Tonight Is the Night for Lebron James

[BMR Genie]

LeBron James is just 36 points away from becoming the NBA's all-time leading scorer.​

In any other season, tickets to watch a team languishing in 13th place in the Western Conference of the NBA would not be too difficult to come by.


However, even as the Los Angeles Lakers’ on-court failures continued on Saturday with defeat to the New Orleans Pelicans, LeBron James’ quest to become the NBA’s all-time leading scorer means Lakers games are no longer ordinary events.

Wow, thanks for the heads-up CK. Disregard my thread lol, tonight is not gonna be the night haha

 

[carolinakid]

i will update when i know for sure on James

 

[BMR Genie]

Thanks CK!

Yeah, he should skip today game against small market Thunder and rest for blockbuster Bucks to come into town on Thursday. Bucks v. Lakers on Thursday in LA would be the hottest ticket in town. Rhere will be more Hollywood stars in the stand than there will be at the Oscar.

TV ratings will be the highest for TNT this season. Probably higher than any playoff game except the Finals. It’s Showtime!

Make sense. I'm just wondering if he got injured from the last game or if this is all part of the plan.

The woke will
Make a big deal that’s all

Punchin the air

 

[stormtrooper8]

Apparently tickets are approaching $70k?

36 is kind of a lot, I wonder if Lakers go out of their way to feed him though

It's a pretty incredible accomplishment

I don't know

Personally I don't understand the LeBron hate. Pretty much as good of a guy off the court as you can find, even if he's a little bit annoying

This is a lot.

I wonder if Lebron already has in mind the best way he can break Kareem's scoring record. Is it by Jump shot, free throw, or slum dunk?

 

[Tanko]

I know this is a big deal. Its been 30+ years since Kareem set the record but, my interest level on this is not very high.

Lebron is great but his antics outside the sport have turned me off. He has every right to speak out but I don't think he is the influencer on society like he thinks he is.

I kinda wish he didn't talk as much about politics, that would be my one criticism if anything

That said, he is really a model citizen in terms of his generosity to the community, his leadership, etc. especially considering where he came from

Slum dunk? Might be the best Freudian slip ever
