Anthony Davis said he doesn’t think anyone will beat LeBron James’s amazing record of 40,000 total points. Even though Davis acknowledged the amazing shot skills of players like Stephen Curry, he focused on how difficult James’ career is and how likely it is that his point total will keep going up.
“You feel like a young man and guess that it might be Steph who shoots the ball, but it’s not.” It’s hard because he’s still playing, so the gap will only get bigger.
“So Now just telling him in the locker room like he might have to stop breaking records because we always lose any time you break a record.”
“And he made it to eight straight finals, which helps you play longer in the playoffs.” You’ll keep scoring, and then show why he’s the best player on his team by scoring. I don’t think anyone will break his record right now, though.
Davis pointed out that James’s longevity, success in the playoffs, and role as a main scorer throughout his career have all made the gap between him and possible challengers look like it can’t be closed. Davis said that the gap would only get bigger over time since James was still playing and constantly adding to his point total.
When Davis thought about James’s most recent accomplishment, which he reached during the Lakers’ loss to the Denver Nuggets, he joked that the team always loses when James sets marks. Even though it was disappointing to lose, Davis recognized how important James’s achievement was and how it solidified his reputation as one of the best players in NBA history.
James’s incredible stability, skill, and length of time in the league are shown by the fact that he scored 40,000 career points, which is a record. As James keeps setting new records, he stays focused on the success of the team and knows how important each step along the way is.
Davis was not sure that anyone could beat James’ record for most points, but he also understood that sports are uncertain and that new players could make a name for themselves in the league. But for now, James is the only player to score more points than any other player in NBA history. He may leave a reputation that lasts for generations.
