LeBron James is the NBA's all-time scoring leader. Here is a list of ways to contextualize his point total.

  1. In the collective regular-season and post-season, LeBron James has scored more total points (51,961) than Clyde Drexler and Allen Iverson combined (51,637). Yet, he has two more years on his contract.

  2. LeBron has scored 4,865 more points than Bird and Magic combined, despite having fewer total NBA appearances than the two careers added together.

  3. Let's estimate that LeBron will average ~23 PPG on 65 games a year in Philadelphia. This brings his point total to ~55,600. As of Oct. 16 2026, that is more than Michael Jordan and Luka Dončić combined (54,997).

  4. LeBron's 20-point games alone (46,611) outscore Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's entire career (44,149). This means you need remove all 335 games he's scored under 20 points before you can call him nr. 2 on the all-time scoring list.

This makes him GOAT over Magic for me. Magic did achieve more but Steph’s shooting and gravity is a singularity. Dude weaponized the 3 ball and now the entire game of basketball on all levels imaginable- play around this style.

His influence transcends magics achievements. Magic ranks higher as a player but Steph has a strong case for Greatest of all time PG!

This is a playoff matchup I would love to see. The Pacers try to tire you out by making you play fast like you’re in a track meet, and the Detroit Pistons suffocate offenses with their size and strength. I would really like to see which team imposes their will on the game.

Buss siblings file new court document opposing Jeanie's petition to remove them as trustees

Post image
17 Upvotes

Joey and Janie Buss filed a 29-page document opposing their sister's petition to remove them as co-trustees, which would void the siblings' 5-1 vote to sell the family's remaining stake in the team.

The filing argues their right to hold the vote to sell and highlights trust language stating a sale requires a two-thirds majority, which they exceeded. It also challenges the breadth of Jeanie's rights as a co-trustee and acting governor, and argues Jeanie's contempt claim lacks merit since the siblings "exercised voting rights expressly granted to them as beneficiaries."

On the initial vote, Jeanie was the only one of the six siblings to vote against the sale. This whole mess ties directly into the Iger-Kushner purchase and the team's valuation. Feels like this drags on well past opening night at this rate.

Who’s the best player here?

Ryan Rollins is not the player a lot of Bucks fans think he is.

13 Upvotes

I’m posting here because [r/MkeBucks](r/MkeBucks) is a cult full of fake Bucks fans that have zero knowledge of basketball.

Ryan Rollins is not really that good of a player. He is a kind of talented scorer and capable defender and that’s it. He does nothing to make players around him better. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him create an easy shot for someone else with his playmaking ability. He should not be one of the players they are hoping to be part of their future as they figure out who they are post Giannis.

Brayden Burries hasn’t even played a regular season game yet and I can tell you he’s already 10X better than Rollins. He’s literally better at everything except maybe as a one on one defender. Rollins should be Burries’ backup so that the team can get back to being relevant sooner than later. Burries is more than capable and plays mature enough. He doesn’t need to be eased into the pros like a lesser player might.

In fact, KPJ is better than Rollins. The best move might be to trade Rollins for whatever they can get before everyone realizes that he’s not that good.
