Sharpe's calculations, James needs about a dozen more games to surpass Abdul-Jabbar

James, 38, scored 25 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds in 33 minutes of action. He now needs just over 450 points to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the league's all-time leading scorer.

Sharpe has been adamant about wanting to be present for the game in which James breaks the record and makes history.

By Sharpe's calculations, James needs about a dozen more games to surpass Abdul-Jabbar, but he'll likely do so February 9 at home against the Milwaukee Bucks.
