[Nike D'Antoni]

[Bronbron23]

In the regular season yes. You can have that. I'll take guys like Bron and mj who do it when it matters.

[CodeBreaker]

No he can't. He started his career as a mediocre player, and his PPG was not good before

[Smook A.]

He's gonna have to average 30+ ppg until he's in his late 30's to pass Kareem

I think 30k is possible, but 38k+ to beat Kareem? Probably not

[Shogon]

0% chance he lasts long enough to break Kareem's record.

ZERO percent chance.

He does not have a good enough diet to make it that far, never mind the fact that almost everyone takes a nose dive in production during their mid 30s, regardless of their diet and work ethic.

[Proctor]

He can maybe if he has Pringles for his coach for the rest of his life. Otherwise zero chance. Any halfway passable coach knows that Harden can accomplish this only while capping his team's success at early playoff exits. He won't get the ultra green light for the rest of his life after years go by and he still hasn't accomplished jack shit.

[Shogon]

The only guy in the league with a shot at it is LeBron. We will see how that goes. Literally all it takes is an injury or two in your mid 30s and the hunt is over.

People always ALWAYS underestimate the durability and longevity required for the all time scoring record.

[Meticode]

Real talk, I don't think that's happening.

Rigtnow he's at 19,000 and he just turned 30. I think he'll get somewhere between 30,000 to 34,000.

[Shogon]

I just looked it up... LeBron sits at 32,783 points right now heading into tonight's game. He's scoring 24 ppg. Let's say he plays... 70 games this year. That's another 1,440 points for the rest of the year, putting him at 34,223 for his career.

Kareem's record is 38,387.

If LeBron plays 70 games total and maintains 24 ppg rest of the year, he will need just 4,164 points to break the record. Basically, 3-4 seasons after this year. That's totally doable... and he should do it, and will do it, unless he retires out of being ashamed from being a shell of his former self. He might even break 40k.

Harden won't come close.

[Shogon]

I just looked it up... Harden has 19,000 career NBA points. (glossed over that from the above poster)

Anyone who takes this seriously after knowing that is absolutely brain dead. I mean COMPLETELY brain dead.

For those of you bad at math, that means Harden would need to double his career totals right now, and he still wouldn't be there.

And... he's 30... LMAO. Yeah, right.

I will literally livestream myself jumping off of a bridge head first if Harden breaks the all time scoring record.

No one's saying he's going to crack Kareem's scoring record :oldlol:

Now if we're talking about passing 30K then we have a legit convo in our hands

You knew I was dumb? **** you dude. 1 person said Harden will Kareem's scoring record (OP) and you're over here acting like everyone's saying it, searching up numbers and all that.

Don't ignore my 2nd part and don't twist my words either. I said 30k is possible. Never said breaking Kareem's scoring record was

The ****ing thread title is "James Harden will be top scorer in NBA history" and you follow it up with "No one is saying he's going to break Kareem's record"

I'm not twisting shit. The fact that I have to explain this to you...

Also, Bronbron23 agreed with him, by the way. For the record.

I just said 1 person (OP) said it literally in my previous comment. Calm the hell down :oldlol:

It's ONLY 1 person. No one else is saying it, so you can relax now.

Let's talk about him getting to 30k first. I think that's possible and I even said it in my first comment on this thread.

Chill bruh I wasn't actually agreeing with him. I don't actually think he will. He doesn't have enough time. I was basically saying sure but even if he did it dosnt matter because of mj and brons superior playoff scoring.

[Shogon]

You know, as ridiculous as I thought this thread was when you first made it because you are clearly a troll account and I hate James Harden, it's not entirely impossible but I'd still put good money against it.

I mean the dude is putting up massive scoring numbers. If he keeps up the pace he'll be putting two seasons in one.

I personally hate this guy but there's no denying his talent. I just can't wait for the postseason again and him going around in rd1 or rd2.

However, upon even FURTHER reflection, if D'Antoni really is in his last year with the Rockets, this will probably be Harden's peak scoring year. What other coach is going to green light him that hard? I dunno. This will be a more serious or less serious thread once D'Antoni's fate has been determined as of next year imo.

any coach in the league will greenlight harden, it's stupid not too

[Shogon]

You say that but you have to realize that team dynamics are more complicated than always going with the most efficient player.

When Harden jacks up 60 shots in a game, it has the potential to get his teammates out of rhythm and lower their level of interest in the game. I'm not saying he's a cancer or anything of the sort... they're DEFINITELY better with him, it's just that team sports, especially basketball, are more complicated than always going with the most efficient guy with every field goal attempt.

The Rockets would be a better team if he figured out how to get others involved more often.

They're definitely better with him, but they could be even better if he was more deliberate at getting his teammates involved.

if it's a different roster sure but right now the roster is full of 3 and d guys who are built to excel in that system. westbrook's there to give him plays off and lead the bench unit

Bookmarked.:oldlol:

[Ainosterhaspie]

If Harden maintains his PPG pace from this season and plays every game, every year it will take him 6 seasons to pass Kareem. He would do it at age 36.

Maintaining nearly a 39 PPG pace for 6 years never missing a single game seems...unlikely.

Lets say he averages 35 PPG and plays 75 games for year. Still a ridiculous assumption, but lets go with that. That would take 7 years, so he could pass Kareem at age 37.

30 PPG playing 75 games per year would take 8 years to pass Kareem. This is starting to get into the realm of feasibility though still very unlikely.

28 PPG playing 75 games per year requires 9 years to pass Kareem. This finally is something that isn't patently absurd.

Of course then you have to consider that LeBron is starting to look very likely to hit 40K, so the mark could be even farther in the distance for harden.

[Shaquille O'Neal]

In the regular season yes. You can have that. I'll take guys like Bron and mj who do it when it matters.



LOL Lebron when it matters?


Facts:
Lebron has never won a championship in a full season without a bailout shot by a teammate.


Lebron has ZERO (0) finals game tying, go ahead or winning shots. Michael has a ton.



Out of a possible 36 finals losses in 9 series', the most games you can lose is 36. Lebron has lost 31 finals games.


So...if beating Atlanta / Indy / Toronto in the weak east in when it matters....:oldlol:

Actual, non cherry picked facts, LeBron is the all time leading playoff scorer AND has the most playoff game winners of all time

[red1]

nah I dont think so.

[egokiller]

Actual, non cherry picked facts, LeBron is the all time leading playoff scorer AND has the most playoff game winners of all time

Playoffs? We are talking about finals. You don't win a ring in the playoffs, you win it in the finals.

When the pressure is at it's highest, lebron crumbles and needs bail out shots. Shots that he wasn't even involved with. It's like harden going from reg season to playoffs. Too much pressure for him. He can't mentally cope.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Bill Russell would have 8/9 I imagine. So he would displace Shaq. And since he is the GOAT center, it literally would be the GOAT at each position.

Actual, non cherry picked facts, LeBron is the all time leading playoff scorer AND has the most playoff game winners of all time



More facts:


Jordan didn't get a "best of 7" in the first round; best of 5. That gives James 2 more games to rack up pts every year.


Many other all time greats only had 1 series before the Finals. Again, way less games to rack up total career playoff points.


Lebron often couldn't put teams away in ANY round, so they often went 6-7 games. That allows one to get more playoff points. Jordan still has the highest playoff PPG ever, period.


Michael never allowed even a game 7 in the finals, ever, and has 6 championships. Lebron has been swept twice, 4-1 twice, 4-2 twice. In those 6 NBA finals he was a staggering 6 wins and 24 losses. Jordan only lost 11 times in the finals and won 24.


PPG is the measurement of success in the playoffs and finals, not total points scored.


ZERO (0) game tying, game winning, go ahead shots in any finals games over 9 finals series. In 49 Finals games. I mean just think about that for a while.

Nice call dumbass what a god awful prediction Harden is washed up now he cant blow by defenders anymore.

The way Harden is playing now he will go back to coming off the bench being 6th man like his OKC days. :roll:

Interestingly despite the small sample size, Joel Embiid and James Harden are the most efficient duo in pick and rolls in the last 5 years.

Something for Morey to ponder on.

Harden will always be famous for tipping so well at the strip clubs.

[AlternativeAcc.]

Harden being overweight and a great playmaker, he was always gonna age as more of a traditional pass first PG.
