[kurple]

well he didnt go to college

[rezznor]

the game is alot different now. you can't even breathe on someone with the ball, plus superstar calls seem alot more prevalent now then before.

[Noob Saibot]

dayum. Lebron might reach 25k points by the age of 30. insane.

[sportjames23]

well he didnt go to college

A fact that ESPN and Bran fanboys will ignore.

that only applies to durant and harden

To 30,000 points:

Player, Number of Games, Average ppg when they reached 30k:


Wilt Chamberlain 941 31.9
Michael Jordan 960 31.3
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 1101 27.4
Karl Malone 1152 26.0
Kobe Bryant 1180 25.4

Lebron currently has a chance to usurp Kobe Bryant and maybe Karl Malone to 30,000. But Lebron is straight up not capable of touching Wilt, Jordan, and Kareem.

that to go with 7 assists and 7 rebounds makes it even more impressive. Also, Jordan impresses once against given that he played a lot in the 90s when game was much slower than during wilt's time.

well he didnt go to college
which makes his first couple of years in NBA look even more impressive.

I think he has a chance to beat Kareem too.

[Rose'sACL]

I think he has a chance to beat Kareem too.
i don't think so unless he is on a team on which he has to score more.
On current system run by heat, it is pretty hard to just chuck as they are a bad rebounding team and you can't miss many shots when you rebound that badly. This is why most heat players have had their most efficient seasons in last season and this season. they pass the ball around till they get the best shot possible.

well he didnt go to college
so did Kobe

Karl and Kobe are ahead of Wilt...

Wilt averaging what? 46 mpg? Compared to everybody else at 36-39 mpg.

[20Four]

so did Kobe


You sir are a dumbass....when kobe entered the league at 17...he was stuck on the bench under del harris....maybe you are too young to know unlike LEBRONZE which he was a STARTER with the CAVS playing more than 30 min a game while kobe's rookie season barely got any playing time....so kid stfu and get outta here :biggums:

[BigTicket]

22k doesn't count as a record, it has to be a round number like 25k or 30k.

Lets not count lebrons acheivements because he was too good too early.
Nice logic bro.

Kobe not good enough to be a star at 17 isn't Lebron fault. Lebron would have been a starter in any team under any coach.

Not only your logic is really dumb but you are also aggressive :facepalm

Being the youngest to everything from 1000 to 22000 (and to be continued) means Lebron is on the best scoring pace in NBA history to shatter any point totals....

Yes he will slow down with the scoring as time goes on, but it wont matter because he is so far ahead with the points compared to anybody who was at his age that he can afford to average less ppg and still end up with more points than Kareem if he plays until he is like 38-39....

I dont think you comprehend on what kindof scoring pace Lebron is....

Lets say this season ends & he will have ~23200 points.... and lets say the rest of Lebrons career PPGs goes like something as simple as this:

(75-82 games per season)
Age 30: 27 ppg = 2025-2214 pts
Age 31: 27 ppg = 2025-2214 pts
Age 32: 26 ppg = 1950-2132 pts
Age 33: 25 ppg = 1875-2050 pts
Age 34: 25 ppg = 1875-2050 pts
Age 35: 24 ppg = 1800-1968 pts
Age 36: 23 ppg = 1725-1886 pts
Age 37: 22 ppg = 1650-1804 pts
Age 38: 21 ppg = 1575-1722 pts
Age 39: 20 ppg = 1500-1640 pts

Thats a total of 18000-19680 points......... add that to his 23200 and you are looking at 41200 - 42880 points

..and as you can see Lebron can afford to average even LESS than the above or play less games or retire earlier........ and STILL end up higher than Kareem.........

The only thing that will keep Lebron from challenging Kareems record is injuries.......... nothing else... unless he averages only 15 ppg from now until end...

So to say he wont reach Jordans/Wilts totals is just absurd....... Jordan/Wilt have only 9000-10000 more points than Lebron (at the end of the season only 8000-9000 points).... starting from today Lebron can average 14-16 ppg from now on until he retires and will still end up higher than Jordan/Wilt.... do you know that?

Jordans/Wilts points total will be GUARANTEED surpassed by Lebron, unless he gets shot....

[pauk]

The funniest part about this is that:

1. Lebron is not even a scorer/pure scorer....... he could have scored MUCH more if he passed as little as just ANY of those guys in the top 10 all-time scoring list.....

2. Lebron while doing this is also on a very comfortable pace to also be the first non-PG in NBA history to be on the top 10 All-Time ASSIST list....

Ending up being the only player in NBA history be in both top 10 lists....

Thats pretty.... good....

[Lebron23]

He's the best straight out of high school player of all time.

[TheMilkyBarKid]

It wasn't that. It was that he was given the green light and the keys to the city from Day 1, whereas Kobe had to play behind all star guards and earn his minutes.

Lebron Given, Kobe Earned.
Kobe couldnt have the impact in his rookie season that lbj had regardless of his situation.

[joeyjoejoe]

He's a beast who can just about do anything he wants on the court, without major injuries or a very steep decline im sure he could get the record but wouldn't be suprised if he retired before then, he a just not a glory hog and seems to have a lot of respect for past greats

the thread is talking about all time points scored. a poster mentioned Lebron only a got this because he came straight out of high school. i pointed out so did Kobe yet he did not achieve it.

it matters not if Kobe was a benchwarmer or not. it's not Lebron's problem Kobe wasn't too good to be a starter.

okay, say you remove Kobe's benchwarming years and adjust his points total and age he should have gotten the record. does he beat Lebron? Kobe's pace for total points is the worst among all the all time greats in the list. look at it. he started younger than MJ yet he could barely catch up to MJ.

[3LiftHeatCurse]

silly troll. When Kobe came out of high school, he wasn't NBA ready. LeBron -was- NBA ready. Any team that had LeBron, would have started him on day one. He was immediately one of the best players at his position, in his rookie season.

Can't say the same about Kobe, who was not good enough to play yet.

[3LiftHeatCurse]

He's the best straight out of high school player of all time.

well. him and Garnett are maybe tied for that one

[GOATbe]

Who cares?

All those "youngest scoring records" will be passed by Durant soon :sleeping

[SexSymbol]

I think that comes by default, because these kind of records are for ballers that came straight outta highschool to reach. Kobe was youngest to every thousand before LeBron even after basically sitting for first two years on a 50 win team, that he later propelled to a championship squad obviously. Moses and KG were great players, but they weren't volume scorers, who else we got out of highschool?

I think fastest to, as in years in the league, is a much better way of comparing these kind of records, because everybody has the same conditions to achieve them.

[LAZERUSS]

Karl and Kobe are ahead of Wilt...

Wilt averaging what? 46 mpg? Compared to everybody else at 36-39 mpg.

Karl and Kobe never hit 30,000 as fast as Wilt, nor on his average. And, of course, Chamberlain couldn't play in the NBA until his college class graduated...or four seasons...and probably at least 8000 points, which would put him at #1 all-time.

Same with KAJ. Give KAJ another four years of 2000+ each season, and he likely would have ended his career with 46,000.

Guys like Wilt/KAJ shouldn't even be considered when it comes to records. Poor mans JaVale McGees cruising in an era where their greatest competition was 5'10 and below white guys.. cmon man:facepalm . Kobe's scoring numbers are by far the most impressive on the all time list.

Congrats, should achieve 23k easily this season. When all is said and done he'll be in top 5 scorers of all-time for sure.

Ether. LeBron for sure would be in the starting line-up over scrub Eddie Jones. :oldlol:

so why is lebron punished for being better than kobe when he came into the league? dat kobetard logic

[MasterMaster]

Astonishing feat. I hope he continues. Durant isn't far behind him.

22k doesn't count as a record, it has to be a round number like 25k or 30k.

Yep! KD coming in with a scoring bang at an early age aswell gives him almost equal pace and/or even better if he turns it up, he will have around ~14500 points by the end of this season which is only 700 points less than Lebron had at that time. He could end up #1 on all-time list aswell depending on various stuff, like health.

KD definitely has a very good chance, as he scores the majority of his points off jumpshots, and freethrows. Those are points you'd still be making even after your prime.

However, as Lebron goes downhill, his layups and fastbreaks will no longer be so accessible, so I see him dropping off pretty fast.

Kids today are so soft. If anyone mentions anything remotely critical of their idol they get an an@l tear and have to spazz out. They get butt hurt and automatically try to get other people butt hurt.

It's not Lebron's fault that Kobe wasn't good enough to start his rookie season. Yeah Eddie Jones was there, but I would bet Lebron would get more mins playing behind EJ then Kobe did.

Sorry about the an@l bleeding.
