Wolves are looking very good against Warriors right now. Scary what the Wolves are going to be in a couple years, especially with another lottery pick.

I really dont want to see Warriors set the regular season win record. They are not on the same level as the Bulls imo.

Also I like the shout out Stein gave the Jazz in his review of Warriors winning 73 games.

Golden State's chances of winning 73 games from 59 percent likely to 48 percent, noting that the Warriors now need an 11-2 finish, with two more games left against San Antonio and a tricky trip to Utah on March 30 to deal with as well.

Where do you think LeBron will end up on the all time scoring and assists lists? Honestly, when looking at the numbers, I could see him ending his career as the top scorer of all time and third in assists.

I think he could even end up 2nd on the assists list.

I looked at it one time and thought it was most realistic that he would finish 3rd in scoring, top 10 in assists and top 50 in rebounds. Just that would be ridiculous, but 1st and 3rd? Yikes.

When I looked at it, all he would have to do is average 22 PPG and 6 APG for about 6 years and he would rank 1st and 3rd in those categories.

Averaging 6 APG will be no problem for LeBron, no matter his age.

He's been the youngest to reach every scoring mark, so I don't see how it's farfetched at all for him to eventually pass Kareem, especially when you consider the fact that he's been very healthy throughout his career and goes to the Finals continually.

Hell, he's on track to enter the top 10 scoring list (surpassing Hakeem) THIS SEASON.

IIRC, I only went 4 years out at that production, so I was pretty conservative. Under your calculations, I wonder how high he could get on the rebound list too.

He's still averaging 25 PPG. I figured he could maintain that maybe another two years, then have his production fall to around 22 PPG for two years, then down to 20 PPG for two years, which would leave him in the general area of 22 PPG over those 6 years. Seems pretty reasonable to me. Then I figured he could average about 82 games a season when you factor in the fact that there's a good chance he'll continue to play 20+ games every postseason; whatever games he misses during the regular season as he ages should be made up by playoff games.

22 PPG at 82 games per year gets him to #1 on the scoring list in about 6.5 years, iirc.

If anyone has a chance to pass Kareem, it's LeBron.
