LeBron James is about to become the greatest scorer in NBA history, it's only a matter of time.
When he passed Karl Malone on the all-time scoring list of the best league in the world and rose to second place, he set his sights on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the NBA's all-time scoring king.
Abdul-Jabbar has been at the top of the list since April 5, 1984, eight months before James was even born, when he broke the record previously held by Wilt Chamberlain.
Now James sees the record within reach, needing 399 points to pass Abdul-Jabbar's career total of 38,387 points.
With a career scoring average of 27.2, James will need 15 games to break the new record.
In 32 games this season, James is averaging 29 points.
If he does live up to the expectations, the game against Golden State on February 11 is the one marked to become the celebratory event.
It should be noted that the 38-year-old James has already missed 10 games this season due to various injuries, and it is not impossible that they will delay his big moment a little longer.
