How important is the MBA scoring record and Ken LeBron do this?

I think he can do it.

It's gonna take two more years of playing like he's 25 years old, but he's still doing it here in year 18.

So he might now.

Very quickly, Old Man whispers.

He's not as good as Cream, but we'll leave that for another discussion some some other day.

The point is, in Year 18, he is far better than anybody else has ever been in year 18.

And that was true in Year 16.

He doesn't seem to really be diminishing, and and that's what's gonna allow him to get close to 40,000 and have that all to himself.

Clinton Yates is the all time scoring mark a big deal for you?

Not really.

I mean, in the world in 2021 in which a lot of people are born, live and die on Rings Mountain.

This has sort of been completely de programmed out of my concern as to what is actually supposed to matter.

So LeBron James is the best basketball player of all time.

To me, just on the eyeball test, however, it is quite the accomplishment.

Certainly so, you know, Yeah, hoping it gets to it.

But it's not really gonna change my opinion of him because he's already at the top scoring, Not a big deal for you in basketball.

That's what you're telling us, Clinton.

It's alright.

No, I'm telling you that rings or things that people talk about all the time.

And so as a result, I think about that.

But LeBron James, LeBron James, we all know what is k B.

How big a deal is the all time scoring mark in the NBA?

Oh, it's only like like scaling Mount Everest.

That's about how big it is.

This is unbelievable.

I mean, And the thing about LeBron James is if I ask you to describe LeBron James, scoring is not necessarily the first thing you're gonna talk about.

I mean, he's just a very consistent guy, but you know what?

He he impacts the game with his scoring just like he does his rebounding just like he does this in the leg, just like he does his passing.

Just like he does everything.

And yet, after all these years, he's closing in on Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

This is absolutely stunning.

You cannot throw enough flowers at his Faris pain.

I'm still not quite sure if Mount Everest er rings Mountain is taller, but when he leaps to the heights of both of them, I think we can keep praising him for this.

This is a huge accomplishment, because Kb's point it requires consistency, and it requires longevity and durability.

He only has toe average Now on Lee is Ah, important word here is doing a lot of work.

But he only has to average about 25 points a game.

And he would get to answer passed Kareem by the 2022 2023 season.

That's not out of the realm of possibility.

Doubting LeBron James on a big accomplishment like that is as bad ideas, you know, going to Cancun and coming back with all right?

Yes, yes.

Another stop doubting.

Okay, Good.

I thought we were going somewhere else with that, um Kevin, you're absolutely right.

It's the most shocking thing about LeBron is that this is the least thing we talk about.

You know his score.

Really last word.

Maybe this is the consistency that Hank Aaron had in baseball.

Think about that.
