LeBron on the path of being the all time leading scorer in NBA History

[Lebron23]

1 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 38,387
2 Karl Malone 36,928
3 LeBRON JAMES 35,367

He just needs less than 3,000 points


Kawhi only scored 11,085 points in 10 seasons

Dear Lord Kawhi should just change his name ala Ron Artest to "Load Management".

[Shogon]

If he stays injury free and doesn't sit, he'll probably get that done in 2 seasons. But given that he's suffered injuries in 2 of the last 3 that caused a lot of missed games and given slowing down as a player and lesser scoring, it'll probably take him 3 more years. Crazy thing is if he didn't get injured either of those times he'd probably be passing it this year.

It once looked like an absolute certainly... now it just looks... very likely. He in all probability still passes it, but who knows. He was going to pass 40k and now that seems like a stretch unless he's willing to accept being a dramatically lesser player in 4 years.

[Iverson3]

Hopefully he breaks that scoring nba record. Glad LeBron didn't play for Team USA this summer.

I don't see it that clear. He still has a long way to go, as injuries are catching up with him and his scoring average will go down in the upcoming years. If he hadn't missed all those games in his Lakers years, he would be much, much closer.

Elite shooting & ball movement - players without them are disqualified from GOAT

The GOAT must be elite in all the primary tenets of the game, so non-elite shooting or ball movement (no off-ball) disqualifies a player from goat consideration.

No one is elite in all major areas of the game. That's why you build a team. Wilt can't do what Steph can do, and Steph can't do what Wilt can do.

[Airupthere]

3000 pts is quite doable. Lebron looks like he can still play for another 2-3 years.

[Thenameless]

Lebron taking the all time points title is almost a sure thing. Without having met the man, I'm very sure that he wants it to be part of his legacy. It's why he invests so much in taking care of his body. I'm glad he's going to do it as a Laker. It's only right.

[Spurs m8]

Well yeah...hes stat padded for years....longevity stats don't mean much with him...

Hes always played for stats and not the team..hence the really bad finals record

Jesus Christ could you use any more words to say nothing at all? Your parents and teachers must've hated you growing up.

[MaxPlayer]

Looked around for odds on this, but couldn't find any. Anyone seen any?

I would guess something like 55-60% that he gets it done.

Seems to me that Shogun said quite a bit. With very few words! You seem defensive, but i'm probably projecting. Rephrasing him (awkwardly) here:

If LeBron stays injury free and doesn't sit, he gets the scoring title in two years. But we saw Kobe on a clear path to become the all-time scoring leader, and then the Achilles thing happened and then the knee thing happened and then Kobe retired.
LeBron has a similar path in front of him, but can he stay healthy? Bron has a ton of minutes on his body, much as Kobe did. Were these last seasons injuries an aberration, or a sign of thing to come. We'll see.

[jlip]

As others have stated, it is very doable, but health is the greatest factor. Right now he is 3020 points behind Kareem. If he averages just 20ppg over the next two seasons he could tie Kareem in 151 games. That would also require him to play 76 games in each. If he averages 22ppg he could tie Kareem in 138 games. He would need to average 68 games played over the next two seasons to accomplish the feat. I believe the latter is the best chance.

[EllEffEll]

In between high school and the NBA, Kareem played four years of college basketball at UCLA. Back then, a freshman couldn't play on the varsity team, but the last three years he played at UCLA, the Bruins were NCAA champions with a W/L record of 88-2 over three seasons. Then, he entered the NBA at 22 years old. If Kareem had entered the league at 18, it's a pretty safe bet that scoring record would be untouchable for the foreseeable future.


Still, if he breaks it, congrats to him. He's one of a few that would be a worthy successor as the all time scoring champion.

I remember reading that when Kareem surpassed Wilt, Wilt said that had he known someone was going to come an break his all time record so easily he would have deliberately tried to put it much further out of reach.

Hes made a mockery of the league and has no respect or regard for it.

Time to wipe this cheats records all clear tbh

[MadDog]

He wont do it, but even if he somehow managed to, nobody would regard LeBron as the "GOAT" scorer. He'd be viewed the same way Karl Malone was. Which is all-time great. Far from the most skilled. The most talented. Or flatout best. Jordan, Kareem, Durant, and Kobe were all better in that regard.

[D-Wait]

He will definitely break the record.

Maybe not in 2 seasons, but why would Lebron of all people not play 3 more seasons??
Especially when he's on a contender. (Significant injuries aside)

Pretty sure I said LeBron was an all-time scorer. Learn how to read, bitch. And no, LeBron isn't a better scorer than Jordan. MJ has 10 scoring titles to LeBron's 1. Jordan's also the ALL TIME leader in regular-season and playoff PPG. Cumulative numbers don't provide context and are catered to casual, know-nothings like you.

Then you need a reality check. Jordan is STILL the oldest player to score 40 points, and the oldest to score 50. Before tearing his knee, Jordan was also a Top MVP candidate in 2002, while putting up 25/6/5. From 2001-2003, he averaged 21/6/4 on 43%FG overall. Efficiency near the league average, and at a time defenses were at their peak. Jordan proved he was still one of the BEST players, and he was damn near 40.

Had Jordan not retired in the middle of his prime, his scoring would be better. Playing into game shape isn't easy - and if you're older, like MJ was, it works against you. Either way he's an infintely better scorer than LeBron. It's an insult even comparing the two.

Jordan load managed in his retirement. He would definitely suffer a similar fate to Kobe Bryant if he continues playing in the NBA. The Rockets would have beaten them in 1994. Jordan at 40 was chucking and he never made his teammates better. He had Larry Hughes, Jerry Stackhouse in 2003. The Wizards don't have any excuses why they missed the playoffs in the Weak East. A 39 and 40 years old old man was averaging 25 FG attempts per game

The Wizards were a playoff contender while Jordan played MVP level basketball. After his injury, they fell apart. The next year, Jordan was 40 and Hughes missed too many games on a sorry ass team. Your expectations aren't realistic. Sorta like LeBron being a "better scorer" than MJ.

WTF does this have to do with the topic? SMDH

[Nike D'Antoni]

I think if he plays 3 years including this one(21-22, 22-23,23-24) he definitely breaks it.
21-22, 22-23 I am starting to think might be tough because like events as today ( he misses the game).

[TheGoatest]

This is going to happen, unless he misses a bunch of games.
But if he plays, his scoring average would have to drop an insane amount for this not to happen.

Think about how insane this is. In a few years, we'll be able to say:

"LeBron is the all-time regular season leading scorer"
"LeBron is the all-time playoff leading scorer by a huge margin"

And here comes the key part that is the true testament of LeBron's massive greatness:

"While scoring might not even be the best part of his offensive game."

[csh19792001]

In between high school and the NBA, Kareem played four years of college basketball at UCLA. Back then, a freshman couldn't play on the varsity team, but the last three years he played at UCLA, the Bruins were NCAA champions with a W/L record of 88-2 over three seasons. Then, he entered the NBA at 22 years old. If Kareem had entered the league at 18, it's a pretty safe bet that scoring record would be untouchable for the foreseeable future.



What Would Wilt and Kareem's Stats/Records Look Like Out of HS?

LeBron James, as we all know, played ages 19-22, right out of high school. During those years, he racked up 8,439 points, 2,102 rebounds, and 2,033 assists.

Players were not able to be drafted out of high school until a 1971 Supreme Court Case changed that law.

Being very, very conservative, let's say Wilt averaged 30/20/2 from ages 19-22. (He averaged 37/27/2.3 his Rookie Year).

--He'd have ~41,000 points, ~30,000 rebounds, and ~5,000 assists in his career. And, he stopped scoring the second half of his career!!

Kareem came up during his age 22 season after playing 3 years in college. Give him his ages 19-21 seasons, very conservatively averaging 25 ppg, 12 rpg, and 3 apg. (He averaged 28.8/14.5/4.1 his Rookie Year).

--He'd have ~44,000 points, ~20,000 rebounds, and ~6,400 assists.

And that's just in the regular season. Forget about playoffs totals and records.

How would this change how we rank these players? How would it change their career records and legacies?

Thoughts?

[GrayGoat]

Imagine this 3ball. A non shooter having the most points. Must eat you up lol

[3ba11]

Kareem was good at one shot, while Lebron can't score a lot unless the game slows to a crawl so he can completely dominate the ball (playground brand of ball).

So both guys actually suck at scoring compared to real scorers with big repertoires and ways of playing like MJ, Bird, Kobe, KD, Kawhi, Dirk, etc.. these guys had a better mix of on-ball and off-ball skill that fit with more player types and allowed the best strategy (ball movement, which yielded the best team ceilings/Finals record.

Scoring lead - turnover lead = westbrooking kingpin scorer (weakest brand of scoring possible)

this equals beginner scoring skill that yields bad teammate fits and inferior strategy (low ball movement and team assists) thus needing super-teams (but still a perennial Finals underdog/loser)

ESPN will do anything to make there investment successful. Theyll feed James with endless amount of P.E.D. as they can, theyll rig games for him as long as they can. Theyll put him on the free throw line 30 times per game for as long as they ...
Le ESPN HYPE James = BIGGEST HYPE JOB IN PROFESSIONAL SPORTS HISTORY
Hey nigel, calm yo tits down.

GOAT is subjective. You can pick anyone you want to be your GOAT, and I'm cool with it. I just don't understand why of all the players in NBA history, you'd pick a chronic loser to be your GOAT. But to each his own.

It is weird, hey

Beyond the manufacture job, he just isn't even close to being in the conversation

Hey nigel, calm yo tits down.

The self proclaimed non-bron stan is sticking up for his boy again

19 points away from Karl Malone.

Good for him.

How can someone spend THIS much time on the sport of basketball, be SO out of touch with reality. Dudes legit live out What If? fantasies on ish....

[8Ball]

1 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 38,387
2 Karl Malone 36,928
3 LeBRON JAMES 35,367

He just needs less than 3,000 points


Kawhi only scored 11,085 points in 10 seasons

18 more points to do what Jordan could not do, surpass Karl Malone in all time points.

[Keno]

we on the verge of witnessing history from the GOAT. :bowdown:

[Full Court]

Lol didn't he already pass up KAJ when you add in playoff points?

Sounds like desperation to me.

[8Ball]

Lebron did it.

Finally. Been waiting 25 years for someone to surpass Jordan and it happened in my lifetime.

Wise words.

we on the verge of witnessing history from the GOAT. :bowdown:

Back in 2012 When Bron catapulted into the top 3, I was doing maffs in my head wondering how on Earth Bron could overtake Malone and Kareem. I almost felt it was impossible to do.

LeBron would have to continue averaging 27ppg for 10 more years. I didn't think it could happen.

And we are 1 season, about 50 games away from seeing it happen. It will be the final nail in the coffin for Jordan GOAT talks.

Lol at this moron "doing maffs." He struggles with anything more complex than 1+1.

Imagine his hurt and rage when Bronie passes up Kareem....and MJ is STILL the consensus GOAT. He and his fellow Bronies literally have nothing left after that. :roll:

The Goatits is terrible. And his disaster of posting outing himself was hilarious.

When he runs out of arguments, he just pulls out his tired alt image. So lame.

LeFraud Missing the Playoffs
He has missed the playoffs 3 times in his career and is on the verge of missing it again for the 4th time despite all of these all-star level talent on his team.
