- Lebron's all-time scoring record is claimed by many to be "unbreakable." But how true is that? These are 5 players that I think could potentially pass Lebron's scoring record!

Did you crunch the numbers though? Some of these players would have to play till they're 40 just to approach the record
I actually did crunch the numbers and came to the same conclusion. That's why I opted for younger players, since I can somewhat factor in their potential scoring improvement over time to maybe approach the record earlier than their expected pace, if tht makes sense? But yea, realistically Lebron's longevity will be hard to replicate and will make the record borderline impossible to reach. 20+ years of elite productivity is actually insane. I think the only guy with a legitimate shot as of now is Luka
Who knows how much rehabilitation, physiotherapy, sports med, and PEDs will improve over the next 20 years
@@biggravy7329 very true!
Notbsome of them. All of them would have to play at above being 40 years.
@@HeatCheckProductionsLuka already at his age has 800 points less than Lebron at the same age... Luka is not beating that record.
Dude is on drugs, I don't know how ppl can't see it.
The NBA has been hiding it
One day we will know the truth
If he uses steroids he shouldn't be allowed to be inducted to the Hall of Fame
Definitely agree with ur list keep the videos coming 🏀
More to come for sure!
A factor I think also needs to be considered is LeBrons multiple deep playoff runs.
If you take another scorer who's had a healthy 21 season career with similar averages but very few deep playoff runs, he'd be at least 5000 points behind Bron.
Forgot to mention this in the video, but i'm referring Lebron's regular season points record in the video, postseason points were not included. You make a very valid point though and I definitely would've considered playoff runs if I was looking at postseason points as well!
The playoff runs is actually a disadvantage for LeBron if his only goal is the regular season scoring record. Playoffs add wear and tear to the body. If he is resting during playoffs he might have 43k by now.
Hey everyone! Just a quick clarification that I forgot to mention in the video: Lebron's scoring record I'm referring to in this video is strictly the regular season points record, playoff points were not taken into consideration. The list likely would've looked a bit different if I was looking at regular season and playoff points.
This video was so good. When I subscribed, I was surprised to see how few videos and subs you had. Keep this quality of video with such good takes and you'll go far 🙏
Appreciate the love!
Bro, not Zion who already missed a ton of games. LeBron always plays at least 75 if he's not hurt.
u forgot to account that the reason played only 60-65 seasons for most of those szns is cause of…covid and having shortened szns
Good point! Covid was a crazy time for the NBA
Luka is in his own league for contention right now. He is the best scorer among all of them and his playstyle shoots longevity. But he will certainly not break it, he dœsn't want to play for that long
That could very well be true. Hopefully he decides to stick around the NBA for awhile though!
@@HeatCheckProductions I hope so too! 10 more years would be cool. At least 2 MVPs, 1 or 2 FMVPs, couple of scoring titles, and he will be a top 15 player of all time for me
love the video but if you take one thing to account the person who can hypothetically break the record isn’t in the league rn everyone you mentioned is off paced to break it
Glad you enjoyed the vid! I think statistically Luka is the only one actually on pace to contend with the record. The real challenge comes with maintaining that pace for 15+ more years. Bron is simply in a league of his own rn when it comes to longevity
@@HeatCheckProductions even luka is not on pace, not even close.
@@Florian-yk8vg Statistics wise, Luka is certainly in contention for Lebron's regular season scoring record. Like I said in the video tho, the only thing that holds Luka back is that he only averages around 60-65 games a season. But yea, if Luka doesn't consistently start playing 70+ games a season, then it'll be nearly impossible to catch the record
@@HeatCheckProductionssry but thats just not true. luka has 11,146 points as of today and he is 25 years old. lebron had almsot 14k points before his 25th birthday. thats more than a full season of high volume scoring more than luka has at the same age. luka is already behind, he would have to average a lot more points than lebron did for the next 15 years to even have a shot. like you said, he just already missed too many games. no way he catches lebron. noone currently in the league will (maybe MAYBE victor but i dont see it since he is a defense first player basically).
@@Florian-yk8vg Ur definitely right in saying Lebron has a seasons worth of high volume scoring lead on Luka. I had mentioned in the video that Lebron coming straight from highschool already gave him a "headstart" on everyone else, so I definitely agree with you there. My justification for Luka being somewhat in contention is due to his ability to put up higher scoring averages than Lebron ever has, and will likely continue to do so for a few more seasons. So he potentially can make up some ground there is essentially my main point, if that makes sense. Is it likely? Probably not. But theoretically if Luka can mostly maintain his current scoring averages and stay healthy, he certainly has a better shot than anyone else in the league rn
I don't think anyone of these players will break or even come close to breaking the Scoring Record. LeBron James is not done yet and will add more piles of dimes before he goes on and hang his jersey. I think it'll be done by half-cyborg players of the future where scores may inflate to insane levels that will bore people who will watch it, but if sports decides that it will remain an area that A.I. will not touch, only pure human domain then I think it will be hard since that person would have to be drafted when he is still 18 years old and continue that excellence for 20 years and more straight.
Very interesting theory regarding the half-cyborg players. Who knows how basketball and sports in general will look in the future!
Took you 4 minutes to name the first person could’ve cut down that intro by a lot
I appreciate the feedback! I usually try to keep my intro's pretty short but I felt this video needed some additional context, otherwise people would have more questions. But I knew not everyone would care for the context, which is why I mentioned a timestamp in the vid to skip to the list
I see what youre trying to do, and like the concept, but you missed key criteria. Bron has always been a playoff threat, adding dozens of additional games. Guys like Trae who dont play efficient, winning basketball, have almost no chance of breaking that record. Jayson Tatum being the flip side of this, as he has and will be playing deep into playoffs year after year. You have to factor in their history of/projected playoff contention. (Not going to get in to the fact that neither Trae nor Donovan are known as available stars, they miss a lot of games man)
Definitely some valid points. My mistake for not clarifying in the video, but the scoring record i'm referring to is the regular season points record. If postseason points were included then this list definitely would've looked a bit different
Scoring record means all points in regular season lool😂😂 not in general. Kareem was all time leader in scoring in regular season, nobody talked about his all time play off points. Play off is different story.
@@hristijandimitrovski8664Lebron has over 8k no one else even has 6k in the playoffs.
@@akeemmorrow9447 so? I never said anything about his play off scoring. What's your point? All I'm saying is that all time points are points that some player scored in regular season. Play off points don't count when we talk aboitall time record for most points in a season for example etc, etc. Play off is simply different story and play off points are something different.
27th sub
Yessir! appreciate the support
Zero point in are lifetime are breaking the record give it up
Durant, Curry, but most of all Luka if trend continues.
Curry literally no chance 😂😂he played soo long in this league and he hasn't much yime left and still he probably top 20 all time right now or maybe out of that. So no, Curry has 0 chances of breaking Lebron's record😂😂😂. KD could definitely have a relistic chance to do it if he wasn't soo many times injured, but right now it is over, he will never do it. He should be extremely happy if he passes Kobe on the all time scoring list, but that would be it.
And Luka also won't brake it
I think it was too early for this subject lol realistically I can only see two players on here coming even remotely close, but even then I feel like we should wait til Bron done, he might kick that shit up to 50K before he done & if that’s the case. I don’t think no one catching him in this lifetime lol
U ain't lying 😂 if he get's to 50K nobody is ever sniffing that record
