The upcoming Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets showdown won’t be just any game. It’ll be a game where history will be created. King James is coming for his coronation and this time he’ll claim a crown that no other has even come close to: 40,000 points in the NBA! The Crypto.com Arena will be packed with fans and spectators who’ll be witnessing history as James, currently just nine points shy of the milestone, becomes the first person to cross the 40,000-point mark.

A legend like no other, Lebron James stands tall in the NBA after two whole decades. In his 21st season, he has joined an elite group of only five others who played for 21 seasons, albeit outscoring them combined (1,339 points vs 1,230) in this major milestone year.

It’s almost certain that he’ll score over 9 points considering he’s scored 9 or more in 762 consecutive games (including playoffs) and has failed to do so only 9 times in his entire balling career.

When asked about how he feels, “No one has done it,” the “L” Train said. “And for me to be in this position at this point and time in my career, I think it’s pretty cool. But is it one of the top things I’ve done in my career? No. Does it mean something? Of course. Why wouldn’t it?”

LeBron James’ 21 Seasons of Dominance

The 20-time All-Star’s recent performances go on to solidify his GOAT status. Against the Clippers, he single-handedly outscored them in the fourth quarter (19-16), securing an exciting 116-112 comeback dub with five key 3-pointers. Following this win, despite a bad ankle and playing back-to-back games at 39 years of age, he bagged a staggering 31 points against Washington, including a game-saving block in OT.

James’ scoring prowess knows no bounds. He’s projected to average around 25 points this season, exceeding any other “oldest player” record (John Stockton’s 10.8 in 2002-03). He’s all set to go over Kareem Abdul-Jabbar‘s record of highest point average by an oldest player (23.4 in 1985-86). Only Michael Jordan and Karl Malone averaged more than 20 points per game at the age of 39.
