LeBron James is going to make history and break the NBA’s all-time scoring record, and at this point, it’s just a matter of when and how.
He will have his first legitimate chance at passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar by attempting to score more than 36 points when the Lakers host the Oklahoma City Thunder in Los Angeles at 10 p.m. ET on Tuesday evening.
The game will be broadcast on TNT and Stan Van Gundy will serve as the color commentator as LeBron attempts to break history. He will be joined by play-by-play announcer Brian Anderson and reporter Stephanie Ready.
Van Gundy, who recently started using slang words like “bussin” during his broadcasts, caught up with For The Win to discuss the big game. He spoke about LeBron, Kareem, his hilarious Twitter interaction with Kevin Durant, and more.
