Probably. Think MJ will catch Lebron in rebounds and assists?

If he averages 25PPG (career is 27.9), it'd be 48.2 more games until he reaches that.

Considering for 10 years he has played at least 11 and this year he has played in 13 (career avg is 17.1) alone, he'd need 3 more years at a decent rate.

Pretty easy

MJ holds the all-time record with 8 50+point playoff games, 38 40+pts playoff games, 109 30+pts playoff games, and 173 20+pts playoff games. He played in 179 career playoff games.

I think LBJ is at like 69 career playoff games with 30+points, and he's played in like 170 playoff games already. Pretty incredible that MJ has like 40 more playoff games with 30+ points than LBJ, and only played in a few more playoff games than him. Don't care if LBJ finishes with more total points than MJ did, becaus LBJ will play in a lot more playoff games in his career than MJ did. Hell, he's 30years and will probably pass MJ in postseason games played already.

If LBJ was averaging 33.4ppg in the playoffs for his career, then we've got something. But total points? Who cares when 1 guy will play way more games than the other.

probably eventually. he's only a few years away at a reasonable pace. the only reason this will be especially impressive is how long he's been so key to his teams making and then advancing in the playoffs

his scoring really isn't the best part of his game - he's more impressive for the balance of his game and his versatility on both ends of the court

No doubt, Lebron is gonna own every record in the book. Just go ahead and pencil in Lebron to be in the finals for the next ten years. Nobody can stop this man, he is the GOAT. The GOAT I tell you

3 down votes? It is a legitimate question.

I didn't intend for it to turn into a MJ vs LBJ pissing match, but this is the MSB.

And I agree 100% they are different players. Lebron may be the best athlete in NBA history and MJ is the greatest scorer of all time.

probably, the extension of the first round to best of 7 practically guarantees it.
