The Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is on the verge of creating history as he could be surpassing the All-Time scoring record held by another Lakers legend, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Recently NBA Commissioner, Adam Silver gave his take on the timeline of when King James would end up surpassing the 7’2 legend. Meanwhile, Silver’s words on the four-time champion elicited the NBA world’s attention, creating a buzz on social media.

On Jan 15, James crossed the 38,000-point mark and became the second player to do so in NBA history. Currently, he is just a few points behind the Lakers legend’s tally of 38,387 points. Speculating on this, the NBA Commissioner gave his prediction which was certainly not well-received by the fans.

Adam Silver’s take on LeBron James and the record

During a press meet prior to the 2023 NBA Paris Game, Silver predicted when the 18-time All-Star might end up breaking the All-Time scoring record. The NBA Commissioner expressed that the four-time champion(38,104) would likely surpass Abdul-JAbbar(38,387) ‘in the first half of February’.

If Silver’s prediction is correct, it would mean that James would end up being the highest point scorer in NBA history just before the All-Star game in Utah. Silver further added that the All-Star Weekend would be ‘the perfect opportunity to honor him [James]’.

NBA fans reflect on Silver’s take on King James

Soon, Silver’s take blew up on Twitter. Fans quickly reacted to his opinion. Most of the fans expressed that the league may be scripted. While a few of them commented positive things about King James. The reception was seemingly mixed.
