LeBron: "Kareem Record Most Sought After Record in NBA"

[8Ball]

This is the most difficult record to ever break. All Time points record.


Any all time player can take the proverbial minimum and join a 2016 Warriors type team and win 7-8 championships, hell Robert Horry won 7 and he wasn't even ring chasing. Championships are also team records.


This is an individual award that I thought was impossible to beat. Kareem has held this record for nearly 40 years! I remember doing hypothetical situations 10 ago on how Bron could beat this record and it was too steep a mountain to climb.


If Bron breaks this record, it may not be broken for another 40-50 years!

[TheGoatest]

We all know what the alts are about to say, but LeBron is right.
Kareem has 6 rings and 6 MVPs (1 more than anyone else), yet the thing Kareem is most known for is being the all-time leading scorer. That's how big of a deal that record is.

I think 100 is the most difficult. This is a longevity record. You could literally have no scoring titles to get this one. Just play a really long time.

10 scoring titles is the impossible one as well as 6 finals mvps for the same franchise

Nobody cares about regular season scoring titles. Literally an afterthought. LeBron could have played 2 more games last season, score 31 or 32 points and win the scoring title, yet decided not to because he didn't care.


All time scoring record > anything Jordan ever did.

Correct.

Kareem tied Jordan in rings yet nobody talks about "6 rings" or when it comes Kareem's 6 mvps. Kareem's greatest accomplishment is his scoring title. That's his "Cullinan" diamond of his career.

When we talk about Kareem being a legend we first point to his all time scoring title.



That's what Shaq meant when he said Bron would be the GOAT when he "passes Kareem".

Scoring titles is the most treasured stat. The all time assist record or rebounding record is more cherished than the scoring record.

Longevity record... Yet guys that play 19 to 22 seasons are unable to ever get close.

Vince Carter, Robert Parish, Kevin Willis, KG, Dirk all played 21+ seasons yet aren't even close to this record. Dirk has 31000~ points, not even close.

[8Ball]

Scoring titles is the most treasured stat. The all time assist record or rebounding record is more cherished than the scoring record.

All time points scored > All time assist > all time rebounding > a bunch of regular season scoring titles.


There's no dispute here amongst intellectuals.

[kawhileonard2]

All Time Regular Season Scoring Titles > All time assists > All time rebounds > all time points

[8Ball]

All Time Regular Season Scoring Titles > All time assists > All time rebounds > all time points

Not even Jordan stans would admit to this. They would trade all his scoring titles in immediately if Jordan could have 42 000 all time points, an amount possibly out of LeBron's reach.

[Bacchus]

Jordan 31 50+ point games. Lebron 14 50+ point games. Lebron has played 300 more games than Jordan

[AlternativeAcc.]

It's by far the most important record in sports. LeBron passing Kareem might end up being the most memorable moment in basketball history.

Even the lebron hater trolls know this and respect that record. It's a consensus... we all agree it's the greatest record and sports

[AlternativeAcc.]

Jordan 31 50+ point games. Lebron 14 50+ point games. Lebron has played 300 more games than Jordan

Jordan needed mental and physical rest for years just to play 15 seasons, while the latter years his body broke down despite the enormous rest.

Lebron has played at the highest level for 19 years straight and still going. That's why he's breaking the record and that bald mental midget couldnt get close. thank u for pointing out how wide the gap is between them!

[3ba11]

No one praised Iverson when he was scoring all those points and losing, so no one should praise Lebron's losing basketball either

The fact that he scored all those points and lost so much shows that the QUALITY of those points and brand of ball was garbage.. Lottery record on the championship level (22-33 overall in the Finals... 20-21 with super-teams in 11', 12', 13', 14', 17', 20').. aka the biggest loser ever - garbage brand of ball that needs the most talent and still yields perennial losers.

He's just a manufactured resume that mostly lost with super-teams.. A completely fabricated reputation

[1987_Lakers]

I remember when Karl Malone failed to reach the record, everyone just assumed the scoring record was unreachable. Crazy to think LeBron is about to break it.

[TheMan]

I think 100 is the most difficult. This is a longevity record. You could literally have no scoring titles to get this one. Just play a really long time.

Exactly, Karl Malone, as great as he was, had zero rings and was second all time not long ago.

[RogueBorg]

Not even Jordan stans would admit to this. They would trade all his scoring titles in immediately if Jordan could have 42 000 all time points, an amount possibly out of LeBron's reach.

No way, I'd rather have 10x scoring titles than 42k points. I'll take what Jordan did over anything anyone else has done. Lebron wasn't even the best scorer in 18 of the 19 seasons he played in.

[John8204]

It's number #2....number #1 is arguably the GOAT of all-records

[1987_Lakers]

The crazy thing is out of the top 10 scorers in NBA history, LeBron is in another dimension when it comes to passing.

There is a good chance LeBron will be the all-time leading scorer and be top 5 all-time in assists by the time the season is over.

[Full Court]

Another low-IQ take from Lebron.

And of course it gets eaten up by low-IQ Bronies.

:lol

Typical Lebron, nothing to see here. Low IQ comments

It’ll be funny if Lebron has season ending injuries the next couple of years and miss the record

Then again when he passes the ball when it matters it isn't made. Thus not a good passer.

[SATAN]

Wow. Incredible that a pass first guy with "no offensive skills and bad footwork" can be the all time leading scorer. :bowdown:

Maybe PJ Tucker can beat him. :rockon:

[Full Court]

LOL at Bronies calling him a "pass first guy." He's only pass first when the other team actually puts defense on him. And that's because he's a two-trick pony. Stiff arm and barrel to the hoop for a layup or take an open three. Take away those two options, he's gonna pass. That's a major flaw in his game, and yet the Bronies try to spin it into some noble thing.

:roll:

I don't see Allen Iverson in the top 25 All time scoring list so this entire point is discounted and moot.

Because you are a Jordan stan. Jordan's accomplishments are multiplied 100x in your head, which is not the case in reality.


When people talk about Kareem, they don't talk about his "6 rings" or his "6 MVPs". They mention him with his all time scoring record.


It's his Magnus Opus achievement.

Correct.


Top 1 in scoring and top 5 in assist all time.


There is no dispute that Bron is just about the GOAT offensive player in NBA history.

[j3lademaster]

All time scoring record > anything Jordan ever did.Agreed. Which is why the playoff point record is more impressive. You have to win while averaging a high ppg to play enough games to achieve it. Lebron already has that, so the Kareem record is just icing on the cake. Something pretty to look at in an nba recordbook.

[Shooter]

10 scoring titles is the impossible one as well as 6 finals mvps for the same franchise

7,631 is the one and only scoring title

Regular season is cute tho :lol
