Can LeBron's Scoring Record Ever Be Broken?

[@choppertbag]

i stumbled across this and if this show is like this all the time consider me a LIFER, love everything about these guys, straight up Richard is a real one.

[@blasianray]

Truth or Trash is such a solid concept! Big fan of the depth of conversation that emerges from questions that are thought provoking but not always at the forefront of the nba conversation

[@conlanchastain3708]

I think we are severely underestimating how long a lifetime is. In one lifetime someone could have seen Wilt, Kareem and LeBron all hold the scoring record. If you’re young enough right now you could still see maybe 2 or 3 other players break the record. A lot will change in the next ~80 years. Wilt set the record in 1966. Yes, that was a long time ago. But it was also only 57 years ago. Almost the entirety of basketball has happened in one lifetime thus far

[@bware82]

I think they meant "their" lifetime not in "a" lifetime, and followed it by saying they don't think there is a player young enough with the skillset to do it in the next 25 years.

[@tadah21]

I knew jabber held record and broke wilts but only saw wilt walk around garden as retired old man

[@dezz8598]

You just completely disregarded the fact that Kareem had that record for over 40 of those 57 years. The next person who breaks it will literally have to average over 30ppg for over 20 years playing 70 games year in year out with no catastrophic or major injuries. The record is already out of reach for 98% of the league and he’s about to blow it into the water in 2-3 years.

[@Mellowyellow8888]

@@dezz8598 only way that record is broken is some rule change.. as ridiculous as it sounds.. maybe someone suggest a 4 pointer.. but otherwise.. health and motivation is what would prevent someone from trying to break that record..

16:19 you said "we did not have those expectations from lebron" - Yeah we did though, we all read about some 16 year old playing pickup games with pros and dunking on them. We had those expectations, absolutely. Also, the scoring record that was broken, was initially held by a player who had the combination of the most unstoppable height+body+SHOT to this day (as opposed to the most unstoppable height/body in Wilt). Another MASSIVE point is this - Lebron is FOURTH ALL TIME for ASSISTS. Think about that, you can't score points for yourself if you give an assist. For those who don't quite understand how much better Lebron is than every single basketball player by a mile, here's a new stat: Let's say on average, an assist gives 2.2 points (2 most often, and sometimes a 3 pointer, but let's just give it 2.2 because I couldn't find someone with the actual number, so it sounds fair). Lebron = 38652 + (10420*2.2) = 61,675 = point value for player Kareem = 38387 + (5660*2.2) = 50,839 point value for player Michael = 32292 + (5633*2.2) = 44,684.6 point value for player Kobe = 33643 + (6306*2.2) = 47,516.2 point value for player. Wilt = 31419 + (4598*2.2) = 41,534.6 point value (might be slightly off due to averaging GP+avg assists). I don't think anyone can really grasp how lebron is far and away the absolute greatest player to have on the court, ever. LOL, he's also 9th all-time in steals. The only real argument that could be had, is if you add rebounds - which Kareem had 17,440, wilt had 23,924 (jesus god in heaven?), and lebron only has 10,667. Even if you give a rebound a point value of just "1", then Wilt and Kareem are technically still far behind Lebron.

[@xSkidMarx]

How come this show is so short compared to Gilbert’s Arena?

[@GethWho]

on the scoring, agree, no one is catching Le Bron. IMHO the closest currently playing (and he as already said there is no way he's is playing that long), is LUKA - he's on 9000 point at career average of 27.6. so in theory he can get 1900 a season, and needs to play another 19 seasons to get to 45K - which puts him at age 43....

[@seowth]

Old man Luka is a funny concept

[@CRubey23]

Luka is the only person in the league with a chance, but I think Jmxyhighroller did a video about it and I’m pretty sure he’s off pace compared to LeBron by a good amount. Plus Luka has had issues with injuries. I think he’s played 70+ games in a season 1x(his rookie season) and every other season he’s played 60-69 games a season. Say what you want about LeBron and load managing/resting, but he played 70-82 games every year besides one(2011 lockout and he still played all 62) until he got to LA.

[@michaelgray4552]

To me even if someone breaks the scoring record, you probably still won't have more total points. It's just insane. When he retires, he will slowly start over taking Jordan as everyone #1.

[@joshhighlights3310]

the real problem its play those years without injuries and be consistent. that's not easy.

[@Munchkkinz]

the most insane part is lebrons never averaged less than 20 and he came in doing at 18! someone else having to come in and average 20 every season for 20 years is unreal

[@Mthreetimes_]

And that still won’t be enough bro

[@SomeChink]

with load management it won’t happen any time soon, if at all

Bucks over Lakers is crazy. and after the trade deadline they were a top 4 team in the league

[@jordanyoung6385]

Lebron is the youngest to every milestone

[@scandelez]

Kelly oubre just averaged 20 ppg last year. What is rj talking about??

[@pabloEscobar-hy9jo]

Love it here !!!

[@tonybayarea]

The news said the other day that the Beach's Florida had like 90 F water at their beaches. Who wants to swim in water that hot.

[@jourdansarpy4935]

I feel like Lebron will be setting screens for one of his sons until he’s like 45.

[@B.Piercesports]

My sons kids will be here cause my kids wont see it either.

[@d4v1do]

The next Lebron has probably just been born tbh

[@B.Piercesports]

​@@d4v1do20 years 27ppg no injuries til year 16 nope

[@fekkim1]

They gonna have to add 4 point bucket to pass Lebron.

[@tonybayarea]

Victor Wembanyama would be 45 years old in (2050), would need to play 27 years in the NBA to pass Lebron's scoring record. Lol

[@horstdietrich1382]

❤ A Like just for the love, Rich!

[@DreJr]

Definitely the beach for me. Pools are ok though.

[@spazniik_gaming3356]

I think it will be cause of the way the league is so offensive centric I think if Luka continues to score like this he can break it if he plays enough

[@lukaszmalinowski8675]

Bro's you forgot that NBA killed defence ..... They allow traveling , and now the games will be ending 150 to 148.... so the record will be broken easily....

[@jaydot4956]

Bro you don’t understand that somebody is going to have to average like 27 points right out the gate and do that for 23-25 years while being lucky enough to avoid major injuries. Ain’t nobody gonna do that any time soon no matter how bad the defense is.

[@nbaburn3569]

[@petervang8127]

Luka could

[@jaydot4956]

No he can’t, you really think Luka’s pudgy ass is going to play for 23-25 years while averaging 27 points and avoiding serious injury?

[@michaelgray4552]

Prob a wee bit far on the jokes lol.

[@easytiger266]

25:21 Yes there is a team that can beat those warriors or your shit ass lucky cavs. WTF kind of statement is that? No there wasn't a roster in an NBA team that could beat that warriors team that year, but we're talking about the entire WORLD. If you can handpick a bunch of players, there is a good probability can beat any team. NBA is the best league, true, but Noah's argument is not anymore ludicrous than theirs for them to scoff at him. Calling yourself a world champ, without it being a world contest is kinda strange. I understand the reasoning. But they need to stfu with the hubris. Also Having the best individual talents and having the best team are two separate things. Fiba bronze medal game had 19 nba players participating. The gold medal game had 7 nba players in rotation.

[@syc2543]

It needs 2 bastards to challenge each other like Messi-Cr7 did to beat Pele's records. Solo, it feels daunting but if you 2 dudes to average high numbers plus luck with injuries, they could possibly beat Bron's records

[@FortyNightsMusic]

Yes. It will be broken. Steph's 3 point record will be broken. John Stocktons assist record will be broken. The game grows, players get better. Records ALWAYS fall. Always.

[@cashgetscoochie1622]

Yeah you’re definitely not an athlete lol…. steph will probably break Steph’s record. That’s about it

[@FortyNightsMusic]

@@cashgetscoochie1622 You're welcome to your opinion. I'm welcome to mine.

[@dondreholmes4559]

Hot as ballsack😂😂😂😞

[@robbyrobinson4500]

Yes it will. Why? The NBA will take more and more defense out of the game. Let's be honest, Bron is amazing, but he does not break the record in the 80's and 90's. Not because he is not great, but they would not have let him score the type of baskets he got. Also there will be even better Mexican supplements that will allow future players to play until they are 45 at the top level. What? You don't actually think he is not taking performance enhancing drugs. Of course he is folks. So as less defense is played and better drugs are invented his record will be broken. Let's face it, he does not touch the record if Jordan took massive amounts of PED's and played for 25 yrs. What if Jordan blew his knee out and went straight to another country to have procedure's done that are not legal in U.S.

[@bware82]

The issues with trying to compare past eras with current ones or future ones is the fact that rules change but so does lifestyles and technology. you could even argue the competition is a lot better. I mean, a lot of pros back in the day had regular jobs... It's just odd ppl still try to bring up stuff like so & so couldn't do it in this or that era, because the past is the past and you gotta stop trying to live there.

[@jaydot4956]

Lebron got y’all thinking what he’s doing is normal. I highly doubt there is going to be another player that is lucky enough to avoid injury and play at an elite level for 20+ years.

[@bware82]

@@jaydot4956 People just keep trying to create ways to hate or bring others down. I'm not saying all the haters don't respect Lebron. People are so delusional about past eras and think ppl didn't take PEDs back in the day. Besides I think Lebron would do just as good if not better in other era's where he could use his body and size more.

[@Musa-ut6ce]

YOU ARE SENILE

[@gheegee8930]

I don’t agree that LBJ wouldn’t have the same success because if you remember: LBJ came into the NBA in 2003… The Malice in the Palace FIST FIGHT happened in 2004! LBJ is the only active player from that overlapped generation of tough ball and still started over 20ppg. If frame and conditioning would have made him just as tough. Jordansexuals and trolls don’t appreciate that yes he flops but, he literally have played more minutes than almost ANY PLAYER in NBA history with high production.

[@nbagoats4819]

Lebron plays in a weak era where unathletic European players dominate. He's played against more undrafted players than anyone in the past. Not to mention there's little to no defense nowdays.

[@CayMauzTheVlog]

Lebron might retire this year if bronny doesnt enter the draft.

[@Paul-wu7xd]

Wemby

[@Pigeoning]

This record is more a testament to the watering down of talent with expansion teams and weakening the rules to precipitate the next Jordan. Lebron is an all time great playing in the weakest era the league has ever known. Post AND1 NBA is a lesser sport and this is why you can't compare eras. Lebron wouldn't touch 30k if he played in the bird/magic/Jordan era.
