i remember when 40k points was thrown out as a joke, not only has he passed it but done so averaging 25ppg, at 39….he’s also 5 years away from being allowed to apply for the NBA pension lol
I personally think he’s the greatest scorer ever. 40k points, 8k playoff points which is even more unbreakable, 25+ ppg for 20 years, 1200 straight double digit scoring games, 6 30+ ppg postseasons (more than KD and Kobe), youngest AND oldest player to average 30.

Poetic that his 40,000th points came on that drive, spin move, finish with the left hand. Probably his signature, most unstoppable move.

Damn a Celtics flair beats me to it, didn’t see that one coming.

The spin move and layup, fitting way to get to 40,000.
Bron was spamming this move in the playoffs in 2015-2018
Doesn’t have 8000 or so playoff points too? Might get to 50 k combined which is also crazy

No one will ever convince me that he’s not the GOAT

Congrats Lebron on 40k points! Greatest of all time!

This man is 39 years old in year 21 and still outperforming 95% of the league. It’s insane and any true basketball fan will be sad when he hangs it up.

For perspective, of the top 50 players with the highest all time points, there are only 6 active players (including Lebron):
Lebron 40k Russel Westbrook 25k Stephen Curry 23k Demar Derozan 23k Chris Paul 22k Damien Lillard 20k
This is such a mind blowing statistic.
