After his most recent game against the Washington Wizards with 31 points, LeBron James set the stage for what will be a historic day in NBA basketball.

The Lakers‘ King is only 9 points away from doing what no other player before him has achieved. It shouldn’t take him long after the game against the Denver Nuggets starts at Crypto.com Arena.

The seats will surely be expensive for this event as we might never see anything like it again. James will become the first and only player in NBA history to score 40,000 points. If you sit down and think about that number, it is insane to fathom that any NBA player is able to do this.

But that also goes to show how important LeBron James’ longevity factor has been for him.

Although the Lakers started off the season with an unbalanced string of results, the team has managed to get a decent footing in their search to make the Playoffs this season.

Last year, they did reach the Western Conference finals but they were swooped away by tonight’s rivals. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray’s Denver Nuggets are just as dangerous as they were last season.

But as far as the record goes, fans who will attend the game will only go to witness this historic evening in Los Angeles. There are many who are still doubting and debating who the greatest player in NBA history is but none of the other names in the conversation scored 40 thousand points.

Getting a victory will be far more difficult for these Lakers than it will be for LeBron to get this record, that is where the game will get extremely interesting.

But after he gets those 9 points he has left to reach the magic number, there is a high possibility that LeBron James is extremely motivated to drop another unforgettable performance.

Should this take place, both he and Anthony Davis have what it takes to defeat the reigning NBA champions and get a little revenge from last season.
