LeBron James is anticipated to become the NBA's all-time leading scorer.

LeBron just needs to score 16.2 points per game across 82 games to claim the record for himself

[{"selector":"#anim-0c7cbf22-1a8e-4407-8937-b5928124a3c9 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(8.767360860913058%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d05ae751-4c5c-44e0-a6da-e1f9e5fbb079","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(118.27243%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e7680539-737d-4a79-81f2-b36ec24e9d81","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dfa9dee3-9a38-46db-b48c-1d4e35c8ae55","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit: Social Media

but James is predicted to break it earlier in the season if he can maintain a 25-point scoring average in Year 20.

Before the Lakers' season opener against the Warriors, James talked about the prospect of breaking the record.

[{"selector":"#anim-399e385a-8166-4aa4-8122-a5bed9e0c962 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.36619269474067%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-eac14327-77fb-47e9-bce0-ef81c8cad8e0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.55555%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3ef86b41-a778-438c-8313-dff4e5a2032e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-78c0e17e-0f56-45ff-9da7-ad940696895c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit: Social Media

I think it's a big deal. It is among the most coveted records in sports, in my opinion.

[{"selector":"#anim-d0e3748a-6c19-4b22-af15-328c9573bb7a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(36.583927114277465%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0099f2b7-d3cc-4d8d-ab6d-0078d3b3d114","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(120.47782%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4a7940d7-dab6-493c-89d4-36d55b92eb94","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a04c5fd5-1506-47d0-8dac-891f429ef08b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit: Social Media

And as for myself, I've never even attempted to set a goal to achieve it.

I can't understand it at all. However, it's something that's bigger than people realise.
