LeBron James has been playing in the NBA for nearly 21 seasons since the 03 season. During these seasons, he has created personal statistics that are beyond the reach of future generations, and it can be said that they cannot be surpassed. Let's take a look at the five records set by James that may never be broken and are difficult for future generations to touch.
Fifth: Historical Scoring King
When James' total score exceeded 40,000 points, it had already proven that this statistic would make future generations look up in awe. Currently, James has scored a total of 41,301 points in his career so far. Moreover, the current NBA has strict rules that do not allow high school graduates to participate in the draft, while James entered the NBA at the age of 18 right after high school graduation. This data is probably something that future generations really can't break. If James can play until he is 45 years old without any accidents, he could easily achieve over 45,000 points.
Fourth: 8,162 Playoff Points
From the 03 season to now, I just checked and found that James currently has a total of 8,162 playoff points, ranking first in history. He has played a total of 287 playoff games. Jordan's total playoff points were 5,987, which is 2,175 points less than James. Seeing these statistics, I myself am amazed by James. Thinking about who among future generations could break this record, it's even more terrifying that James is still active in the league and can still average over 20 points per game.
Third: Five Statistical Categories Leading Both Teams in the Finals
The five statistical categories refer to points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. In the 16-year finals, James led the Cavaliers against the 73-win Warriors with a 1-3 deficit. James led the team to win three consecutive games and captured the championship with the highest gold content in his career. In these seven finals games, let's take a look at James' total statistics: 208 points, 79 rebounds, 82 assists, 18 steals, and 16 blocks. These five statistical categories were the highest for both the Warriors and Cavaliers, and it was also the only time in NBA history that such a feat occurred in the finals.
Second: Continuous 21 Seasons Averaging Over 20 Points
In the NBA, being able to maintain an average of over 20 points for 5 seasons should be considered All-Star level. Maintaining an average of over 20 points for more than ten consecutive seasons should be considered superstar level. What should we call maintaining an average of over 20 points for 21 consecutive seasons? It should be called a super superstar. James has maintained this record for 21 consecutive seasons so far, which is inseparable from his self-discipline. This record is also the only one in the NBA to date. Considering that James is still playing, it's possible for him to maintain this record for 22, 23, or even 24 seasons.
First: Continuous 1,254 Games Scoring in Double Digits
Since entering the league, James has scored in double digits in a total of 1,516 games, including a continuous streak of 1,254 games scoring in double digits. I believe this statistic should rank first, and it's unlikely that future generations will have the opportunity to surpass it. I also checked Jordan's record, and Jordan only had a continuous streak of 866 games scoring in double digits, with a difference of 388 games between the two. That's the gap!
