The Los Angeles Lakers will receive a global audience because of their superstar, who is about to break the All time Scoring record. It is a historic record for LeBron James, his team, and the entire NBA franchise. The record that King James is going to break is not something that happens on a daily basis. It takes consistent performance over many years to reach where LeBron James currently resides. And the 38-year-old deserves all the praises that he is going to receive.
On the one hand, the Lakers superstar is heading for the star while his team rests in the 12th position in the league. It looks like LeBron James will fulfill the record. But he won’t be able to compete in the playoffs. In order to reach the playoffs, the team will have to give it all in the second half of the league. With All-star weekend approaching, the Lakers would want to improve their standing before the event. In All-star events, the Akron Hammer has also reserved the top spot with his enormous fame. So when is the Lakers superstar achieving the feat, and what is the preparation for the celebration?
LeBron James Will Make It Before All-Star Week
The Lakers have had many struggles this year, and injury issues have made their season-worst. However, LeBron James’ record would stay unaffected because of his crazy individual performance. In recent weeks the 38-year-old carried the whole team with consecutive 40-plus points performances. Even in his 20th season, the 18-time All-star shows no signs of stopping or putting in average games. After crossing 38000 points and becoming the second player ever to cross the mark, he is just 260 points away from making history.
The four-time champ is currently at 38,104 points, and the early weeks of February will make LeBron the top scorer. But this is assumed, considering he continues to score as he is and remains injury free for the next games. However, if it all goes as planned, LeBron James could receive his honor in the All-star weekend. And the NBA would not allow a monumental moment to pass by. Therefore, NBA commissioner Adam Silver has decided to make a grand gesture to celebrate the auspicious moment. Adam said the game would get global recognition as the world could watch King James make history.

Pride And Prejudice
Following the good news, Silver also assured everyone that the whole league would not be blown out globally. Only the game leading to LeBron James crossing Kareen Abdul Jabbar will be the priority. Apart from the telecast, the game will also consist of different ceremonies during and after the game. Meanwhile, the Lakers fan hopes their team will start piling up some wins to make the record more exciting.
Everyone is excited except Robert Horry. And according to him, even Kareem Abdul Jabbar must be pissed. Horry explained that people say that the records are meant to be broken. However, Robert believes it is not a happy moment for someone whose record is on the line. And Kareem will be sitting in despair as he will soon lose the number one spot. LeBron James is only a few games to score 300 points more.
