On Wednesday night LeBron James passed Wilt Chamberlain to move into fifth place on the All-Time NBA scoring list with 31,425 points during their 126-117 win over the Portland Trailblazers. He tied him on an And-1 runner with 3:55 left to play and passed him on the ensuing free throw. Ole boy is usually terrible at shooting free throws but he made sure to knock that one down.
So I guess when I fall into the barber shop this week all of the haters will be in full effect like we used to say. Why? Because up next is Jordan at No.4. If Lebron continues to average his season scoring of 26.4 points per game and doesn’t miss any games he’ll surpass Mike’s 32,292 in January. And the worse case scenario he’ll pass him before the season’s over. Then all of the Jordan diehards will find every way to discredit this man for playing the game and being consistent throughout his career.
All he’s done was play the game in an extraordinary way for 16 years and the haters have grown even stronger with every passing year. I keep saying that the numbers don’t lie. When we’re talking about who the best all-around player we’ve ever seen play this game the numbers don’t lie bruh!!
Before this season is over he’ll be 4th all-time in scoring, he’s already 11th all-time in assists and 17th in steals. There’s not a single player that’s Top 20 in all three categories, let alone top 17 in all three and he’s still playing. Bruh…he’s 59th in rebounds and he’s not technically a 4 or a 5. He’s just plays one when he feels like it during the course of the game. He plays every position on the floor all night every night and he’s typically the most athletic guy in the building every time they boot up.
We don’t have to keep going through this, just sit in the cut and watch it. I’ve been trying to tell you this for the pass 6 or 7 years but you won’t listen. So just sit back and watch this foolishness play out and in maybe 4 years the MJ diehards will run out of foolishness to hold on to.
And please stop with the “He’ll never be 6-0 in the Finals” because you sound like a person that knows nothing about teams sports let alone basketball. Winning a championship is a TEAM award not an individual award. So Jordan winning 6 titles were as a result of him being on the best team six times. They were favored in every Final because they were Golden State before Golden State became Golden State.
Using that logic means that you know nothing about NBA history and the players that have won championships. There are 12 players in the history of the league with 6 or more titles. There are 9 players with more rings than Jordan. So if we’re using that logic everybody with more rings than Mike would be considered better than him and that simply makes no sense because half of the duns on the list you wouldn’t know if they walked up to you today, slapped the taste out of your mouth and gave you a cigarette.
Just so you know that I’m not making this foolishness up, Bill Russell has 11, Sam Jones 10, John Havlicek 8, Tom Heinsohn 8, K.C. Jones 8, Tom “Satch” Sanders 8, Robert Horry 7, James Loscutoff 7 and Frank Ramsey 7 all have more championships than Jordan. And please stop acting like Pippen, Kareem and Bob Cousey don’t all have the same 6 that Jordan has.
So to continue to use the “Mike’s 6-0 in the Finals” doesn’t make an ounce of sense. Please stop showing your ignorance of the game and it’s history if you’re going to debate the game and it’s players. Look at their all-around game’s and tell me that Mike’s entire game is better than LeBron. If you tell me that Jordan is the GOAT because of his influence on the game globally then I’ll agree with you all day. However, if you tell me that he’s a better all-around basketball player I’ll tell you to put the pipe down and I’ll take you to rehab and pay for it. Stop me when I start lyin’!
