can LBJ or Durant stay in the league long enough to break Kareems point record??

(1/3) > >>

OG Hack Wilson:
lebron has 14,700 and will probably get another 500 this year


if thru ages 25-33 he can score 2,000 points each of those years (9 seasons) that is another 18,000.  that puts him at about 33,000.


Kareem finished with 38,387....meaning lebron would need to play long enough to score only 5,400 points.  if he scores 1,200 points a year in his mid 30's for 5 years he has the record.







and Durant is still a youngin' but he is amazing.

Shallow:
The problem is the style difference. Kareem could play so long at the level he played because he used his height, not stopped or strength as his greatest advantage. The way Lebron plays he's going to burn out soon, and if he has enough career accomplishments he'll probably retire rather than be the #2 or #1 on a bad team. Unless Lebron is really close when he starts to fade I don't expect him around long enough.

Teddy Roosevelt:
^Exactly. It didn't take much physical energy/strength to shoot skyhooks. But like everything else, it all depends on wether LeBron (and Durant) can stay healthy.

OG Hack Wilson:
if MJ had never retired in 93/94 and had stayed around a few more years in Chicago he would have easily got 40,000

13th Duke:
I've got to admit, even though Durant is only a newcomer he seriously looks like he's good enough to be a hall of famer by the time he retires and maybe even more. He's practically dragged the Thunder into serious playoff positions almost single-handedly.
