A 39-year-old record in the NBA is set to be eclipsed this week.

LeBron James needs just 36 points to become the most prolific scorer in NBA history, overtaking Los Angeles Lakers legend Karim Abdul-Jabbar.

With an astonishing 38,387 points, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has held the record since April 5, 1984.

And assuming LeBron James doesn't miss a game this week, the record will be his with LA Lakers hosting Oklahoma City on Tuesday and the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday.
