| 0:00.0 | you are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. |
| 0:05.2 | Final hour in this Wednesday. We'll talk to our good buddy Marcella S'Wiley, former NFL defensive |
| 0:11.5 | N pro-bola. Now as a podcast at Dan Patrick dot com phone calls will get to those as well. |
| 0:18.0 | We hear from Magic Johnson. He talked about LeBron James eventually passing Karim Abdul-Jabbar |
| 0:23.9 | in the old time points list Karim finished with 38,387 points. I think he's held the scoring title |
| 0:33.2 | since 1984 maybe sounds like that 1984 LeBron has 37,144 points so he trails Karim by 1,243 points. |
| 0:46.9 | If LeBron averages 27.1 points per game and then averages his career averages 27.1 if he averages 27.3 |
| 0:59.3 | then it'll take him 46 games to break the record. If LeBron plays in each of the next 45 games in |
| 1:07.3 | averages 27 he would be 28 points shy of the record heading into a Wednesday at home against the |
| 1:14.3 | Spurs the Lakers final home game before a five game road trip. Wow. We've we've mapped this out. |

| 1:52.4 | Right. You know, I think it'll be a hard pill to swallow. He eventually had that record for almost 40 years |
| 1:59.6 | and I think he thought he was going to have it forever. So that's magic with Shannon Sharp. |
| 2:06.5 | And I was surprised that it was going to affect Karim this much but then I started to wonder if |
| 2:11.9 | you think about a singular figure who missed out on the modern times in their sport. Now I would |
| 2:19.8 | mention Elgin Baylor but you know Karim missed out on the golden age that you know when the the |
| 2:28.4 | TV era it happened. It started with magic and Larry when they were in college and then certainly |
| 2:34.0 | continued and then Michael came in. But Karim by the time he was in the golden age of TV, he was |
