Will LeBron James reach the NBA all-time scoring record?
James already has scored 6,307 total points and is averaging about 26.5 over his career (about 2100 points a year) in only his third year… and he is only 21 years old. It has been said many times that a player hits his peak about 28-30 in the NBA and then steadily declines from there, so Lebron considering that he hasn’t hit his prime yet LeBron could feasibly go for 35-37 points a game for 3-5 seasons, which is about 3000 total points if he plays every game. The record is 38,387 points by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. For LeBron to reak the record and accumulate, say 38,500 total points, lets say he plays until he is 35 years old, LeBron would have to average about 29.4 pts a game over his 16 seasons. If he played until he was 36 years old (17 seasons), LBJ would have to average 27.6pts a game. Considering that he just finished averaging 31.4 as a twenty-one year old, I think LeBron is in for some seasons where he puts up at least 34ppg, I think, barring huge injuries, it’s entirely possible
