I'm always thinking LeBron is aiming to create his legacy by cementing records after records, and he might consider retiring at the age of 41 or maybe more. I mean Vince Carter has retired at 42. So, who knows LeBron is in a much greater shape than Vince when he's 37. But the main reason why LeBron needs to be healthy and play basketball till he's 40 because he's son might get into the NBA at age of 18. So, LeBron will have another record in the NBA as the only player who are still active that also have a son that actively playing in the NBA as well, or might be better If they will be on the same team.
Bronny is 16, LeBron's contract in the Lakers will end in 2 years. So, I guess there will be a huge possiblity they'll play on the same team "IF" Bronny will be drafted to the NBA.

It would be interesting to see how Lebron and his son play together or against each other. However, his son won't be able to play in the NBA at 18 because all players must be at least 19 years old to be eligible to participate in the NBA Draft. So we can expect that Lebron will continue to play even after the end of the 22/23 season.

That would be fun for sure, and when Lebron retires, he will also see his son playing in the NBA, but I don't expect him to be as great as his father. Lebron lasted this long and able to keep his health because he is not only talented or gifted, he also knows how to take care of his body.

That will be the best ever experience for LeBron James.
He is now at the 3rd rank of All-time scoring leaders (35,367) and above him is Karl Malone (36,928). At the top is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387).
Lebron just lacks 3,520 + 1 more point to achieve it. Do you guys think he can manage that amount? He stopped being an offensive guy (points) and most of the time he finishes in double-double or triple double. His stats are now stretched because he became the facilitator of the Lakers.

It always depends on injuries. When Kobe retired he looked very far away from Kareem, however that dude was averaging 27+ points and retired at like 36-37 years old. If Kobe didn't get injured, he would have at least 3 or even 4 more seasons with at least 25+ points (not because he will keep being awesome which might happen but he was given the ball at all times in Lakers) so that means he would had 8k+ points instead of 3-4k on his last 4 years, add in a few more years of him being old and not as great as he was, dude could have reached nearly 45k points let alone 40k, the chance was there to break over 40k very easily for him, it wasn't even a question of "will he?" it was just matter of time.

However he got injured and eventually retired. Same exact thing applies to Lebron. It is not about "will he?" obviously he will break it without a doubt, but if he gets injured enough to never make a proper comeback? Then he is out as well.

Very possible to happen, LeBron's body built is really strong and without any major injuries after 2 years, he can still play.

I believe that he also aiming for that, with the way he trained and support Bronny, the chance to see a father and son duo
may happen, a dream that every dad really intends to take place.

Bronny will be guided properly if LeBron still exists and playing, a history in the making that for sure will be the Legacy that
very difficult to break.

Great to see Aaron Gordon get his 92 million dollar bag today. He has in my mind the greatest dunk ever in a dunk contest and was robbed of two dunk championships by terrible judges. He deserves the $ just for that in my opinion. It’s been a long grind for him getting all his skills in order, but he’s a threat from anywhere now and a great pickup for any team.

4 years contract. Wow. This is something to be thankful about, they gave them the break that he needed and I bet he will enjoy his next 4 years with good players around him.

Quote from: Vaculin on September 15, 2021, 07:15:05 AM

Nuggets have to give him more touches on the ball, they should not rely so much on Jokic as they are easy to predict that way. Next season, when Murray comes back, this Nuggets team will have a big 3, I'm talking about players that could consistently contribute to the team.

I agree. Give some proper rotation for him. But last year was okay since he was newly added in trade for Gary Harris and the chemistry is not there yet.
This season though may be a lot different. With Murray back in November or December from recovery they will be at full blast again.
MPJ should also start sharpening his outside shots because there's a chance they will be in the Semis again or more.

Do you guys think he can manage that amount?

Huge possiblity that LeBron can break that record If he continues to play till his 40 or even 39. He only needs to average 10+ ppg.
LeBron can still score 20+ ppg, but with the current Lakers roster, he might not be able to score that much as most of the Laker acquisition this year is an offensive threat.
However, LeBron can do more triple doubles with a team who has a higher consistency scoring rate and he needs to be active on grabbing the rebounds as well.

I hope so. Maybe it's time for some change in the rankings and I will be glad it happened in my era. Though I am not one of his big fans, I think he deserve to be on the top. Punctuality, taking care of your body, hard work and so much more, he did it all and showcased it in the basketball floor to entertain and achieve his goals.
He may really break the record as @rhomelmabini said. 1k+ points per season will be enough for 3 more years and he is just 39 after that. He could play another year if he feels like he can still do it, just to give the next player a difficult time to break the new record. Grin

It just surprises me that John Wall is already out of Houston? He seems to be doing good, maybe Houston is going to rebuild again with young guys, the Harden and Paul was really the closest they can get to the finals and win another ring for the franchise. Yeah, a Simmons and Wall trade might work both ways, so let's see if Sixers are willing to do that.

I was exited to see Jalen Green playing alongside with Wall, thinking that he's (Wall) leadership will help the youngsters to build their names inside this league. It was a surprise knowing that he's done now. The trade between him and Simmons might work in terms of stats and value. Maybe Sixers managements will accept this one if Houston is also interested, fair enough if there's no other demands from both ends.

A silent Big three but stats wise, they are good all-around players.

This 4 years $92M extension will inspire Gordon to play harder, with a healthy Jamal and Jokic, expect
to see Nuggets playing much better.

They have now Westbrook as their facilitator and if LBJ averages 20-25 PPG, he can surpass the current record in 1-2 seasons. This includes also playoffs and if he will get injured. I would love to see that event happen though that Kareem himself will cheer on LBJ when he surpasses the record

.

That's achievable for Lebron James in 2 seasons, I also made a computation on my own, 72 games in the regular season, plus playoffs since the Lakers will certainly enter in the playoffs without a problem.

He just to ensure he is healthy, so he can score every game and he will be able to make a history being the number 1 in scoring in 2 to 3 seasons.

Lebron still looks young, though already at 36 years old, he is still very dominant, so nothing is impossible because he is a special player.

There are some factors that might affect this but with how he is playing these past seasons and as long as he will be healthy all throughout the season, I think that he can still surpass Kareem's record.
We've seen Lebron as a passer and with Westbrook as his teammate and we know how he is playing, I think that Lebron will focus more on points than assist but still we don't know what are his plans.

They have now Westbrook as their facilitator and if LBJ averages 20-25 PPG, he can surpass the current record in 1-2 seasons. This includes also playoffs and if he will get injured. I would love to see that event happen though that Kareem himself will cheer on LBJ when he surpasses the record

I'm hearing rumors that a team is close to making a deal for Ben Simmons. I think it may be the Sacramento Kings, but that's just a guess based on the description of it being a small market team and Ben Simmons saying he wanted to play in California. It would be terrible if the Kings had to give up Fox to get him, but it seems like Fox might want out and if that's the case then it would be good to get a guy in return who wants to be there. I think in the next 2 weeks we'll be hearing an announcement of a trade.

If I am the 76ers management I'll take that deal with Fox. Damn, that kid has some skills already and a lot of room for improvement.
One more team on that rumors is Washington Wizards for Bradley Beal. Wait, Is Washington a small market team?
Cavaliers are also pursuing the deal and won't keep their eyes shut until the end of it.

It seems like there's a lot of offers already but Daryl Morey cannot find that sweet deal that will be rewarding for the 76ers short-term and long-term.

Fox is good addition to them knowing that he's might be a game changer on the line up of 76ers and they can invest for him for more longer times since as you stated he is so young and he can bring championship to his team if he may have a good support. For sure he will get that with Embiid and other great guys in 76ers. Lets see the upcoming news if this trade drama will end up on sacramento since many people are more curious on which team Simmons will land.

Based on his stats, you can tell that he is really good. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/f/foxde01.html
However, he will play with the 76ers that are full of talents, and he has to show up to be one of the stars and I don't know if he will become more valuable compared to Ben Simmons.

as for the contract, https://www.nba.com/news/report-deaaron-fox-to-sign-maximum-contract-extension-with-sacramento-kings/. I think it's a win-win for both teams if they are looking for the right fit, it's their decision.

Yeah, the discipline that Lebron has throughout the years and consistency. And it might have to do something with his genetics, he is a gifted one that's why he was able to stay in the game for many years and still have some in the tank for the next 2 years to break the all time record.

So it's achievable, we thought that Big O's is untouchable, but we witnessed Westbrook broke and surpassed it. So this is the next big record (besides Wilt's record), that can be broken by Lebron.

Looks like John Wall and the Rockets are done. The Rockets announced they’re looking for a trade for him to find a new team. Announcing this publicly seems like a desperation move. Something must have happened for them to want to publicly beg for a trade like that. Maybe they’re hoping to get in on the Ben Simmons sweepstakes too.

I think there's a problem inside, it's not the players. Harden left the team because he doesn't feel playing with the team anymore, probably a problem in the management of the team, now John Wall will be traded, I guess many teams will go after him, and if the 76ers will trade Ben Simmons for Wall, I guess they are in the winning situation as they will get a good PG that could help the team to be more efficient.

It just surprises me that John Wall is already out of Houston? He seems to be doing good, maybe Houston is going to rebuild again with young guys, the Harden and Paul was really the closest they can get to the finals and win another ring for the franchise.

Lebron got an average of 1.4k season points when he got into the Lakers and that would mean he needs to have 2 or 3 more seasons and he needs his team to be in playoffs in that case. That means he should have 20/21 season in the NBA to achieve that record but I could be wrong too, this is just a calculation though.

I guess Lebron will be able to break this record. However, it's worth noting that his contact with the Lakers will end after the 22/23 season. So he will need to score at least 22 points on an average per game during the next two seasons. It will be hard if he is injured again.

That's the only thing that can hinder James from breaking Kareem's record - Injuries.

Similar to Stephen Curry's chasing Ray Allen's record in 3 points made, if he didn't get injured, he is very close by now or even has overtaken him in the last season.

Does anyone saw the NBA HOF class of 2021?

First I heard that. That is a net net zero move for Sacramento. I wouldn't do that deal. Fox is a good player. That doesn't make much sense, if you can part with held and some draft capital that would work for sac. But removing your scorer to get a guy that's perfect to set up said scorer doesn't make sense.

Lebron can do that, he can dictate what he likes to happen in the team because he is the captain of this team. At his age, he can make at least 20 ppg per game and still earn a decent contract once it expires, the injury of Lebron last season was not that serious as he was able to come back strong, the problem was Davis because he was already inconsistent last season and it added a big problem when he was injured in the first round of the series against the Suns.

Yeah right the ball always touch on his hand and he is the main man of the team so for sure having 22 points in a game is not a huge problem to him knowing he can score 22 or even 30+ in a game so for sure he can break that record and surpass those past guys in the list. Also we know how Lebron invested to his body so injury is not really a serious matter since Lebron have strong physical frame and he didn't miss a season playing so overall nothing to worry as he is not injury prone yet.
