40,000 points Club. Can LeBron do it???

[Lebron23]

Will LeBron become the only player in NBA History to score over 40,000 points??

[TheGoatest]

I think so. If you do the math, only injury could prevent him from achieving this insane milestone.

[Kiddlovesnets]

He can, but it will only get him to as far as 2nd greatest of all time.

[AirBonner]

He can, but it will only get him to as far as 2nd greatest of all time.

He already surpassed balden.

[Airupthere]

All that effort and longevity and still not consensus goat. I can understand why he is goat to stans, but I do see that Lebron is never considered goat by the majority.

It's like working extended hours at the office on a program that another genius finished in a half a day. You're hoping that your effort will be enough to be recognized alongside the genius that you compare yourself to.

[Kiddlovesnets]

He already surpassed balden.

He hasnt surpassed Kareem and Magic yet.

[TheGoatest]

He already surpassed balden.

Surpassed him in 2016 and still going strong half a decade later.

[SouBeachTalents]

He hasnt surpassed Kareem and Magic yet.

He surpassed Magic years ago, virtually every all time ranking will have LeBron ranked ahead of him

[clipps]

Probably not. Are we ever gonna have a normal 82 game season again?

[Axe]

If he keeps on playing for title contenders like he's usually done before, then mostly yes.

[dankok8]

Obviously. He could possibly get to 45,000.

[And1AllDay]

legoat extenddddddddddddddds himself longer

[Spurs m8]

Who even cares, really?

It's an empty longevity stat.

Give me all time averages and it becomes more interesting.

LeEmpty will spend the first 3 quarters of games trying to achieve these empty accolades because his finals record and on court skill doesn't put him anywhere near GOAT discussion

[TheGoatest]

He needs less than 5K for this incredible achievement.
He already said that he plans to play until Bronny starts to play in the NBA, that is at least 4 more seasons after this one.
Assuming he plays 70 games per season over those 4 seasons, he will need to average less than 17 ppg over those 280 games to get to 40K.
And we're talking about a guy who is putting up his 17th straight 25ppg season at the age of 36. Only a serious injury can stop this from happening.

WHAT. A. GOAT.
