[QUOTE=Poetry]Sweetness & Barry Sanders > Emmitt Smith[/QUOTE]
This exactly :bowdown:
It took Smith more seasons than what Sweetness and Sanders played to surpass them.
Not impressed when it will take Kobe like almost half a decade more of seasons played to surpass MJ :oldlol:
[QUOTE=TheMan]
MJ still gon' rock the GOAT career pts per gm avg doe[/QUOTE]
This dude played baseball for the last 2x seasons of his physical prime in '94 or '95. Both seasons would've averaged around 32 ppg. As he did the previous season in 1993, and in 1996 averaged near 31 ppg.
Then if he lingered during his twilight years just to chase all-time scoring records, and not compete for championships ... you're talking 25 ppg - 29 ppg averages for 1999, 2000, and 2001. He'd easily be in first place all-tme. No contest.
:facepalm

Don't forget his second season where he got injured. That could be another 28+ ppg, 2500+ points.

Even with all that he's is #1 pts per gm avg doe, right?
he played a few years in college and retired early... doesn't mean he isn't the goat.
Jordan played in a extremely fast paced era, where every wing was averaging 50%+ FG, and jacking up 25+ shots look it up if you dont believe me :facepalm
Any wing scorer nowadays could easily drop 30+ in that era
Dont see the big deal with MJ

Yeah, and they actually had big time centers in that era like ewing, o'neal, olajuwon, daugherty, need i go on who protected the basket. Hand checking rule is also a factor, the league is way softer now.
[QUOTE=Nowitness]so what? fisher is lower on the scoring list than kobe but he's ranked higher all time;
-both had comparable success in their primes
-fish is still competing however. kobe hasn't played a playoff game in about a half decade.[/QUOTE]
2 years man, 1 if he wasn't injured
fisher is retired you dumbass
and less than half a decade ago he won b2b
foh
[QUOTE=knicksman]whats with this Jordan hate.. LOOks like OP forgot how kobe was a first round loser without a big man. Either Pau/Bynum/Shaq[/QUOTE]
Stop making stuff up, he wasn't a first round loser without a big man.
He was in the lottery.

Love this gif but where the hell is it from? :lol
Meanwhile, Kobe at no risk of getting kicked out of the top of FGA missed all time any time soon. GodBe, MissBe, ChuckBe. :cheers:
[QUOTE=kennethgriffin].....career scorers of all time
Jordans 32,292 won't hold up
kobes on pace to pass jordan this year
Dirk has 27k at 35 years old. he's gonna pass jordan at age 39 ( atleast 1500 points per season )
[B]Lebron has 23k at 29 years old. he's gonna pass jordan at age 35 or 36 like kobe[/B]
durant has 15k at 25 years old. he's gonna pass jordan at age 34 or 35
and who knows whats ahead for a guy like steph curry. even melo has an outside chance if he hangs on till age 38 )
then what if wiggins takes off.
man i dont think jordan will be in the top 10 after a few generations pass
:oldlol:[/QUOTE]
Nah, that means Lebron will average only 18 ppg every season starting from next year until he is ~36 years old......
The reality is he will more likely average more than that, much more than that, he will at his current pace reach 33k in 4 years, max 5 if he averages only 24 ppg.... by the time he is 36 he will be more closer to 40k points, unfortunately.... afterall being the youngest to every scoring total he is on best scoring pace in NBA history, he is actually so far ahead that he can afford to from now on average 19 ppg until he retires and still surpass Kareem, think about that one ... the funny part is he aint even a pure/strict scorer offensively....

5 Finals appearances.... 2 rings/2 fmvps... 4 mvps.... top 10.... by the age of 29.... on pace to very easily shatter Kareems scoring total (not to mention much else).....
Sure is amusing.... :bowdown:
