Assuming he doesn't sustain a serious injury, LeBron James<\/a> will become the NBA's all-time leading scorer in the very near<\/em> future. We're talking a matter of weeks here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And while James certainly deserves every single bit of the praise and admiration that he'll undoubtedly receive when he sets the new standard, so does the man whose record he's breaking — that, of course, being Kareem Abdul-Jabbar<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So while it could have been cool to see LeBron break the record against one of his former teams or against one of the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>‘ biggest rivals (the Boston Celtics were a real possibility for a while), I think it's fitting that there's a strong<\/em> chance that it could happen against the team with whom Kareem began his NBA career — the Milwaukee Bucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Heading into the Lakers' matchup with the rival LA Clippers on Tuesday night, LeBron James needs 224 points<\/a> to break Kareem's record. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThere's a strong chance LeBron James could break Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's scoring record against the Milwaukee Bucks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
