In this upcoming season, Lebron will try to beat Kareem in the top in scoring and with his average PPG last season which is around 30+, he can do it this season. Like what happened when Curry beat Ray Allen's record of most 3pt shots in career, I'm pretty sure that Kareem will be there when Lebron surpass his record and that will be one of the greatest memories for Lebron and for the fans as well.
I guess LeBron can break Kareem's record this upcoming season anyway, as he only needs to score 1,326 points to break it. So if LeBron can score an average of 30 points per game and doesn't miss any games due to injury, he will be able to break that record by the 44th game of the upcoming season. In that case, it will happen on January 16 during the home game against the Rockets.
Yeah so long as he doesn't get injured bad he is gonna snap the record but he isn't going to be averaging 30 points a game. Lebron is good but he will probably be in the 23-25 points a game. Especially if AD is healthy, the offense should run through AD. And then Westbrook needs his shots too. I d say it will be much later in the year because he is going to be rested a lot more to preserve his body as well. Can see him sitting on one of the games on their back to back nights.
