Insane that LeBron is gonna pass Kareem’s points total. I never thought that

Helps that Lebron has had the 3pt line his entire career while Kareem did not.

Kareem wouldn't have taken that shot

That's one way to look at it. The other is to consider that LeBron's 3-point

1/28/23 7:37pm

Lebron made 2222 career 3-point shots prior to tonight. That would mean without

Well done! Now do LeBron starting his career at the same age Kareem did.

1/28/23 8:13pm

Why

Making it an even better apples-to-apples comparison

1/28/23 8:14pm

I don't think that makes it a better comparison.

This logic is flawed. Without the 3 pt shot, LeBron would take more 2

1/28/23 8:20pm

I'm just doing straight points. I don't care about the hypothetical butterfly

Also, my point was that Lebron would be passing Kareem even without the 3PT line

benny1982

He took like 1 3 pointer even when there was a 3-pt line. Wouldn't have mattered

Kareem went to college

And, Kareem doesn't say stupid stuff like LeBron

1/28/23 7:38pm

That’s worth at least 10k points.

1/28/23 7:41pm

This will confirm LeBron’s the GOAT

You are a rabble-rouser!

TRT, stuff works.

Trivia question, who was the opponent & city/arena when Kareem became #1?

Wasn’t against the Jazz in Vegas? Good old days.

Correct - hook shot over a young Mark Eaton, when the Jazz still played 10

Kareem has been the league’s all time leading scorer for over half of the NBA’s existence. It’sa huge achievement
