LOS ANGELES, Feb 6 — One of the oldest records in American sport is set to fall this week when LeBron James finally eclipses Los Angeles Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the most prolific scorer in NBA history.

Given he has averaged 30 points per game this season, the only question is where and when Abdul-Jabbar’a record will fall. James has spent much of the season insisting that he has not been obsessing over the record, emphasising that his priority remains helping the Lakers turn around a campaign which is threatening to end outside of playoff contention for a second year running.

“But our day-to-day, we hardly ever discuss it unless we’re asked about it. For us, it’s just, how can we get our team in the best position to make a run?” “I think most of us back then thought that record would never be broken,” Golden State coach Steve Kerr said of Abdul-Jabbar’s record. Abdul-Jabbar has taken aim at James for issues ranging from the Covid-19 vaccine to his on-court conduct.
