Lakers' LeBron James is the first NBA player to score 40,000 points. James scored his first 10,000 points in the exact same number of games as it took him to go from 30,000 to 40,000 - 10K in 368 games - 10K to 20K in 358 games - 20K to 30K in 381 games - 30K to 40K in 368 games pic.twitter.com/mw5nkSizyy
"What is Jordan's peak? 1 yr? Then LeBron's peak was higher. 2 yrs? It's a debate. 3 yrs? That goes to Jordan. 4 yrs? It tilts back to LeBron. 5 yrs? Find me a better 5-yr peak than LeBron from 2012-16."

I think the most genuinely hilarious thing about all of this isn't the rampant insecurity LeBron stans propagate on a daily basis, it's the insecurity of LeBron himself. That stat about him and AD playing the most and second most minutes during the in season tournament portion across the WHOLE LEAGUE is never not funny [Reply]
Ohh that's right. Conveniently for Lebron Stans, the only championship in the history of team sports wasn't a team accomplishment.
Should I post his game 5 through 7 stat lines again? I can.
One player won that series against a vastly superior team through sheer force of will. The greatest single accomplishment in NBA history.
Of course, it also helps that he continued on in unprecedented historic fashion 8 years after that until he was 40 as one of the top players in the game too.
Peak and longevity, the perfect combination. [Reply]
