LeBron James Approaching Kareem Abdul-Jabbar\’s Record!
LeBron James needs about 50 games to overtake the top spot if he maintains his career average of 27.1 points per game. James would need 44 games to reach that point if he continued his 30.3 points per game scoring rate from last season. The first target timeframe is mid-to-late January if James doesn\’t miss any games. In addition to being one of the finest passes ever, he would eventually become the most prolific scorer.

James hasn\’t shown any decline. Each of his previous 18 seasons saw him score at least 25 points each game.
