"The King" is on the brink of breaking history. With only 36 points away from surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time points record, LeBron James has managed to maintain his reign despite GMs, coaches, scouts, and even owners not always doing their jobs properly. But how does one filter out the distractions and reach such a historic landmark?
Recently, Mark Cuban pulled off a power play by snatching Kyrie Irving right from the Lakers' hands just two days after the superstar demanded a trade. This trade shook up the entire league and had LeBron tweeting, "Maybe it’s Me". And as if the trade wasn't enough, the front office ineptitude has once again left LeBron without the players he needs to compete for a title this year. Meanwhile, Cuban continues to be a shrewd operator, pairing his star Luka Doncic with Kyrie.

But despite all these distractions, LeBron is still on the brink of making history. And you can be a part of it. The GOATJames image tweet, which may be the last one before the record is broken, can now be collected as an NFT.
In just a couple of days, LeBron could make history. But with management being slow to surround him with the players he needs, who knows what could happen? Will he have the support he needs to break the record, or will more front-office mishaps get in the way? One thing's for sure, it's always a wild ride being a fan of "The King".
