LeBron James reaches 40,000 points.
Currently sitting at 39,747 points after tonight's game.
At his current season 25 PPG average, we should see him reach it in the next 10 or 11 games he plays.

Jordan couldn’t. If he was the hyper competitive person that everyone thinks he was, don’t you think he’d want to finish on top of all of the record books, especially scoring? Kelly slater didn’t need to win as many championships as the 2-4 combined, Michael Phelps didn’t need to smash the gold medal record, Jerry rice didn’t need to smash the all time receiving record, but they did because they could. Either Jordan knew he couldn’t do it so he retired early, or he was unable to because he had to quit multiple times, or he just wasn’t the competitor all other greats were. Your choice

Re: LeBron James is 253 points away from 40,000.
Jordan had a mental breakdown during the end of his first threepeat.
That's why he quit. He did come back strong, but he absolutely broke and quit.
"Nothing left to prove"....dude wasn't even the consensus best player of all time after 1993, not even in the eyes of boomers and boomer bootlickers.
Pretending he could have put up 40K points is comedy, but believing he could put up 10K assists/rebounds is high comedy.

No, Jordan didn't "need" to break 'stat' records... plus he was also vocal, stating over and over and over again throughout his entire career that Winning is what matters to him, not stats.wailuaFC wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 1:14 amJordan couldn’t.

But for the sake of argument, Jordan retired in 1998 roughly 9,000 Points shy of Kareem. That's about 1,800 points per season over a 5-year span. To put in perspective, MJ scored 2,357 points in 1998.
So... you actually believe that Jordan wasn't capable of scoring (on average) 1,800-points per season from 99 - 03 if all that mattered to him was hanging around long enough to break Jabbar's record?
lol... surely you jest AND clearly you don't know what Mike was all about. Chasing stat records definitely was not 'his thing'.
Guys like LeBron "have to" chase records because they weren't good enough to accomplish in 20 years what Mike did in 11 full seasons with the Bulls.

Re: LeBron James is 253 points away from 40,000.
No amount of trolling or "fake stat" guesswork will ever change the fact that Jordan is STILL "the" Gold Standard which ALL players are compared to and measured... and so far not one player has been able to touch the total package of the GOAT MJ.Bush4Ever. wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 4:39 am Jordan had a mental breakdown during the end of his first threepeat.

You may be able to use your fake stats to show Player A, B, and C had a "more efficient" this or a "better that" than Jordan, however when you look at the total package (ie; raw stats, fake stats, awards, accomplishments, production vs. peers, times keading the league, records set, team success, clutchness, 2-way dominance, etc. etc... all that combined) you just do like the rest: Flip-flop around like a fish out of water because you know TDK is correct.
As per usual.
DIscuss why that truth seems to bother you so much.

I think Lebron would trade points, rebounds and assists for two more rings. At least the one he choked his chicken on.

LeBron is by far the best basketball player who ever lived.
Re: LeBron James is 253 points away from 40,000.
He doesn't impress me at all, he took himself out of goat discussions the moment he colluded in Miami. That's cowardly shit, no matter how you slice it.
On top of that he's a detestable human being, people used to say Kobe was contrived but LeBron is much worse, I don't even know how he has fans.

Agreed... and then he proceeded to humiliate himself in the 2011 Finals, not to mention he needed a miracle "bail-out" shot from a teammate AND a Covid pandemic to win half of his Championships.xer0 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 1:43 pm He doesn't impress me at all, he took himself out of goat discussions the moment he colluded in Miami.

He's the GOAT "only" if someone wonders what he smells like after a game.

Re: LeBron James is 253 points away from 40,000.
Good point, I guess he just didn’t have the competitive fire to go after the all time greats. He didn’t want to win more than Kareem or Russell. He could have if he really wanted to, but he just didn’t want to. He was happy being a rung or two below the greatest winners ever, he just didn’t have the drive to be the best and that’s ok.thedangerouskitchen wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 10:52 amNo, Jordan didn't "need" to break 'stat' records... plus he was also vocal, stating over and over and over again throughout his entire career that Winning is what matters to him, not stats.wailuaFC wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 1:14 amJordan couldn’t.

Amazing how Jordan's competitiveness got snuffed out every year he didn't play with Scottie Pippen, to the point he couldn't generate a winning regular season or win a playoff series in five seasons.
Crazy how that works
lol

This thread has made me think differently about Michael Jordan. The marketing behind Jordan really made me believe he was something he wasn't
