On March 20, Beijing time, James officially completed the surpassing of Malone and rose to the second place in the historical scoring list. So, how strong is The second in history of Old Zhan? In fact, it proves a little bit of old Zhan's persistence that no one has ever done before.
There are already many players in this league who lament James's persistence, and Curry has said, "Through him, you can see how a player is at your best, so you know what kind of effort you need to put in, especially in the offseason, how to take care of your body, your mind." Find a balance on and off the pitch. In Curry's view, he sees a definition of "enduring" in James.
James's persistence can be said to be unprecedented, look at the Malone he just surpassed, he scored 36928 points in 40 years and 264 days, and Abdul-Jabbar also scored 36928 points in his career at 40 years and 267 days. James' 36,928 points is 37 years and 81 days, a full three years younger.
That is to say, whether it is Malone or Abdul-à-Viscere, the scoring ability has declined as he ages, but James cannot see such a trend now.
In fact, James has completed 25+ for 18 consecutive seasons, which is the first miracle in history, in the history of the NBA, in addition to James, only 5 people can complete 25+ per game for 10 consecutive seasons, Durant has 13 consecutive seasons (still continuing), West, Jordan, Malone for 11 consecutive seasons, and O'Neal for 10 consecutive seasons.
The 37-year-old James is even attacking the scoring king, and at present, he is averaging 29.8 points per game, which is also a new high for 37-year-old players in history, and if he can get the scoring king, he will be the oldest scorer in history, surpassing Jordan.
It is this persistence that allows James to complete the transcendence of Malone, and the transcendence of Tiangou is just around the corner. The scary thing is that the new scoring record set by James in the future may not be surpassed for a long time.
