Of the 4 hardest records of James' career, one of them can be called a superstar, and 3 records in the playoffs are on the list
preface
In James's long career, he has broken countless records and set his own records, and now basically any mention of that historical record will have his name, Jordan and he are also big and small "old gangsters" in this regard. But the meaning of record existence is to be broken, and the future NBA may also have a player like James, who continues to break the records set by James that year to become a true superstar.
But the 4 records counted today are likely to be unprecedented, and no one has ever done it before James, and then the league will change with the times, the concept of basketball will always change, so these records may have to be sealed forever. So let's take stock of the 4 hardest records set by James in his career, or which record you think James is the most difficult to break can also actively leave a message in the comment area.
Regular season scoring champion (38652)
In this season's regular season against the Thunder, James officially surpassed Abdul-Jabbar's 38-year scoring record with a backward jumper, and at the age of 38, James still averaged 28.9 points per game, which is why he broke this record. As the only player in NBA history to average nearly 30 points per game in his twentieth season of his career, James' consistency and persistence need not be said, and even Abdul-Jabbar in his twentieth season of his career is no longer the core.
To break this record, the first thing you have to do is be a historical scorer, and although James has never been known as a scorer, it is only because he has overshadowed his talent in scoring. For example, Kobe, Iverson, Maddie and other players, known as super scorers, are not as average as James in their careers, especially considering that the 37-year-old James can still average 30.2 points per game, which proves that he did not fully focus on scoring before.
In addition to being a top scorer, it must be an evergreen at the level of James and Abdul-Jabbar, but unfortunately, in 76 years of NBA play, there have only been three such players, and the other is Karl Mallon, who is No. 3 on the scoring list. In the future, although the career of players will generally be extended due to various high-tech, it is necessary to rely on talent to reach James's level. The most important thing is that James is still playing, and at least he has to play two seasons, and the total number of points will exceed 40,000 points, and by then this record will most likely be a real future.
Playoff Scoring Champion (8023)
Back in the 2017 playoffs, James broke the playoff scoring record that had been held by Michael Jordan, and now 6 years have passed since that game, during which James has made four more playoff appearances, including one to the end. James, who has turned 38 this season, can still contribute 24.5 points per game on the offensive and defensive shoulders, and although the Lakers still lost to the Nuggets in the end, James played 40 points in the final game, which still raised the record to another level of 8023 points.
In comparison, second-placed Jordan scored 5,987 points, two notches apart. From this, you know how difficult this record is to break, even Jordan failed to break 8,000 in the playoffs due to various factors. Although Jordan's scoring ability at his peak is enough to stand out, he has no choice but to win the championship season several times in addition to 6 championship seasons, but if Jordan does not retire halfway, otherwise there is no problem with his scoring ability to score 7500 points before retiring.
So the conditions required to break this record are the same as breaking the regular season scoring champion, first of all, you must be able to average at least 28 points per game in the playoffs, and then play the first number of appearances in playoff history like James, it can be said that on the way to breaking the scoring record, you may break other records by the way. And all the way beyond Jordan, Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant, the top ten stars in history, so the difficulty of breaking this record can be imagined.
The top of the two teams in the five statistics of the finals
The 2015-2016 season is destined to be a season that will go down in history, one year when Kobe Bryant retired, Curry led the Warriors to a 73-9 all-time first, two 1-3 reversals in one season, and the final winner was James and his Cavaliers. In the Finals against the Warriors, who had just reversed the Thunder 1-3, the Cavaliers were the team that was 3-1 down after the first four games, and the media at the time gave the Cavaliers a 0.3% chance of a turnover.
But the Cavaliers did not give up, and under James, they completed the reversal step by step, and contributed various famous scenes. For example, G5 Zhan Ou cut 82 points, G7 James the block, Irving faced Curry with a sword to seal his throat, Love blocked Curry at a key moment, but in the end, the biggest contributor to the Cavaliers' successful reversal was James. Throughout the series, James averaged 29.7 points, 11.3 rebounds, 8.9 assists, 2.6 steals and 2.3 blocks per game, the top of both teams in five statistics, and James proved with strength what it means to be truly comprehensive.
In the last three games, James led by example and played absolute dominance on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and how could other role players surrender early when they saw team leaders fighting like this. Never in the history of the NBA has a player been as involved in a series as James, and James has proven that he is indeed the most well-rounded player in history.
Lead three different teams to the championship and get FMVP
In James' 20-year career, he has played for a total of 3 teams, namely the Cavaliers, Heat, and Lakers, and James has led all 3 teams to win championships, including a two-game championship with the team in the Heat. Although some fans will say that James hugs his thighs, James has proven every time that no matter where he goes, he is the real thigh, these 4 championships he is the MVP of the series, there are many superstars who have changed teams in history, but he is the only one who can lead three teams to win championships and win FMVP.
James is a big ball holder, no matter where he plays, the team can have a chance to compete for the championship as long as it is built around him. And fans will always ignore James's contribution in addition to ball handling, the lack of interior lineup during the Heat period, Bosh's style of play doomed him to be unable to fight opponents in the box all the time, so James played power forward for the team's weight. Defensively, he can lead defenders like Ross and Parker, as well as inside players like Robert, Duncan and Howard in the box.
The Cavaliers' championship James is even more offensive and defensive, James can also defend well when Irving holds the ball, and James can also play a playmaker on the court, so that Irving's offensive style of play can be best released. In order to match the Lakers' championship with thick eyebrows, James transformed into a point guard at the age of 35, so that year James first won an assist king, and led the team to win the championship in the playoffs. The summary is that James has been successful in three different teams, not only because of his ability, but also because his willingness to make changes for the team is also a key factor in winning the championship.
