Fifth, the number of free throws in history is expected to break into the top three
James has the fourth-highest free-throw line in history (8,087), 291 short of Bryant's career total. If James makes 4.6 free throws per game next season, as he did last year, he would need to play 64 games to overtake Bryant. He hasn't done that since 2019-20, but would you really be surprised if James plays almost every game with the Lakers next season?
Sixth, close to the giants of the defensive rebounding list in history
Only 10 players have grabbed 9,000 defensive rebounds in their careers, including James, who has grabbed 9,001. If his average for next season is the same as in 2022-23, which is 7.1 defensive rebounds per game, he would need to play 56 games to surpass Abdul-Jabbar's total (9,394 rebounds) and 68 games to surpass Moses Malone (9,481 rebounds).
Seventh, climb the three-point list
James ranks ninth all-time in three-point field goals, hitting a total of 2,261 three-pointers. He will soon rank higher on the list because he has only 21 fewer three-pointers than Jason Terry and 29 fewer than Vince Carter. If he can maintain the same average of three-pointers per game (2.9) and play 66 games as in 2021-2022, he will also surpass the total (2,450) of former teammate Kyle Korver, who is currently in fifth place but will soon be overtaken by Damian Lillard.
There's the problem with Klay Thompson having just 48 fewer three-pointers than James and averaging 3.8 three-pointers per game last season (compared to James' 2.2). The most likely scenario is that James surpasses Terry and Carter, but can only be promoted by one.
