem to a record that, sooner or later, will end up being broken.
Should Lebron James break the record of 38,387 points tonight, he will have done so after 1,410 games played in the NBA regular phase, 150 fewer than the 1,560 Abdul-Jabbar needed to reach the same number. An overwhelming difference.
The points record in the regular phase will add to many others that LeBron already had. For example, he is the only player in NBA history to accumulate at least 30,000 points, 10,000 rebounds and 10,000 assists.
Furthermore, it is the only one to take the average 25+ points in 19 seasons consecutive and accumulate more than 15 uninterrupted years by scoring at least 10 points in each of the games played.
