Kareem played most of his career with the 2 point rule no matter how far you was from the basket. A lot of Lebron's points came from 3 point range but not all. So did he really break Kareem Abdul-Jabbar record. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Throw in 4 years of college for Kareem when he clearly could have walked into the league and put up points at 18.

Folks tend to think of Kareem as old man Laker Kareem — they forget the 7ft gazelle Lew Alcindor who was just such a beautiful/graceful athlete.

My thoughts exactly.

Michael Jordan + Kobe Bryant = 1 Postseason triple double combined (Jordan = 1).

LeBron James?

28!!!!

He's the greatest overall basketball player of All-Time once factoring in all of Scoring/Rebounding/Assisting/Defending (combined).

It's not even an argument anymore.

And don't focus too much on LeBron's current All-Time NBA Rankings.

Because he's got at least another 5+ years of NBA action left in his tank; he just turned 38 but yet he's still currently averaging 30 Points/8 Rebounds/7 Assists/1 Steal @ .508% from the field?

This isn't "longevity". This is All-World. And there's a difference. Because LeBron James is STILL IN HIS PRIME and it's nuts because his 2022-2023 production looks exactly the same as it's always been (during his Miami Heat days etc). This isn't "old man stat padding" that we're used to. This is generational greatness.

He's unreal.

Not even Michael Jordan was sniffing this type of production @ 38 years old. Not even @ 33-34 MJ wasn't. This is scary.
