El February 7th was the date set by the majority for LeBron James break Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record and become the leading scorer in NBA history. But the date may have to be delayed: the Lakers forward is a doubt to be measured this morning at the Thunder.
In the medical part, the Los Angeles franchise has placed LeBron as “questionable” due to the pain he suffers in his left ankle. When you only have left 36 points for surpass the 38,387 scored by Jabbar, Speculations have already begun.
There are those who believe that, from the media, it would be better if he delayed the milestone for one more game and achieved it against the Bucks, the first team in which the legendary center played, against Giannis Antetokounmpo and in a duel that will be broadcast on national television. The bad thing about ‘waiting’ is that the market close, which will be on Thursday, could take away the focus from its record if there is any major movement.
Throughout his career, LeBron has reached 36 points or more in 197 of the 1,409 games he has played, which is 13.98% of them. This season, during which he turned 38 at the end of December, he has done so in nine of the 43 games in which he has participated. The percentage rises to 20.93%.
He could perfectly break the record this morning if he finally plays. If not, it will be on the night from Thursday to Friday. And, very badly, on Sunday in the visit to the champions Warriors. It is a matter of a few days.
