LeBron James approaches Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s scoring record, sending ticket prices SOARING

Fans eager for tickets to witness history will need to shell out more than $300 on some scalping sites to see LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Milwaukee Bucks.

It’s unclear why the prices for this specific game are rising so much, considering there are eight contests left for the game.

With James 188 points shy of tying Kareem’s record, and James averaging 30.2 points per game, he’s more likely to break the record in a game against the New Orleans Pelicans or Oklahoma City Thunder.
