One man who attended the game that saw LeBron James set a new NBA career scoring record is selling his ticket for thousands.
A ticket for the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder that saw James score his 38,388th point.
That was enough to pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most points in a single career in NBA history.
James hit a fadeaway 2-point jump shot late in the third quarter of that game to pass Abdul-Jabbar – who was in the audience as it all went down.

Bids on the ticket stub are open until next week.
