It's not indisputable whatsoever. Agreed. When I think of GOAT, I think of who was the best when they were at their peak. LeBron's career has been amazing but breaking the scoring record was more about longevity than anything. Unless you previously thought Kareem was the GOAT, not sure tonight changes anything. 1-2 more championships would mean more for his legacy than the scoring record, IMO.

Mox Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 LeBron has nearly 50% more career points than Durant. It's unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, no one sane will argue that MJ's legacy/narrative from the two threepeats can be topped. I don't blame people for thinking that **** doesn't matter and that LeBron is just better because he's better...but it's not like he has some slam dunk statistical case.

TitanSlim Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 At the level Lebron continues to play at, load management being a thing now and just the overall longevity of his career, Lebron will most likely hold the scoring record longer than Kareem.

That's the thing. If you're under 39 (like me) this may be the only scoring leader change in our lifetime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who knows, maybe when Luka's 40 the league'll become plodding and big again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only statistical case he has is his longevity. But I think Jordan's status as the GOAT is basically set in stone because of his impact on culture and the world outside of basketball.

He'll have to stay above 30 every year forever. At least LeBron leveled out at 27ish after he won his first scoring title, but he also came into the league a little younger and was more durable at the same age.

It's not gonna happen, but he's the only guy we've heard of who can even theoretically come close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
