    Well it says fastest, not youngest, so games played are taken into consideration, lol

      Yeah Oscar was the only one to reach the 20/5/5 faster, I'm not sure by how many games though.

        In every instance I've seen it mentioned the measure is age, not games played (that goes for both LBJ and KB). If someone's got the goods and can point me to them then great. I'll gladly stfu. Let me here from you.

          Oscar reached the milestone at 673 games played. Margin of error is +/- 3 games. LeBron reached it in 726 games.

              Well Kobe reached 30,000 at 34, LeBron 20,000 at 28. Do you guys think LeBron could get to 34,000?

                He definitely could as long as he stays free of major injuries for another 6 or 7 seasons.

                  I do. Don't remember the stat exactly but I'm pretty sure it's something like..if LeBron averages 25ppg for 10 more years, he'll be the all time leading scorer in NBA history.

                      No chance that happens.

                      LeBron James will not be averaging 25ppg at 36-37-38 years old. Especially at the usage rate he's sitting at now. Guy might not be able to walk at that age, let alone score a basketball.

                        Yeah but he could cut lots off that if he continues to average 28ish for the next 3-4 years?

                          The dude isn't even playing 40 minutes per game. Back in the day guys like Russell, Oscar, Wilt, Baylor used to play well over 40 minutes per game. I'm sure Kareem did too..

                          LeBrons physique is phenomenal. The shoes and other gear are way more advanced that back then. Also the medical treatment today's players receive is more advanced as well.

                          No reason to just automatically say he can't do it. We'll see how it plays out

                            The whole "LeBron is gonna be burned out" is one of the most overblown things in the NBA. For an average athlete yes, but LeBron is probably the best athlete since MJ, he's not going to burn out at like 33, especially if he keeps improving his shooting.

                              Look man

                              Its not just minutes. I don't care what kind of tech we have or what kind of shoes they make...lebron wears ice packs on his knees like everybody else does.

                              He could have the body of Thor, but he gets tired too sometimes. All it takes is one time

                              Lebron carries too much responsibility sometimes and part of that is on spo.


                              When he's 34 y'all will be talking about how many minutes he logged and all of that stuff

                                Maybe, but one, LeBron has only averaged over 28, four times in his career, all coincidentally coming in Cleveland.

                                Secondly, LeBron isn't that player anymore and he isn't on that type of team anymore where he has to be a chucker to help them win, and I think even if he was, his game is so much more well rounded, he doesn't have to superhero a team to a win in terms of forcing his shots up.

                                And again, the wear this guy is enduring right now is unprecedented. He's is not a god, and he's not going to last forever. Being in the league from 18 years old is a lot of NBA mileage, especially with the work load he has and the minutes he's played in his career.

                                Just not going to happen.
