He passed Kobe Bryant last night to hold the record

Lebron passed Kobe in scoring nearly 5 years ago

There is not a more overrated player in nba history than Kobe Bryant

Only stat that matters to a player of Kobes ilk.

growing up, Kobe was my favorite player and is still up there, but he's definitely one of the most overrated athletes of all time. maybe a top 15 guy.

Didn't Babe Ruth hold the strikeout record for a while?

A shotchucker, you mean

If it weren’t for “Mamba mentality”, playing for the Lakers and him dying he wouldn’t even be considered Top 10 all time

... Nolan Ryan has the record for most walks in MLB history.

I'm going to guess that he has between 1,000-2,000 more total field goals attempted in NBA history than whoever is second on the list.

Lebron can be criticized in some regard, but his longevity and injury history is as elite as I've ever seen. You can start seeing him slow down a wee bit, but he's still incredibly impactful.

Kobe is underrated honestly. Guys who have never played the game and stat book losers hate him. People say he is top 10-15. He’s top 3 all time.

1. MJ
2. LeBron
3. Kobe

LeBron has a higher three point percentage (34.8% to 32.9%) for his career on more three point shots than Kobe (6,930 to 5,546).

I know that actual stats hurt the More Sports Board's absurd hatred of Lebron James. But you can easily check the career heat mapfor Lebron James for yourselves.

LeBron does average an absurd 67.3% on shots around the basket, that's over 10% higher than the League average. So apparently LeBron is pretty damn good at making those "hard to miss" shots.

He's not likely to be a top 3 Laker of all time, let alone top 3 NBA all time.
