LeBron James is just 36 points away from breaking the NBA's all-time scoring record held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, which has stood for nearly 39 years. James is averaging 30.0 points per game this season and is on pace to break the record Thursday night at home against Milwaukee. Fans will have to wait a little longer for the record to be broken, as James finished with 27 points in the Lakers' 131-126 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans Saturday night.
