(10/04/22 10:30am)

The 77th season of the National Basketball Association will begin on Oct. 18, 2022. This season is particularly special for LeBron James, one of the greatest players of all time. James is on pace to break the NBA All-Time Career Scoring record. He is trailing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar by 1326 points. In addition, James is also on pace to pass Magic Johnson on the NBA All-Time Career Assist List; he needs only 97 more assists to pass the Los Angeles Laker legend, per an ESPN article. James is on pace to break both this year. Prominent players and sports analysts say that if James can accomplish these two feats in the same season, then he will be considered by many to be the best basketball player of all time.
