LeBron is sitting at 42,250 career points, and Giannis is at 21,002. That means Giannis needs 21,249 more points to pass LeBron for the all-time scoring title.
Now, letโs assume LeBron retires in the next 45 minutes. If Giannis wanted to break the record in just 4 years, heโd need to average 63 points per game while playing all 82 games each season. ๐
I even ran the numbers for an 8-year timelineโheโd need to average 33 points per game for 8 straight seasons while playing all 82 games. Thatโs technically doable scoring-wise, but I donโt know if heโs staying healthy enough to suit up every night!
Giannis has 21,002 points as of today, which is 21,248 points remaining. He plays about 63-73 games, so letโs say about 65 games a year to be reasonable. With 15 games this season, thatโs 50 more games this season and 65*4 games in the next four seasons, leaving 310 games left. Giannis would therefore realistically need to average around 68 ppg to achieve this. Even if he played every game from now on, which is 82*4 + 61(the bucks have played 21 games so far), Giannis would still need to average around 55 ppg.
Of active players I would say Luka has the best shot, but i donโt see Luka playing til an old age, I could see him retiring around 33-35. Trae Young may have a chance depending on how long he plays. Ant as well.

What?
Not gonna happen buddy
Someone should tell him that he'd need to average 5k points per year to do it in 5 years. Or 2.5k points per year to do it in 10 ๐
Is he talking Bucks all time list?
It's Giannis…..you already know he's just playing with them
Who knows?
I know Garnett said, "Anything is possible."
I'm still waiting for someone to say he wants to break Bill Russel's rings record๐๐๐
WTF is he talking about? He avg. 1620 total points a yr, to get 21k more points you need 13 more yrs my guy….smh WTF is he thinking about๐

Giannis the type mf that will write a 10k word essay saying the same damn thing over and over๐
If bro could pump up and hit more threes consistently he could definitely be top in 7 years
