LeBron James has a fair share of records to his name. Most of these records might remain unbroken for decades to come as well.
Ultimately, his biggest enemy is himself and time. With the clock always ticking, how will LeBron be able to stretch his points to make another NBA record?
The 50,000-pt Chase
James had been the first to reach many records, but he’s not done yet. He’s seeking to be the first player to reach 50,000 points in the combination of regular-season and postseason points. This is nothing short of possible for someone like LeBron.
According to ESPN, James will only need 1,364 points to reach this milestone. Last season, he scored over 1,984 points. If he sustains the same momentum and scores the same points per game, he will hit another record by only his 53rd game.
LeBron can also surpass another milestone within just nine more 30-point performances. Through this, he’ll be able to surpass Michael Jordan.
Points Breakdown
James’ registered points record is currently at 48,636. Here’s a breakdown for both regular and postseason scores:
-
Regular Season: 40,474 points

2003 to 2010 Cleveland Cavaliers: 15,251 points
