LeBron has been in the midst of a nice individual season with the Los Angeles Lakers. While the team has been struggling to string some wins together, James has been playing some great basketball. Overall, he is averaging over 30 points per game, and he is a joy to watch every single night. Additionally, he has been trying to chase down Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s scoring record. This has been a nice side story to follow as it just showcases James’ greatness. Beating this record is no easy task, however, James was closer than ever heading into Tuesday night’s game against the Thunder.
LeBron needed just 36 points to overtake Kareem. Many felt like it would be broken on Thursday against the Bucks. That said, LeBron knows he needs to have big nights in order to give his team a chance to win. Consequently, it wasn’t out of the realm of possibility that he would break the record. As you can see in the video down below, LeBron actually consulted with his sons Bronny and Bryce. He asked them if he should go for it tonight, and they told him yes. Subsequently, James went out there and broke the record.
