LeBron James needs just 36 points to become the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. The LA Lakers star will have an opportunity to break the record on Tuesday night when he faces the Oklahoma City Thunder. The league will reportedly not stop the game if there is less than a minute on the clock and the game is within six points, according to TNT.
“The NBA will NOT stop the game to honor LeBron James’ record breaking basket if the game is under 1 minute and within 6 points OR goes to overtime, per TNT”

While the news may be disappointing for some fans, it makes sense from a competitive standpoint, as there will likely be complaints if the outcome of the game is affected due to a stoppage. Fans looking to see James honored will have to hope that he reaches the mark with more than a minute left in the contest, or that the game is out of reach by the time that he does.
