Curry only scored 11,331 points in his NBA Career.

Curry :oldlol:

[Lebron23]

Durant currently with 17, 814 points. Durant needs to average 30 ppg in 82 games in the next 4 years if he wants to break that record.

Durant will need about 9,200 points in almost four seasons say 300 games so more than 30 ppg average for the next four seasons. Not likely...

Curry has no chance.

[Lebron23]

Curry :oldlol:


He's not even a member of the 15,000 points Club. That record looks like unbreakable.

Congrats to LeBron, he has a legitimate chance to catch Kareem. Btw what type of gay ass pic is that?

Since High school-to pros players are not going to return, I think that record is unbreakble.

The previous player (Kobe, right?) was also straight from HS.
In terms of how many seasons it took him? Yeah that's a good record bt not unbreakble.

In terms of age? I think it might stand for a very, very long time, since most players will spend a year in college, and would otherwise have to average close to 29-28 over 12-13 straight seasons to break it.

That's some impressive longevity considering it's Lebron's 14th season, since Kobe did have his fair share of injuries prior to 27K.

Then again Kobe's 14th season was the season he won his 5th title, so let's wait and see how it long it takes Bron to match Kobe's rings.

When will Kobe match LeBron's MVP/FMVP count?

Kobe was bench player a 6th man his first couple of seasons. Let's use some context here regardless congrats Lebron! :cheers:

And LeBron wasn't, because he was ready to be a star at a younger age, which demonstrates his longevity. What context?

:applause: 2nd GOAT already

[JebronLames]

Yawn. LeBron has surpassed Kobe in everything except sidekick, ref assisted rings.

[Lebronxrings]

kobe stans take another L

[spidey102279]

Kobe played in the NBA younger than Bron by almost 1 year. They maybe straight from high school but Bron is almost 19 when he played his first game in the NBA.

[Mr. Jabbar]

I'd like to know how many were dunks on illegal stiff-armed drives. Thanks in advance, OP.

[Marchesk]

Wilt got there at 32, but he started at 23. Should be fastest to 27,000.

No he was first pick in the draft unlike Kobe who was late loterry pick (13) that wasn't expected to play early on backing up an all star in Eddie Jones and Kobe needed time to develop his skills and talent he was very raw at young age unlike Lebron who could play right away with much worse team around him.

You just repeated exactly what he said in different words :facepalm

Lebron was a far better nba player in his early years, you don't hold that against someone when comparing records based on longevity and consistency.

It's not fair that lebron was a superstar upon entering the league and Kobe was bench quality! Nasty Lebron!

It's not Lebron's fault that Kobe can't be a starter yet at the time he was drafted. I don't think he will score big even if the get the starting spot immediately after draft.

[TheOne]

Kobe was consistently in chucking mode while Bron is always about making the right play.

Let's ignore the Curry remark: Durant's chances were killed by his foot injury and even more by this year's decision.

thats literally what he said... LeBron was better from the get go, which is why he started, and Kobe didn't. LOL

[Cold soul]

Yeah genius he was first pick in 03 draft and was considered best prospect out of high school maybe ever he had better opportunity to start off his career than Kobe.

[livingby3's]

And this is for a guy not known for his scoring? real talks, we're really witnessing a once in a lifetime great player

[BigKAT]

Yeah genius he was first pick in 03 draft and was considered best prospect out of high school maybe ever he had better opportunity to start off his career than Kobe.

Well.
Because he was better.

That's like saying it's unfair comparing Damian Lillard's rookie stats to Kendell Marshal because one got more minutes and was drafted higher.

Well, all of this happened because he was plain better at that time/age/draft.

So Lebron being better at 18 is in no way a slight against him getting to 27k younger then kobe.

[Paul George 24]

Durant currently with 17, 814 points. Durant needs to average 30 ppg in 82 games in the next 4 years if he wants to break that record.
LEBRON USED 14 YEARS TO REACH 27000 :lol

Never :rockon:

[Hey Yo]

And LeBron wasn't, because he was ready to be a star at a younger age, which demonstrates his longevity. What context?
Kobe would have been a starter his rookie year for the NJ Nets if he would have allowed them to draft him 8th overall.

He could have been allowed to showcase his skills, instead he chose to ride the pine his first 2 seasons with a contender.

[Hey Yo]

thats literally what he said... LeBron was better from the get go, which is why he started, and Kobe didn't. LOL
"Calipari worked out Bryant three times at Fairleigh Dickinson University, and three times came away mesmerized. "If you watched the workouts," Calipari said, "you would say either this kid was taught to fool us in these workouts or he's ridiculous."

Kobe would have started for the Nets his rookie year. They chose Kerry Kittles instead. Here's Kittles' rookie year stats.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/k/kittlke01.html

but Kobe's just a spoiled bitch who wanted no part in trying to build a contender.

[GoatBoy]

This record needs to switch from youngest to games played. Guys having to go college for a year makes the record unbreakable.

So we're giving players credit for not being good enough to play in the NBA out of high school?

[ArbitraryWater]

Your reply to LeBron beating Kobe for the milestone was 'well Kobe had to come from the bench the first couple years, context'....

And now you say the reason for that was LeBron's utter superiority where as Kobe was still raw?

Where did your precious context go? You realize your first comment was useless now, yeah?

It's not an option anymore though so while it's a great record, if someone better at a younger age came along, he still wouldn't be able to break the record because he's not allowed to enter the league young enough.

[FireDavidKahn]

If someone came along that was better, they would have a higher PPG and thus a very realistic chance of usurping the record.

[Prometheus]

Should that one year of college really make all the difference? LeBron in his 2nd year (aged 19-20) averaged 27/7/7... I don't see many guys able to do that after a year in college anyway...

[dankok8]

The one extra year of college makes a big difference because someone who comes along now has 1 fewer year in the league to catch his record so instead of averaging 27 ppg over 13 seasons they would need about 29.2 ppg over 12 seasons. That wouldn't just require a crazy good scorer but someone with incredible durability as well. KD missed a lot of games that one season and fell behind enough that he now has little chance to pass Lebron.

[ShawkFactory]

I know he's a hugely polarizing figure on here but isn't kinda weird how slept-on Lebron is by some people?

Fvcking teenager averaging 27/7/7. That doesn't happen a lot.

[egokiller]

Yeah genius he was first pick in 03 draft and was considered best prospect out of high school maybe ever he had better opportunity to start off his career than Kobe.

Which is why it's so impressive that despite not being a starting player off the go, that Kobe was able to hold the "record" for so long... but the record should be for fastest to 27,000 points, not how old were you when you hit a certain number. :roll:

How can something even be consiered a record anymore if future players don't have an equal shot at being the youngest since they cant come right out of HS and into the NBA? Let's GTFO with that shit.
