Should LeBron pull out the skyhook for the bucket that passes Kareem??

Which game in the schedule are we predicting he breaks it at?

I’m hoping before the game he breaks it, he only needs like 5 points so it’s obvious when it is about to happen, rather than dropping 43 when he needed 41 and people weren’t watching yet.

Yeah I think he's pretty conscious about it so he will time it so that it's a home game and also the thing that you mentioned.

178 now
** Embiid is the only MVP in NBA history to never make a conference final
** Philly won multiple playoff games without MVP Embiid
** Luka made the playoffs without Brunson
** LeBron missed the playoffs with Davis
** Steph missed the playoffs without Klay

178 to go

5, 6 or 7 more games to go

Davis comes back tomorrow vs the Spurs

LeBron became the first player to put up 40 on every single team all 30, prior Kobe was the only other guy to put up 40 on every single opponent (29 teams)

Do you think that because you think the rest of the world wants to do everything in NY that badly, or do you think that because NBA players love to clown the Knicks in the Knicks house?

I think that because I wanted to witness him break the record in person I was gon get tickets for the knicks game earlier in the season just because I assumed he would break it some time around this time and it’s looking possible he could do it when playing against the knicks.. and Bron has some great games against the knicks in his career he prolly still likes playing in New York even if it doesn’t get talked about as much as before

Against the Bucks in Crypto would be the best game to break KAJ's record..

KAJ played on Bucks and Lakers

LeBron has been skyhooking in the pregame shoot around. I hope he pulls it out. But mainly I hope it’s the home game vs the Bucks. Even if it means resting for the home game against OKC

It won’t be the Knicks game unless he averages 44, goals unlikely with Davis coming back

honestly, the garden would be amazing. something about opposing fans cheering you on somehow makes a moment more legendary. the ultimate sign of respect. and, for as bad as the franchise has been, knicks fans know what's up.

I'd like to see him get to 1 point away from Kareem, put on the goggles and then we witness him going 0-for-10 until he finally dunks it with the goggles 8-)

As others have said, after dropping 46 on the Clippers, 178 to go.

First player to drop 40 points on every team.

Next game is tonight at 10:30 vs san antonio.

This is pretty exciting. He probably breaks it vs NOP or OKC but it’d be nice against the Bucks at home. Get that 39K Bron!
