Fans get hyped as LeBron James pulls up to Crypto.com Arena in all-black fit as he gears up for potentially historic night

​

Fans were energized as LA Lakers superstar LeBron James arrived at the Crypto.com Arena ahead of Tuesday's much-anticipated game against the OKC Thunder. James could break Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record and become the top scorer in NBA history.

Although he's listed as questionable for the game, he looks ready to be the all-time leading scorer.

James, with 38,352 points, is only 36 points away from Abdul-Jabbar's iconic record of 38,387. If he scores more than that on Tuesday night, he'll re-arrange the scoring list.

Fans were estatic when they saw James arrive at the arena in Los Angeles.

With that, we've collected some of the best reactions ahead of the most-anticipated game of the season.

The Lakers will take on the Thunder tonight at 10 pm EST.

What will happen if LeBron James doesn't beat the record tonight?

Everyone expects LeBron James to break Kareem's record tonight against the Thunder. However, there is a chance that the four-time champion will come up short of scoring more than 36 points tonight. If that happens, fans will have to tune in to the Lakers' next game, which would be against the Milwaukee Bucks.

It's poetic to see James break the record against the team that Abdul-Jabbar used to play for. Additionally, this would excite fans to see the Lakers take on the Bucks and celebrate the achievement of King James.

But many are expecting him to follow through with his goal tonight. LeBron could end the night as the top scorer in league history. A plethora of celebrities will be attending tonight's game in Los Angeles.
