Fans share hilarious reactions to a post speculating a LeBron James' hook shot to surpass Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s scoring record

LeBron James of the LA Lakers is on his way to breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time scoring record this season. A page on Twitter posted the possibility of the 18-time All-Star using Abdul-Jabbar's skyhook move to break the record, and fans started going crazy about it.James has 37,786 points and will likely break the once-seemingly unbreakable record held by Abdul-Jabbar, who retired in 1989, at some point this season. Ironically, the player breaking his record of 38,387 will be a player who doesn't have a score-first mentality. If James maintains his scoring average of 27.8 points per game, he'll need 22 games to pass Abdul-Jabbar.During the Lakers' pregame warmup against the Orlando Magic on Tuesday night, James had a bit of fun with his teammates. He pulled out the skyhook and made a shot from the left corner. The shot was posted on Twitter, and speculations about how he'll make the shot with Kareem's signature move were brought up.Legion Hoops@LegionHoopsWhat if LeBron pulls out a skyhook when he’s one bucket away from passing Kareem?(via @LADEig)3939197What if LeBron pulls out a skyhook when he’s one bucket away from passing Kareem?(via @LADEig) https://t.co/H9m7jtfIiZFollowing the post, fans commented on how crazy the idea was.We've collected the best reactions from fans sharing their piece on how the record will be broken.
