Shaquille O'Neal believes if LeBron James passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on NBA's all-time scoring list the Lakers star should be considered greatest ever.
James averaged 25 points last season and has averaged 27 points through 18 years in the NBA.Despite the efforts of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Lakers’ shooting and defensive woes added up to a 121-114 loss to the Golden State Warriors.
If James were to average at least 25 points over the next two seasons, he would pass Abdul-Jabbar sometime during the 2022-23 season, taking about 120 games to do so.James, who turns 37 in December, has won four titles, one with the Lakers in 2020. “He’s got four rings and he becomes the highest scorer in the NBA history. He’s the best ever,” O’Neal said. “Ain’t nothing you can say.
“Cause if I would have passed Wilt [Chamberlain] in scoring, you know me. I would have been, ‘I’m the most dominate ever.’ I don’t want to hear [Chamberlain’s] name no more.”James is signed with the Lakers for two more seasons, making $41.1 million this season and $44.4 million next season. “I mean, that’s what he is really trying to do,” O’Neal said. “Ring No. 5 would be cool, but if he get’s that leading scorer, the highest scorer ever in the league … I’d take that.
