Do the ticket prices to see Lebron James break the scoring record prove that he’s the GOAT?

Lebron James is closing in on greatness. At the time of this writing, he sits a mere 36 points away from breaking the all-time scoring record that is currently held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. His next two opportunities to break the record will come at home vs. the Thunder on Tuesday and against the former world champion Bucks on Thursday, both of which will be nationally broadcasted games on TNT. Tickets to the Thunder game are $284,50% higher than the team’s season average, according to ticket retailer StubHub.

Courtside tickets for Tuesday’s game cost around $48,403 and Thursday’s an eye-watering $68,995, according to retailer TickPick.

James will pass the scoring record with 38,388 points. For reference, Michael Jordan sits fifth all-time with 32,292 points.

The Lakers currently sit at 25-29 and are two games out of the Western Conference Play-In Tournament, but hey, this is cool, too.
