History is about to be made in the NBA. Based on recent performances by Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James, the future Hall of Famer should break Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record for having the most points scored next week.
According to NBC Los Angeles, the four-time NBA champ and all-time great could pass
Abdul-Jabbar’s 38,387 points on Tuesday. James is 63 points away from scoring the most points ever in the National Basketball Association. He is averaging 30 points a game this season. More improbably, he’s putting up those gaudy number at age 38, which makes James a senior citizen in the NBA.The Lakers are scheduled to play the Oklahoma City Thunder at Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday, Feb. 7. Amazingly, tickets are still available for this contest. As one can imagine, the price of tickets may have risen.
According to NBC Los Angeles, there is a two-ticket listing on the Ticketmaster website from a verified reseller. The astronomical price for the tickets for the upcoming Oklahoma game is $200,000. Each. Oh and then there is the service fee. The good news is that it’s only $46,000.
Oh, one last thing: “All Sales Final — No refunds or Exchanges.”
The first order of business is for James to contribute some points in the Saturday game in New Orleans on Saturday when the Lakers face the Pelicans. He could possibly score 63 points, which would be a career-high if he does so. Undoubtedly, people will be watching that game to see how many points he may need to score this Tuesday.
So, if you happen to have $250,000 to blow, there’s still a chance that those two tickets are available and you can possibly witness King James snatch the NBA all-time scoring record from Abdul-Jabbar.
Otherwise, if he doesn’t reach it, we’ll see if someone will offer a similarly priced ticket Thursday when the Lakers are home against the Milwaukee Bucks.
