How Many Of You Has Realized How Phenomenal LeBron James Is?

[countonbuckets]

I Admit That I Didn't Like His Announcement On ESPN Because It Was A Slap In Cleveland's Fans Faces. Choosing To Go Too Miami Was Enough. But Over The Last Two Seasons This Guy Has Been The Best Player I've Seen Since Michael Jordan. Kobe Bryant Is So Offensively Gifted And Has All The Shots But He Just Doesn't Control An Entire Game Like James Is Doing And He Never Has Even With Shaq. Sometimes I Find I Am Taking Watching LeBron For Granted But I Am Enjoying This Ride Even Though I Am A Jazz Fan Threw And Threw.

Wait, are you my alt? Because you read my mind.

...I have been on record saying that if Lebron stays healthy, he will break any and all of Michael Jordans individual records....but will not top him in NBA championships. Lebron is bigger, taller, faster, stronger, and almost as quick as Jordan was. However, Lebron will never catch Karl Malone or Jabbar for most points scored or most rebounds grabbed. Nor will he ever catch Stockton for most assists or steals. Of course they play different positions.....and Lebron is a freak of nature for sure! But that's my take on the man-child!

Um, sir. Lebron is great yeah but you know you don't have to capitalize the first letter of every word.

You do if you are trying to prove you're not an alt.

Thats a smart move actually. Other alts who give themselves away so easily should take an example from this man.

At LeBron's current pace he would pass Malone in 7.5 seasons in points. Which would put him at the ripe old age of 35. #3 all time in points per game average.
About 8ish season at his current pace to pass 10,000 assists. Won't ever catch Stockton. But it would put it him as the 6th player with 10k or more.

Staggering Numbers

I haven't watched him. Is he pretty good?

.....I think you better check those numbers again! I can hardly believe that Lebron could catch Karl in total points in 7.5 seasons with his current scoring pace! Karl played almost 20 years! He was piling up tons of points with the assistance of John Stockton! Lebron has scored most of his points going one on one! That will also continue. Not going to catch Malone with out getting easy baskets from a point guard like Stockton!

Malone 36,928
James 20,858
---------------
16,070

Career ppg average for LeBron 27.6.

16,070/27.6 = 582 games. 582/82 = 7.09 seasons.
16,070/24 = 8.1 seasons.
16,070/20 = 9.7 seasons

If Lebron plays 10 more years or until he is 38 and averages 20 or more he would pass Malone.

...ok sports fanz, I did some checking and here's the scoop! Lebron is NOT EVER going to catch Karl Malone in points scored!!! Here's why. Lebron is averaging 27 points a game for his career. To catch Malone he would have to continue to average that many points for the next 600 games of his NBA career. Malone averaged 25 points per game playing 1,476 games. No way Lebron averages 27 points for his next 600 games! Not going to happen, even if he stays completely healthy, which would mean he would have to stay healthier than Malone did! Granted, Lebron is one heck of a physical specimen.....but to think he is or will be physically gifted more than Karl was is ludicrous! And then there's this: As his body get's older and all that tattoo ink takes it's toll.....you can bet he will run into health issues that never plagued Karl!
