    bronny maybe 2-3 more years. I think Brice has a chance to get there faster than his brother but he is younger.

    **** Enes, but I agree. I'll never forgive Lebron over talking down on Morey acting as if Morey had no clue why he tweeted what he tweeted. Calling him ignorant when he was the damn fool all along.

    Yeah even Luka is only averaging like 60 games a season so it's tough. Giannis is hurt by being a baby his first 3 years before physically developing. That's going to hurt him totals wise. Trae Young started hot early and only 24 but same thing as luka, just missing too many games early but the averages are there if multiplied by 20 seasons.
    Even LeBron has played a lot of half seasons since his mid 30s, but he did pretty much luck into the NBA going video game mode at that right time so he didn't' need the volume of games anymore. He has averaged 30 the last 2 seasons after trending down to 25 and below and then the NBA blew up and now everyone is averaging 30 and getting triple doubles left and right. Was it manufactured that way for his scoring leader run? Probably not, but Silver wants this NBA to be about scoring high volume and big gaudy stats and that's clear.
    MJ's scoring wouldn't have been very impressive if all his peers were doing the same damn things and even better tbh. But, lets say you want to compare MJ or Kobe, but you can't because the league was slow as molasses pace. 45 points was more than half of the Bulls points in g6 of the finals in his last game as a Bull. Imagine if that game was in the 140's. Imagine if those 6 rings were at this crazy pace, i mean you start looking at most of his career being played at that 37.1ppg, 3k pts in a season pace without 3's. Kobe with no Achilles tear at 34? He probably passes Kareem by 38 or does he? The NBA wasn't letting everyone get 30 a game at that point yet so he wouldn't have benefitted the way LeBron has so maybe he would have naturally trended down, but i think Kobe would have wanted it and went for it.

    DEN: 146 pts
    MIN: 112.

    Rudy: 0pts, 0/2 shooting, 5reb in 19 min.

    Not scoring is one thing, this Rudy led defense allowed 146 pts. This Rocket-esque territory.

    Scoring is up. So the record is ripe to be taken. And the kids are entering the league early. So time is not the factor. Only health. It's doable because the game is trending in the right direction.

    The all-time block record is likely going to fall sometime as well because there is so much action at the rim in today's game. And while height is not the trend, guys are above the rim like never before. Think somebody will come along. Lebron with only 1000 blocks is surprising. Robert Horry has 1000 blocks too.

    I suspect you didn't quite catch on to what I was doing there.
