Lebron needs 36 to pass Kareem. Has OKC tonight and Milwaukee Thursday

Annoying 10pm ET games…

[willeyeam]

The boomers are gonna be pissed

[shafnutz05]

NBA starting times are absurd though

[willeyeam]

They're in LA...

[shafnutz05]

They're in LA...

Yeah, but the east coast audience. Start the games during rush hour.

[Ad@m]

18 away from the record. He’s going to break it tonight.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

with the amount of scoring in this game I wouldn't be surprised if Westbrook passed Kareem tonight too

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

Would be a blessing if he did it before midnight…

[Ad@m]

**** commercials

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

He was shaky to start the game but broke the record shooting 66%. That’s solid

But now I hope the Lakers both lose this game and miss the playoffs

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

did he say “**** man, thank you guys” at the end or did I mishear

[Ad@m]

That’s what I heard.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

I think the GOAT convo between him and MJ is indistinguishable now. Lebron was better for longer but MJ had an immaculate peak

I still lean MJ because Lebron going to LA still annoys the **** out of me but I feel like it’s difficult to make a definitive argument for either

MJ had an immaculate peak

Yes.

Comparing Lebron and MJ is difficult. MJ is unparalleled at his mid range game. He played a game that was much prettier to watch than lebron’s. Lebron scores a majority of his points around the rim. MJ was able to create space and create a shot. Lebron just goes through you. Lebron will go down as the most dominant player in nba history (or shaq, but 2nd to shaq if not number 1). They are different players and unique in their own right and each equally excellent. It reminds me a bit of people that used to say Sid wasn’t great because he didn’t score the beautiful goals but went to the dirty areas

I don't really recall a lot of discussions about Kareem v. MJ for number one. Now that Lebron accumulated this achievement that instantly puts him over MJ?

Nah.

[willeyeam]

pretty sure ppl had their opinion before last night

[willeyeam]

all I'll say is LeBron dragged some ass teams to the finals, and gets the losses held against him which I think is very unfair. I'd just put them at 1A and 1B, I don't see a need to declare one the goat, nor would I ever really feel confident enough in arguing one over the other. That said LeBron is still playing, if he pulls another title or two out of his ass, well..

They are either under 8 or over 80…

I had the Nets-Suns game on last night, and the broadcast kept cutting to LA for the Lakers warmup. They mentioned that Kareem Abdul Jabbar had 1 3 point shot during his career...Did I hear that right? If so, that's amazing...

Nah.

at what point ever did anyone in the world say “this achievement instantly puts him over MJ”?

Even as a lawyer I can't dignify this level of pedantic stupidity.
