[@jackyparkchan7762]

Fun fact: 1. The player with the most point (Lebron) and the most triple double (Westbrook) in NBA history are on the same time. (Mission accomplished. Both of them can be traded) 2. The top three scoring leaders in NBA history are all having their record on Lakers. (I find it disturbing as a Celtics fan…) 3. (Judging by on court performance only without off court issue) The goat of the goats (All equal. No argument between who is better): Lebron (First pick in NBA draft), Jordan (Third pick in NBA draft) and Kobe (Thirteen pick in NBA draft). I feel like Kobe’s accomplishment is between Lebron and Jordan (1+ 3=13). Kobe is between Lebron and Jordan in all time scoring list (Lebron: 1, Kobe: 4, Jordan: 5) and number of championships (Lebron: 4, Kobe: 5, Jordan: 6). (Weird…) PS: I wrote it yesterday and Westbrook being traded today...

[@jarheadgwapito7118]

[@1504Shawn]

OBJECTIVE FACT: LeBron played his whole carreer with 3 point line ( And in a NBA era where everything is free throw line) Kareem played half his carreer without 3 point shoot, so Kareem's scoring achievment is way more impressive And also: 6x rings and 6 MVPs >>> 4x rings and 4 MVPs

Kareem breaks the record, the team celebrates. Lebron breaks the record, Lebron celebrates.

[@w_out7631]

Well there's a big difference between breaking Wilt's record, someone Kareem's played against, someone from his era vs. Lebron breaking a record that hasn't been broken in FORTY YEARS and held by someone by that time as high as Kareem. Lebron's record break definitely has a bigger splash than Kareem's cause Wilt's wasn't held for that long but Kareem's was held for 4 decades.
