Lakers superstar LeBron James is the oldest player in the league in the new season and will turn 39 at the end of the year. Last season, he broke the record of Hall of Fame legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and became the NBA’s all-time scoring leader. Shaquille O’Neal bluntly stated in a recent interview that James wants to raise the scoring record to 60 years. Breakable realm.
James currently has accumulated 38,652 points, only 1,348 points away from the 40,000-point milestone. Except for missing more games in the 2020-21 season, James can score at least 1,500 points every season, and reaching the record is just around the corner.
O’Neal pointed out that many players are not as good as before as they age. For example, when he joined the Celtics, he just wanted to win the fifth championship as a team, but the 38-year-old James is different. “He looks great this season. Now he is the league’s all-time scoring leader, and he must want to push the record to a level that will not be broken for the next 60 years. I know exactly what he is doing.”
O’Neal also analyzed James’ mentality towards last season’s championship Golden Nuggets, “In order to become a champion, you must defeat the champion. The Golden Nuggets are the champion. James and the Lakers both understand that they must defeat the Golden Nuggets. Many people, including me, want the Lakers to win.”
