The double digits in 1140 straight games is the most impressive to me. Luka got hurt in the first quarter of a game last month without having scored, and that killed his streak. Amazing that something like that never happened to lebron

Some players get lucky with lack of injuries. Lebron is like that, as was Jordan, who in his prime, only had 1 major injury, and that kept him out for like 60 games. For whatever reason, some guys are almost immune to them, while others get bit the by injury bug.

One of my favorite Lebron facts is that when he got injured in 2021 for a couple months he only had 7 points in the game. However, as he was limping up the court they passed him the ball in the corner where he hit a one legged three to get 10 points and then subbed out. Also when he got ejected the one time in his career against the Pistons, he had exactly 10 points 😂

When I think of ball players I think of Jordan, Kobe, Iverson, Steve Nash, nawitzki, magic, etc etc etc.

Jxmmy is the goat of yt nba content but i disagree with this one. have you noticed stokton and malone's games played numbers. They are two examples of players that played non stop for almost 20 years. Think about the medical technology developing. Taller players last more bc they have this advance. Also think about the evolution of 3pt line. Look at the all time top 10 points leaders and notice how many 3pts half of them have scored. You see where this is going. One day, not so far from today a guy will step in have the playing longevity of today and even more as the med will provide (combined with his athletic state). Also when the organisation will choose the 4pt line will be there. i think Lebron will probably be the first breaking the 40,000 pts limit but the next one may break the 50,000 as we already have guys like steph, luka, trae, damian etc that are capable of scoring from such an extreme distance today. So what is expected is that one guy who will have the bag, distance scorring ability, physicallity and motivation. All that are in the hands of the nba organisation. If they wanna let the next point leader to be they will make rules that lead to softer defence and more productive offence. If they don't they will make the defence even harder. At this point i think non of them are necessery as the game have the attention needed. But economic crises may lead to a bad turn. If the game needs more attention meaning more money then something extrordinare have to happened and it will. And besides the bad ref calls i dig Adam Silver's work as much as jxmy's. Nba is in good hands.

Unless the league changes significantly (adding 4 point or 5 point lines, increasing mins per game, adding more games to a season, officiating changes etc...), this can't be broken at my lifetime. With scoring talent like Jordan, Kobe, Malone etc..and changes in how the games played and officiated, and it still took someone decades to surpass Kareen's record. No way anyone is breaking this without a bunch of external factors.

@@JR-wj9bh I mean, there are kids entering the league now, that shoot more 3's than Curry ever did at the same age, with pretty much the same efficiency. Of course, Curry will still be considered the GOAT shooter by many people, even if (when) someone breaks his 3Pt record. Just because he impacted and changed the game, and did it better than anyone before, when nobody was doing it. And Lebron's record is sure way harder to beat. But still, the evolution of the game makes it so that there are probably a few players that will beat Curry's record in the next 15 to 25 years. This reminds me of a fascinating story, of a man you may have heard of, called Roger Bannister: Before 1954, most sports specialists thought no human being could ever run a mile in less than 4 minutes. People wanted to do it since 1886, and nobody had ever succeeded, in 70 years of trying. Because it was "impossible". Then, in 1954, against all odds, Roger Bannister does run a mile in less than 4 minutes, for the first time in history. The interesting part is that, after he did, a lot of athletes around the world started doing it as well. The same year, in 1954, someone beat his 3:59 time. The next year, three other guys beat them... In the same race. And a thousand followed until now. Roger Bannister had just made the impossible, well, possible. I understand Lebron's record is a different situation, but my point is, someone probably, eventually will beat his record. But I might be wrong, and only time will tell :)

What you have to consider is that when that article came out of who had the best chance of breaking the record people emphasized that theyd have to keep a similar trajectory for years without injuries and little drop off which many deemed impossible, I think it’s more impressive when you had people like Colin Cowherd say that LeBron’s superstar career would’ve start to decline nearly a decade ago in 2015 when he turned 30, the biggest emphasis is that anyone can “disqualify” it by saying “it’s just a longevity record” but if you lived through the ups and downs of his career and you’re not a hater than you can admit the greatness of this record, from the many careers that could’ve been and where derailed by injuries LeBron is one of the few greats. As I become older I appreciate the game more than just the players, so I really look forward to see the rise and journey of the next great whoever it will be

I think his longevity must be taken into account. He took down raptors during the mesozoic era and was still around to defeat the celtics during the medieval period, giving him a career of well over 65 million years as a major world power. Some may point towards his inability to defeat large, highly trained troops of warriors in the series of wars from 1015-1018, but they fail to account for the fact that the range of their curry, as well as their natural gold reserves gave them a significant economic advantage, which was how they were able to dominate the third and fourth years of the war. However, I do think Jordan's ability to defeat the power of not just one sun, but several suns is a more impressive feat than Lebron defeating thunder itself, although victory against a force of nature is always tough.

Given LeBron isn’t done - 40,000 is a very real possibility and 50,000 combined Regular and Post Season isn’t out of the question - I think the most realistic case for someone beating it is massive rule changes, something stupid like adding a 4-point shot I believe that dating back to Wilt there has been legitimate candidates to beat the All-Time record. It is very likely that no one in the league at the time of LeBrons retirement will be close to 1. being on track, and 2. have a realistic chance to last long enough to beat it.

I'm from Cleveland, and I'll never forget the moment we found out the Cavs won the number one pick (which of course would be Lebron). My parents were inside watching, I was out on the driveway playing on our hoop (which was on a huge slope) and suddenly I started hearing huge screaming and yelling from inside the house. I was 8. I couldn't understand why they were so excited. The winning of the pick that would be LeBron is one of my earliest, solid memories 13 years later I got to watch CLE win the championship from inside the Q. I somehow got tickets from a friend. It was probably one of the most magical moments in Cleveland history. Hoping to see LeBron come back next year and bring it all full circle

On top of that, LeBron has played over half his career in an era where they score more points, games don't finish 90-80 anymore, they finish with 20-30% more points scored. Adjusted for pace no player comes close to MJs numbers, not even James Harden and he has been the best scorer of this generation about to retire.

This reminds me of the fascinating story of Roger Bannister: Before 1954, most sports specialists had come to the conclusion that no human being could ever run a mile in less than 4 minutes. People wanted to do it since probably at least 1886, everybody had tried, and yet nobody had ever succeeded, in about 70 years chasing that record. Because it was simply "impossible". Then comes the 6th of May, 1954, and against all odds, Roger Bannister does run a mile in less than 4 minutes, for the first time in history. Cool story, right? So what? Well, that's not the interesting part. The interesting part is that, after he did, a lot of athletes around the world started doing it as well. The same year, in 1954, someone beat his 3:59 time. The next year, three other guys beat them... In the same race. And a thousand followed until now. In 3 minutes and 59 seconds, Roger Bannister had just made the impossible, well, possible. He "made God bleed". Of course, I understand Lebron's record is a different situation, but my point is, someone, eventually, will probably beat his record. Because a lot of these crazy records often seem impossible to beat at the time, until someone inevitably does. It's the nature of human evolution. But I might be wrong, as often. Only time will tell :)

The 4-minute barrier is a bit mythologized. Those within the sport considered 4 minutes to be less impossible and more overdue when Bannister made his run. If not for WWII culling and distracting a generation of athletes, plus Sweden's Anderson and Hagg receiving bans from competition, the barrier most likely falls years earlier. Until those two events the record was falling incredible fast, from above 4m 10s as late as 1931 to 4m 1s in 1944. Not exactly indicative of a record with a mental barrier. Compare that to the 100m and Long Jump, which saw Jesse Owen's records remaining unsurpassed for 20 years since the mid-1930s in disciplines that drew much heavier competition.

I think the difference there is athletic capability evolving for a chance to do the extraordinary in one race at the height of a runner’s career. The scoring record isn’t just about the game’s evolution, it take’s timing, skill, and luck to be that good, that young, and for this long. It’s like Cal Ripken’s game’s played record.
As Jxmy said a player will have to come into the league already playing at a high level, not scoring 18 points his first 2 seasons until he gets acclimated. For those that did not see LeBron play the year he got drafted, he was expected to score 20+ a game for the Cavs and he did, and it went up from there. He took the Cav to the finals after three seasons when he was only 22 years old and already had over 6000 points.

@@renstein8210 that really is the perfect circumstance which will probably never be replicated, he had to have the ability to score over 20 points right away at 18 years old and few players ever were that talented at 18. I can see a player having a chance if they switch to what Europe does which allows players to go pro at 16, at 16 they'd not be expected to do much but they will have a couple of years to grow and maybe they will have a chance to be scoring at LeBron's level at 18. I really think the NBA should have some kind of program to start developing the best young players in the country/world by age 15 or 16.

As always, enjoyed all of your number crunching and statistical comparisons. Personally hope someone does make a serious move to close in on this scoring mark as that will have been quite the performance to enjoy watching for years. Another point which helped to propel LeBron's scoring was that his first several seasons in the league, his Cleveland Cavs had very minimal additional scoring options, so despite his desire to pass often he was required to take it upon himself to score. This situation will likely need to some degree be replicated for a player to surpass Lebron's career coring mark.

I drove from Houston to Dallas to watch my first live NBA game ever yesterday and man... what an experience. To see these players live on the court is so different. Luka, Kyrie, AD... but especially to see LeBron was amazing. An experience I am glad I finally got to have. And boi what a great game that was. I also got to see some of these fouls and even no calls on players that on t.v. look like nothing... yea no, these dudes do get hit pretty hard going into the lane when you see it in person. I wish I was old enough/in a better financial situation back when Kobe and Dwade were playing to see them live at least once too. Bron, Kobe and Dwade were my favorites ever to watch play. Started seriously watching the NBA around 05/06. Also it was interesting seeing the crowd react to LeBron live. You could tell his presence was felt around the arena. No joke. People love watching him play. When the game started it was all types of heckling that you would see on social media, you know the typical "cry baby" or "LeFraud" etc.. but you could tell they really do enjoy him being on the court. End of the game it was all cheers and excitement and running as close to the court as possible to get pictures and videos of him. Even the people who claim they hate him really do love him. It's hard to tell from social media but in person you see LeBron is really at that stage of his career where everyone is deep down a fan

@@SharksPro123 Jordan though has a higher PPG avg. during the regular season and the playoffs and the way in which Jordan got there overall is just as if not a little more impressive (3-peating... taking time off&steppingb ack- coming back and basically 3-peating directyl thereafter- and a 3peat is just incredibly hard to do- just ask the Warriors... luck that non of ur guys gets injured plays a significant role ofc. )- not to hat on LeBron- Jordan will remain the more iconic player I believe but however you value Championships/Final MVPS LeBron's maybe the more decorated player (mostly bc. of longevity ofc. but still)
I love the editing
The music like Bron is just pouring in points constantly then it starts slowing down Bron still dripping in points but slower climbing the steepest hill I love it like he won’t stop till he just literally can’t anymore❤🥹
Crazy how Melo was mentioned in that 2009 article. It's sad how some of the kids these days (14-16ish years old) never really got to watch Carmelo play basketball. It was incredible. The ultimate bucket getter at the time.

His playoffs tenure and scoring should be taken into consideration here as well. Not only he played for 20 seasons, but most of them were deep playoff runs, and half of them were Finals runs. No current player is anywhere close to breaking his Playoffs scoring record, a record he already set years ago.

That is what irks me. No one is talking about the total scoring! He score 7500, and MJ is 2nd at 5900. That by itself is an impossibility to break! The guy NEVER missed a playoff game while his team is in it. He missed playoffs for 4 seasons. I guess the new player to break his record can exploit that I guess.

Also, remember that LeBron is not a score-first guy. I think that helped his record a little. His opponents fear his passing more, and thus hoped that his scoring would not manifest in Ws. They did. It becomes more comical when considering that LeBron is at No 4 on the assists list.

The best NBA-related content creator, hands down. Jxmy, I don't even watch basketball but to not watch YOUR sht would simply be a disservice. I got chills, man. Bron said he felt no pressure 'cause he was doing what he loves and just as he inspired you to do what YOU love, you inspire me. Love the videos. Hope God keeps you healthy and passionate.

Man Kobe was what got me into basketball in his 08 run, I've always been fascinated with how Kobe carried himself and his drive and determination. Lebron holds these same values and sometimes he says stuff we don't agree with on Twitter, but haven't we all? His life is being carefully watched constantly and many of us would have even worse things pop up in the media if we were in his shoes. I think Lebron is the greatest basketball player we will see in our lifetime. RIP Kobe 💛💜

I always taught my kid when he got into sports that defense players are THE unsung heroes in all of sports. Imagine a poster shot of Reggie Miller denying Michael Jordan the ball. You'll never see it, but that's how the Pacers nearly dethroned the Bulls in the epic '98 eastern conference finals.

Can’t really include anyone who guarded Jordan because Jordan got the most preferentially biased treatment of any player in nba history. I’ve watched almost every game of Jordan’s, the amount of fouls that were called on his defender without actually touching Jordan are ridiculous. If you out a percentage on that amount I’d say about 60% of Jordan’s foul calls are phantom calls. Possibly higher.

@@Dudewheresmycar189 True, Jordan would have bought the refs all new cars so long as they gave him the calls. As Jeff Van Gundy put it, he was a con man as much as an athlete, or something like that.
