How is it possible that Carmelo has less points then Lebron who is not known to be a scorer????

lebron avg's 27 ppg vs Melo 25.

did you check this?

Dude!!!!! I simply asked the question because Carmelo has always been labeled as a scorer throughout his career and Lebron more as a Magic Johnson type.

yup. I figure he should be good for, at least, 1500 points a year for the next 5 years (barring any major injury or missed time). This would put him just under 30k and in the Top 10.

This does not including what he accumulates the remainder of this season and if he plays beyond the age of 36 (obviously).
