The Wikipedia page hasn’t been updated since 15MAR24 and still shows LeBron in 2nd. LeBron broke the record 18MAR24 against the Hawks.

    Why would Olympics count as “professional”? They don’t get paid.

    I swear I never heard of this Oscar Schmidt guy until LeBron passed Kareem lol

    Funny thing is there’s a good chance Oscar Schmidt wasn’t even all star calibre. Any prime NBA rotation calibre player playing overseas will look like the GOAT.

    Looks like LeBron is still behind in International points category… unacceptable

    Brazilian dude named Oscar Schmidt… born in 1958 🤔🤔🤔

    Is Oscar Schmidt in any uploaded draft classes in 2K era? I need to put that MF in there

    Oscar Schmidt played against encanadores e lixeiros

    Kim Jong Un once scored 50,000 in a single game. Even Dennis Rodman says so. LeBron has a long way to go to catch the dear leader.

    Honestly that Wikipedia page is a mess.  I had to add KD, TD & the forgotten Dan Issel to the list; and someone keeps inflating Oscar Schmidt’s points total.

    Oscar Schmidt is one of the basketball GOATs. So many nephews here don’t appreciate basketball history. He’s on the Mount Rushmore of basketball
