Now that Kareem's record is broken, who breaks Jordan's?

[theman93]

Kareem's record for most points scored stood for 39 years until Lebron broke it last night.

As it currently stands, Jordan's scoring title record of 10 (1998) has stood for 25 years and counting. It will take an additional 11 years to break which means this record will stand for atleast 36 years.

The closest active player has 4 (Durant), and in order to pass Jordan he would need to play until he's 41 and win it each year. That's not happening.

The only active player who might have a shot is Luka and he doesn't even have 1 yet in year 5.

How long until someone break's this record? Does any active player get close?

[8Ball]

Nobody cares about the yearly scoring title record. It has as much weight as making the all star team which LeBron will also achieve.



Case in point, nobody besides Jordan stans talk about it. Did you see the NBA stop an actual regular season game for 15 minutes to celebrate Jordan getting 10? Nope.


Meanwhile everyone is talking about LeBron being The all time scorer.

[1987_Lakers]

Both George Gervin & Iverson are top 5 in scoring titles. lol

There's like a few dozens more players to choose from before going to Allen Iverson

[SouBeachTalents]

It's not even a knock on Jordan, but nobody gives a shit about how many times someone's lead in a statistical category, it's always who's the all time leader. Even being the single season leader is a significantly bigger deal. I bet even hardcore sports fans couldn't name how many times Jordan's lead the league in scoring, or who has the most seasons leading the NFL in passing TD's etc.

[bison]

The first time anyone ever talked about Jordan's scoring titles was in 2022 when Jordan stans started having meltdowns.

Similar to 5-6 years ago when the first time anyone ever talked about ‘1-9’ because Lebron stans were having meltdowns about their inability to break the consensus that Jordan is the GOAT. Both are examples of cheap random stats pulled out the ass of stans in a desperate attempt to slander a player. This is why I could never be a player stan. Player stans are often consumed by jealousy and pettiness it’s ruined their ability to enjoy basketball and basketball greatness.

1-9 is just a tongue in cheek mockery of 3ball spam threads.

We didn't think seriously of it. At least not me. I only used it on 3ball because it bothered him when we typed "1-9".


Jordan's an all time great and sits at #2.

[theman93]

10 scoring titles is a record whether you want to discredit it or not. If it was as irrelevant as you all or saying it would not be a title that is tracked. I recall a very big deal being made about it last year when Lebron was in contention for it.

It's a record. I give you that. It's just not an important record.


Is having the most all star team selections a record? Yes it is. Do people really care? Not really.

[8Ball]

The point is, there's a dozen better all time scorers than AI and they didn't even have 4 scoring titles like he did.



Dirk has 0 scoring titles yet it doesn't matter when ranking him as a scorer. He's still easily top 10 and ahead of AI.

If you don't care that's fine I can't debate what you care/don't care about. But you can't logically speak for others. All the major sports networks were talking about the scoring title chase last year, it was a popular topic around here as well, and when Embiid won it ESPN tweeted this out:

Like does anyone question Gretzky's all time points total by pointing out a year to year statistics?

Will not happen. Cant be broken

2 3 three peats in the same decade. Imposible

[Wardell Curry]

LeBron made it clear last night before the game he intended to break the record last night. And to be able to confidently non verbally tell people that he was going to do it last night, going into the game 36 points short, at 38 years old, is fairly remarkable.

LeBron is overrated by so many people on this board and across NBA fandom, but it's become very obvious to me that had he made scoring his biggest priority throughout his career like Jordan and Kobe, we would be talking about LeBron cracking 45,000 points before he retires, at the least.

[Norcaliblunt]

You know back in the day people did care about Jordan racking up all these consecutive scoring titles. When he tied Wilt for 7 scoring titles in a row they gave him his props. I remember actually having this basketball card celebrating it.

Nobody cares, yet here you are along with the rest of the Lebron stans who allegedly don’t care but can’t stop posting about it :lol. If you or nobody cared you all wouldn’t keep responding to it.

Anyways, the thread isn’t even an argument over who’s the greater scorer. It’s only regarding how long will Jordan hold the record for scoring titles. You guys are so insecure that you can’t even stay on topic.

[Norcaliblunt]

People cared about the scoring titles and were comparing Jordan to Wilt as a scorer. I remember more talk actually about Jordan vs Wilt than Jordan vs Kareem. It was all based around the consecutive scoring titles record. No one has come close to Wilt or MJ in the last 25 years so it doesn’t get brought up anymore. But if a player were to go on a scoring tear for 5 plus years and start racking up ppg titles the media would be all over it.

[Airupthere]

Why are we not just showing accumulated stats during games since it seems to be the gold standard now? Instead of showing ppg eg, just show the total accumulated points in the season, then in the league. Lol

Yep. Kareem’s all-time point total only became a hot subject because Lebron was getting close to it and then passed it. Before recently nobody talked about it. It will be the same story when a player in the future starts to creep up on Jordan’s scoring title record.

I think the thing you're confusing here op is the all time scoring record is perhaps the most hallowed ground in the sport as far as individual records go. It was always held in high regard but not really spoke of because it seemed unbreakable. I grew up believing no one would ever reach it if Mj couldn't. 10 consecutive scoring titles was a respected thing due to banter when Wilt was still living but I don't ever recall it getting the same reverence as Kareems mark. I mean they literally haven't been able to mention Kareeems name for like 40 years without saying all time leading scorer next to it.
