Calling Lebron the greatest scorer of all time is just silliness. Nobody takes that kind of hyperbole seriously.
However, he has averaged something like 27ppg for his career, so he's clearly a great scorer.

Yes
The point of the game is to put the ball into the basket more often than your opponent. How Lebron does it doesn't matter he puts it into the basket at a higher rate than almost anyone in the league ever.
I don't like his style of play, but that doesn't matter. He's undeniably one of the greatest scorers ever.

3ball always talks about him lol
Makes sense...in his 19 seasons or whatever, has he actually ever had a young side kick that developed next to him?
No...partly because he either trades them away at the start...or he diminishes their growth.
What kind of retarded thread is this? You are seriously asking if a player who is 5th all-time in PPG on great efficiency is a great scorer?
This is who Bron haters label as the smartest guy on ISH? LOL. If that's the guy you look up to, it just shows most Bron haters here are really low IQ.

And he has once again backed himself into a corner where LeBron, who’s not a great scorer according to him, averages more ppg than literally everybody in his top 10 besides Jordan :lol Which means for the guy who’s entire arguments boil down to ppg and scoring, 9 of the players in his top 10 are not great scorers according to him.
Bronie logic...
Karl Malone has more career points than MJ so obviously he's the better scorer.
:facepalm

Ball-dominators like Lebron can't win while carrying the scoring load against top teams (too ball-dominant) and therefore need all-time scoring help
It's literally a shit brand of ball that needs a ton of scoring help (needs goat help) yet STILL has a lottery record on the championship level
Unlike expert jumpshooters (Curry, MJ), ball-dominators like Lebron lack the efficiency, brand of ball and elite jumpshooting skill to defeat maximum defensive attention (carry scoring load in Finals) - the inability of ball-dominators to successfully carry the scoring load against top teams requires goat scoring help like Kareem or Wade and cannot win with secondary producers like Wiggins or Pippen.
Ultimately, GM's love to build teams with cheap defenders but this requires a 1st option that can carry the scoring load like Curry or MJ, whereas Lebron forces GM's to find expensive scoring help to support his inferior brand of ball.

If a player needs to be the biggest ball-dominator EVER.... and the biggest turnover machine EVER.... and yield an inferior brand of ball that 1) has a lottery record on the championship level REGARDLESS OF CAST and 2) turns favored talent (preseason favorite) into underdog or loser for 6 straight years (11-16')
than who gives a shit about his scoring.. :confusedshrug:.
Lebron was just another 1-trick pony like Iverson or Dwight and just another losing ball-dominator like CP3 or Luka until the "decision" to manufacture a resume
He was just like those guys until he decided to consolidate power in the conference by teaming up with the top 2 first options in the conference
He literally hand-picked the preseason favorite for 6 straight years (11-16') but then complained about "comp" after his favored teams fell to Finals underdog or loser all 6 years (weak brand of ball).. However, the "comp" argument doesn't work for the preseason favorite, since that rewards underachieving the expectation.. Lebron had the preseason favorite in 2016, so he should've been flirting with 70 wins like expert jumpershooters Curry & Kawhi (better brands of ball = higher team ceiling).
OP is the Lebron James of ISH.
I look at Lebron like Perimeter Shaq. Both guys mastered scoring consistently 6-8 points a quarter and had their fair share of 15-24 point quarters.
Lebron is a great scorer. Averaged 20PPG in a slower paced league as a rookie and adjusted as the league sped up. A guy who has averaged 27 consistenty and has been averaged 30+ in his 20's and also 30's can't deny his ability to score the ball.
He's a not a greater scorer than Kobe, MJ, or KD.
