James can't break the five major records: 40,000 points can only be at the bottom, and the top of the list will be sealed forever!
James can't break the five major records: 40,000 points can only be at the bottom, and the top of the list will be sealed forever!
Since entering the league in 2003, James has won numerous honorary awards, and just 4 crowns + 4 FMVPs + 4 MVPs + all-time scoring titles are enough to make him enter the discussion of GOAT. At the same time, James has also set countless records in his 21-year career that are difficult for future generations to achieve, so let's take a look at the 5 most difficult records to break.
5. The all-time scoring champion
After surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the No. 1 all-time scorer last season, James now has a total of 39,704 points, and if nothing else, he will break the 40,000-point mark in 10 games, becoming the only player in history to do so. However, as the NBA enters an era of data explosion, there may be someone who can catch up in the future.
4. The two teams ranked first in the 5 data items in the finals
The 2016 Finals was undoubtedly the best series of all time, with the Cavaliers coming back from 3-1 down and James setting an epic record in the process. In seven Finals games, James scored a total of 208 points, 79 rebounds, 62 assists, 178 steals, and 16 blocks. James ranks first among all players on both teams in all five stats, and is the only player in history to do so.
3. 8,023 points in the playoffs
So far in his career, James has played in 16 playoff games, played in 282 games, and scored 8,023 points, both of which rank first in history. In terms of scoring, James is even more out of gear, and Jordan, who ranks second, only has 5,987 points, more than 2,000 points worse than James. And you know, James' record will continue to be broken.
2. Average 20+ per game for 21 consecutive years
Since his rookie season, James has averaged more than 20+ points per game for 21 consecutive seasons, and is the only player in history who has averaged more than 20 points per game in more than 20 seasons in his career. This can't help but make people sigh that James has been in the same competitive state for decades.
1. Scored double-doubles in 1,193 consecutive games
Since 2007, James has scored in double figures in 1,193 consecutive games, ranking first in history, nearly 300 more than Jordan, who is second. Of all the records James has set, this is also the most difficult to break, knowing that it requires a player's career length, competitive form and scoring ability.
