“Thirty-eight thousand, three hundred and eighty-seven…That’s a lot of f**king buckets!”- Anthony Davis in awe of the record LeBron James is about to chase down

This season, LeBron James is expected to add another major accolade to his historic resume. In his twentieth year in the league, the LA Lakers star is on pace to become the NBA's all-time leading scorer.

For years, everyone thought Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record of 38,387 points was never going to be touched. Now, another Lakers legend sits 1,300 shy of history.

Although LeBron is better known for his passing ability, he will likely be the game's all-time leading scorer by the mid-way point of this year. It is a testament to his elite-level play and his longevity in the league.

As this pursuit of history gets ready to begin, Anthony Davis was asked about the incredible feat. He is still in awe of what his All-Star teammate is on pace to do in the coming months.

“Thirty-eight thousand, three hundred and eighty-seven,” he said like he was committing the number to memory. “Thirty-eight thousand, three hundred and eighty-seven.”

“Thirty-eight thousand, three hundred and eighty-seven,” he said one last time. “That’s a lot of f------ buckets!”

Does LeBron James breaking the all-time scoring record solidify his G.O.A.T case?

Since he first stepped foot in the NBA, LeBron James was put on the path of greatness. Upon entering the league at the age of 18, many felt he had the chance to go down as one of the best players the game has ever seen.

Fast forward two decades, and the Lakers forward has lived up to the hype. His list of achievements includes being an 18-time All-Star, four-time MVP, four-time champion, and four-time Finals MVP.

Even with this long list of accolades, some feel LeBron sits behind Michael Jordan for the title of greatest of all time. Mainly because the Chicago Bulls legend amassed six titles and Finals MVPs during his reign in the 1990's. However, will this new achievement finally be the thing that puts him over the top?

While LeBron might not have the same volume of championships as Jordan, he is not far behind. He will also have another pivotal factor in his favor when he finally decides to hang it up. Nobody in history can say they were as good as he was for as long as he was.

Jordan dominated at his peak, but his time was short due to multiple retirements. Meanwhile, the Lakers star was a top talent in the league every year for two decades. Breaking the all-time scoring record is proof of that, and could be the finishing touch to an incredible career.
