Passes Jordan for the most 30-point games in NBA history. He's at 562. A pass-first guy about to set another scoring record in the NBA. The extent of his dominance is simply incredible.

Discuss.

This thread is about the 30-point game record. Simple as that. There's no need to get insecure and start bringing up unrelated records. Should I go into the all-time regular season and points records? No I don't think I will.

Control your urges and stay on topic.

Lebron being a past first guy is so overblown by his stans to make his scoring accomplishments look better lol. A guy that averages 27 points for his career is more than just a "pass first guy". He is a scorer whose also a very gifted passer. He is not John Stockton, who averages almost as many career assists as he does points.

As for the accomplishment itself, I'm honestly surprised he hasn't surpassed him already in 30 point games considering how many more games he's played in his career while still being able to put up the numbers he can at his age.

Amazing that Jordan still was leading Lebron despite playing what, 7-8 seasons less?

Congrats for all of the longevity records, like turnovers, missed field goals, points, and now 30 point games if he gets it.

Lebron's definitely not a top 5 scorer. All of Jordan, Wilt, Shaq, Jokic, Durant are better.
Many would argue Kobe as he clearly has a way better and more rounded skillset/footwork as well.
Lebron is better at picking/choosing, Kobe better at creating a shot in any scenario, midrange and free throws.

The one time Lebron was forced to put up more shots in the finals (to carry a team), he averaged 35 ppg but on .397 field goal percentage.

People here act like efficiency is everything when Lebron has always cherry picked. Well... The ability to create a shot in any situation is very important as well.
Lebron's gift is that he's an elite scorer and passer, like Jokic.

In how many games by comparison? Let's discuss. Also... "pass first"? Come on now.

It’s a little more nuanced than that. Jordan played a total of 1072 games and scored 30+ in 562 of those games. If Lebron played 1072 games, his 30 point total would be at 396. Lebron will end up with a lot of cumulative stat records but ZERO individual game, individual series or per game average records.

It's already over for some.

For some other it never will be over.

Only took him 17,500 games and 89 years to do it!

I wouldn’t put Joker in the top five scorers. LeBron’s close but I’d argue Kareem is in that top five range in his place.

In other words this thread is about a much less impressive record. That's ok, you bask in that while Jordan fans focus on the impressive records.

The fact that he is only passing this now is wild.

Jordans prime scoring years happened in an era that was 10% faster in pace than LeBrons prime scoring years.

27pts was worth 30pts
You look at games with 27 points or more and LeBron is already well ahead.

I know I am supposed to be impressive with LeBron but you’re telling me Jordan had that many 30 point games in his 15 year career?
