LeBron James - The countdown pt 2. Road to 40,000

[Knightfall]

I say he passes Kareem at game 70. Could obviously happen sooner but I'm accounting for potential small injuries that make him miss back to backs and random games here and there.

Well if he averages 30ppg like he did last year it would be game 45. 27ppg (his LAL average) would be game 50. 'I do not see his ppg dropping much below 25ppg which would be game 53. SO you are guessing he misses roughly 25% of the season?

25% of games missed and 25 ppg sounds right. I'm expecting him to play around 60 games.

On the number of games played that's actually a pretty fair assessment. Depending on how the season goes and at his age I see him playing anywhere between 60 to 70 games. More so to the lower end of that total.

With 31 points in a loss to the champs, the Warriors, Lebron finished the night with his total now at 37,093, leaving him 1,294 points shy of the record.

Next game Thursday 10 PM est. Vs the Clippers.

Can anyone imagine the day when Lebron comes off the bench as a 6th man of the year or will he retire before that happens? Who in NBA history have played beyond 20 years?

Most seasons in NBA
21 years - Dirk, KG, Robert Parish.
22 years. Vince Carter.

Interesting. Most Games played in NBA.
1. Parish - 1,611
2. Kareem - 1,560
.
15 - Lebron - 1,367

Minutes played NBA.
1- Kareem - 57,446
2 - K. Malone - 54,852
3- Lebron - 52,139

Haslem might get the most seasons played though in the end. I think the Heat are going to give him a spot until further notice.

That may happen as Haslem is on season 20 now.

It's just wild to think that, the next person down the line to eventually break LeBron scoring record will have to have an absolutely legendary body of work. And they'll have to play for 20 years, without major injury.

Just think about that, we may not ever see that record broken, or at least not for a few more generations, given there aren't any rules changes or 4 point lines implemented.

Are there any current players who are even on track to reach 40k?

LeBron's the legend man, I'm happy to have watched his entire career, even if he was the enemy.

That player possibly hasn't been born yet. And no. No one is on pace to get to 40k but Lebron. Maybe Durant, but he's need no injuries and play till he's about 43.

[Knightfall]

With 31 points tonight we move closer pretty quick to seeing Lebron break the scoring record. Just 1244 points more and he does it.

Kareem - 38,387

[John Murdoch]

Houston Harden was on pace to get there AND be top 10 in assist

[Knightfall]

With 17 vs the Jazz and 27 vs the Cavs for a combined 44 points Lebron moves closer to the all time mark.

Kareem 38,387
Lebron 37, 281

Lebron is now 1,106 points behind the record.

Next Game vs the Jazz on Monday at 10:30 pm est.

Somewhere between 4 - 6 games we will be in the tripple digits from the record.

[zimpy27]

Needs 44 more games at this pace...

[Knightfall]

Needs 44 more games at this pace...

That could be a good question. Will Lebron break the record in over/under 44 games? (After this point)

Im just doing some hypothetical math here..

Let say no major injuries,
Plays approx 65-70 games per season
one example below is
avg points starting w
next season 22-23: 25pts
23-24: 22 pts
24-25: 20 pts
25-26: 17 pts
retires
.
.
.
he can possibly rack up 44,000 + points by the time he retires.

He can't even average 25 ppg this season... Next season he will drop like stone possibly bellow 20 ppg.

I don't get this post the guys is avg 24 as we speak on a small sample size. The guy could easily avg 25, hell even 30 is still possible although not likely.
