That’s a shockingly large gap between #2 and 3. Would have thought Wilt would be a lot closer.
1. LeBron James: 672
2. Michael Jordan: 671
3. Wilt Chamberlain: 557

GOAT
I think we can all agree he passed Michael Jordan in amount of 30 points games
Congratulations to Lebron but really shows what Jordan accomplished in 14-15 seasons.
one more 30+ points game… in 414 more games
MJ really was an insane scorer, everybody knows that but i don’t think they realize to what extent
LeThirty
Greatest of all time 🐐
When tryna shit on lebron people will often talk about but but but Jordan did it in…People like to talk about back in the day defence, look at the defensive player of year and first team all defence . in comparison Jordan didn’t have to go up against kawhi, or PG, it was all bigs and dominated by DPOY from mutumbo, kakeem and his eventually very own Dennis rodman lol .
arguably had the best wing defender on his team alongside the goat rebounder .
Also the glove is a midget in comparison to wing defenders today in pg/kawhi. 6’7”-6’8” guards
And Jordan didn’t play the levle of talent either . No joker, no luka, no giannis. Game is international, average player Kyle kuzma would be Larry bird back in the day lol.
The best player to play in the nba isn’t even born yet, game just keeps getting more competitive and advance and if you talk about nba back in my day you are a retarded boomer who doesn’t understand basic statistics
GOAT
The longevity and consistency is so insane.
Jordan needed 5 fewer seasons of games. 🤯🤯🤯
Never thought Id say this having lived through the late eighties-early nineties era.
Jordan is if anything… underrated.
The way the NBA plays defense this record will be shattered
It took him this long 😮
40 point games:
Jordan: 173
Lebron: 77
Kobe: 122
Wilt: 271
50 point games:
Kobe: 25
Lebron: 14
Jordan: 31
Wilt: 118
Only 10 players have scored 60 or more points on more than one occasion:
Wilt: 32
Kobe: 6
Lillard: 5
Jordan and Harden: 4
Elgin Baylor: 3
Karl-Anthony Towns, Devin Booker, Luka Dončić, and Stephen Curry: 2
>would have thought Wilt would be closer
30pts was a bad night for Wilt
now add played games….
real question here is how the fuck MJ reached it so quick. 414 games is huge ass gap
Bruh u guys need to stop talking about how Mj accomplished it in less time and just congratulate Lebron. His longevity is unprecedented. Both are amazing players.
What percentage of the 30+ pts in those games are FTs, respectively?
Compiler stat
> Would have thought Wilt would be a lot closer.
Wilt played 1045 games. LeBron has played 1486 games. Wilt still dominates other scoring stats.
Most 40 point games:
– Wilt (1st) – 271 games
– Jordan (2nd) – 173 games
Most 50 point games:
– Wilt – 118 games
– Jordan, Kobe, Harden, and LeBron combined – 93 games
Most 60 point games:
– Wilt (1st) – 32 games
– Kobe (2nd) – 6 games
Most 70 point games:
– Wilt – 6 games
– Every other NBA player ever – 9 games
That just makes mj more impressive tbh lol
In twice as many years though
Hey does anyone here have an opinion on who was better at basketball, MJ or LBJ?
edit: I think they’re both good
Now do 40 and 50 point games lol
If you play long enough, you can break every longevity records.
If he keeps this up he might make the HOF.
Everyone is in denial that this man is the undisputed GOAT
The insecurity in the comments here are hilarious.
It’s actually more impressive that Mike managed to do it with a lot less games played, should be a factor in consideration.
