Incredible achievement. These records seemed untouchable when I was young.

I'm really going to miss LeBron when he retires. No one has ever lived up to the hype like this.

But seriously, I am talking about NOW. Who cares if he is breaking scoring records when his team may not even make the playoffs.

Is that not the definition of empty stats??

He’s 19 years in. At this point the career stats are the only thing left to accomplish.


He's no Tom Brady


How many minutes of football did Tom Brady play per game? Six?

That's not even two hours per season.

I'd say that Kareem and Gretzky did but other then that no and not with the same level of media attention at such a young age.

This isn't a record. He is the leading scorer in the playoffs and eventually break the regular-season record, too, but when did they start combining stats like this

Misses layups and free throws when it matters…

But hey he’s got the total record!

On Monday "Does beating Kareem's record push Lebron over MJ? Coming up next on Undisuputed!"

Don't all of you trip over yourselves while you rush to pay your respeks to the King.


The one thing I can never shake off: a 73 win team went crying to Durant to sign with them so they could beat lebron. That says so much about Lebron that a team who won 73 games knew it needed even more to beat him .

Not as unbreakable as his turnover record though.

He’s also missed the most free throws in the clutch (probably)

Congrats LeBron on surpassing the total points scored record.

GD makes me feel old as I never forget the first year he entered the NBA with hype.

Westbrook is already in striking distance (5th all-time) and Harden is flying up the ranks. Trae Young has more turnovers per game than any player in NBA history and Luka Doncic ain't far behind.

There's absolutely nobody playing today with even the smallest chance of surpassing LeBron's scoring numbers.

Spygate was his coach, and what if he had naked pictures of Gisele on his phone?
