Countdown to Bron passing Kareem: 1,325pts to go (free daps)

[THE MACHINE]

LeBron is on his way, and after two 50-point games in under a week, I think it’s time to start the countdown

38,387 is Kareem’s number
36,928 is Malone’s number
37,062 is Bron’s number as of the start of the 2022-2023 season

I’ll update after each game. When/If he passes Kareem I’ll switch this to the 40k countdown.

At 1,594 points behind Kareem, Bron needs to average 25ppg for 64 games to pass him. Assuming he misses a handful of starts next year, that should happen really close to all-star break 2023.

At 135 points behind Malone, he would pass him in 6 games at 25ppg. Lakers @ Cavs on 3/21
They also play at Washington 3/19 if he keeps his 29ppg average.

Not sure when the next time we’ll be in this situation to see the all-time scoring mark eclipsed. Here are the closest active players.
Bron 37,062
KD: 25k at 33y/o
Harden: 23k 32y/o
Westbrook: 23k 33y/o
CP3: 20k 36y/o
Curry: 20k turns 34y/o on 3/14

For reference: 25ppg playing 80games gets you 2000 points in a season

Let’s post random Bron scoring highlights, free daps.


Let’s hope Bron can stay healthy. It’ll be a “where were you” sports moment for our kids.

Definitely not breh. It’s not that serious.

GOAT shyt. I was blessed enough to see this game live. I was trolling them Pelicans fans all game long and nikkas looked like they wanted to kill me after Bron put the game away.

Breh, 15-20 years down the road when kids ask did you see Bron pass Kareem it’ll for sure be a “yeah, I was……”


And everyone will swear they were at the game.

I love Bron, pause, but nobody remembers when Kareem did it. You act like this will be some 9/11, Kennedy assassination type of shyt lol

Sports wise this will be huge. This will get Bonds HR coverage.

Exactly, dude is breaking a record that stood for almost 40 years and is going to be the first player ever to reach 40k points. nikkas were saying that Curry breaking Ray Allen's 10 year 3 point record was an iconic moment, but Bron doing something no NBA player has ever done ain't?

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

It’s a huge accomplishment, but they’ll over do it and downplay it at the same time. It’ll be nitpicked to death. That’s the society we all live in now. Poor Bron.

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Couldn't get 2 points when he needed vs this guy tho

 

[010101]

all them buckets no 3's oooweeeeeee*

 

[Ukbrotha]

It'll be an Incredible achievement. I don't see an active player breaking it.

 

[FAH1223]

I imagine when LeBron breaks it, it'll be like Kareem. They'll pause the game, Mama James will be right there, Savanah and the kids, etc.



Imagine if Kareem didn't play 4 years at UCLA.

The real imagine is if KD doesnt get hurt so often it was obvious he was going to hit 40k points
