LeBron James prepares for ‘unreal’ night, 13 points short of Jordan

It’s rare that LeBron James is online before such a big moment, but the biggest moment of his season in 2018-19 will happen without a social media blackout. Accordingly, he’s soaking in the moments before he passes Michael Jordan on the NBA’s All-Time scoring list, no matter the circumstances and sharing it with his fans.

About 90 minutes before the Lakers game on Wednesday night against the West’s No. 2 squad the Denver Nuggets, James shared his feelings about the ‘unreal’ moment ahead of him to his 42 million twitter followers.

James needs 13 points to pass Michael Jordan for 4th on the NBA’s All-Time scoring list. While it has been a theme of his first season with the Lakers, James isn’t shying away from the fact that he’s making history while his team is having the season they never envisioned.

James and the Lakers will face the Nuggets at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN.
