Lebron ending up one of the best scoring poinst in NBA history wont matter at all when his legacy is discussed in the future. Great player are right judged by playoffs,finals performance. You cant be great hall of famer by dominating in the little leagues that is the regular season.
Lebron,Kobe type players who become NBA stars at 18 will naturally score more before they retire because of their long careers,thier ability.
Karl Malone dont he have more points in alltime list than Jordan ? Scoring points isnt the only way to judge. I dont even know how high Jordan is on that list but his dominating in the playoffs,finals is what his reputation build on. Not having less points than Karl Malone.....

Are yall serious?
If Lebron were to go down with a career ending injury right now he'd without a doubt be HOF worthy.
Two time MVP award winner
NBA scoring title
5 time all NBA first team
3 time all NBA defensive team
Rookie of the year
8 time NBA All Star
2 time all star game MVP
Two eastern conference championships
Olympic gold medal winner
The only thing Lebron HASN'T done is win a NBA title.....There are guys in the hall of fame right now who aren't as accomplished as Lebron.

Of course he is hall of famer but he wont be one of the great hall of famers if he doesnt lead his team to title specially when he has the best team in NBA with another great in Wade.

I guess greats like Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullen, Chris Webber, Reggie Miller, Dominique Wilkins. Karl Malone and John Stockton just aren't considered great HoFers then. That sound silly to anyone else? Thought so.
Also Jordan's a unique case as his two retirements kept his overall stat totals lower, if you look at his per game stats you'll find interesting things, for example how he has the highest career PPG average of any NBA player ever.

Eh, Hakeem had Drexler for at least one of his rings, and the 95/6 Rocket teams were both outstanding.

He had Drex for the second one, but the first team wasn't very good at all. Starting 5 was: Originally Posted by Hiromi

Some decent players, and I love Big Shot Bob, but Hakeem aside none of those guys belong anywhere near the HoF.The Jaw Squad is dead. Long live the Jaw.

Elgin Baylor never won an NBA Championship...He actually retired the season that Lakers team dominated the rest of the league.

I say this as a LeBron fan: he isn't as great as Barkley, Ewing, Mullen (well actually, he is better than Mullen), Webber, Miller, or Wilkins yet. He soon will be, though. Originally Posted by Hiromi

He was drafted in the war, only reason why he didnt get one. The lakers won a ring when he was drafted. He tried to get them give him one.He didn't play enough games to qualify for one Originally Posted by Kasper Cole

The Pacers/Magic game has been great. With Dwight Howard gone, I can actually root for Orlando, the underdogs.

Celtics beat the Lakers for the championship the year Baylor was on active duty. He'd been a reservist, and was called up, not drafted. He was stationed in Washington, so he only played on the weekends. Originally Posted by Cavemold
