Predicting when LeBron James will break NBA record that will never be broken again

Detroit Pistons

The 2022-23 season gets underway this week and assuming he stays healthy, Los Angeles Lakers‘ future Hall of Famer LeBron James will break a record that will never be broken again.

James, who is 37, is entering his 20th NBA season, and after the Lakers missed the NBA Playoffs in 2021-22, you can bet he will be determined as ever to make a run during the upcoming season.

What NBA record will LeBron James break in 2022-23?

As it stands, LeBron James has scored a whopping 37,062 points. That total puts LeBron in second place behind the great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who scored 38,387 points in his Hall of Fame career. (Note: Kareem played in 1,560 career games, and LeBron has played in 1,366 career games)

When LeBron finally breaks Kareem’s scoring record, I truly believe that it will be a record that will stand for the remainder of time.

Season Predictions for Detroit Pistons

When will LeBron James break Kareem’s record?

During his 19 seasons in the NBA, James has been named to the NBA All-Star team 18 times and it is a safe bet that he will accomplish that again in 2022-23.

But this year’s All-Star game could be extra special as I predict LeBron will break Kareem’s record on February 15th at home against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Nation, when do you think LeBron James will break the all-time scoring record? Once he breaks it, will it ever be broken again?
