LeBron James has the most career turnovers with 4,971 turnovers. Thats about 500 more than the next guy who also played about 20 years, Karl Malone.

Everyone is saying "LeBron is the goat, he scored the most points in the NBA" and when everyone points out its because of his longevity, his fanbois dismiss the argument.

But when someone tries to bring on turnovers, here comes LeExcuses: "thats because he played 20 years, of course he has the most turnovers".

Just today he had 8 turnovers and in the topic about his terrible pass everyone was clowing on DLo instead of blaming LeTurnover. How tf is this possible?

You don’t know basketball so why should anyone try to explain it to you

You’re not a detective, you’re just stupid.

You have outed yourself as another example of a man who watches stats not basketball.

You do realize that players who are counted on to create plays also have more turnovers right?

Now compare career assists.

Are we still allowed to use the phrase "dickriding" because thats all it is.

This is so dumb.

His turnover to assist ratio is 2.09. That's good. LeBron also has 10,442 career assists. Karl Malone has 5248 career assists. People who are playmakers have more turnovers. Karl Malone is not a playmaker and still is second all time.

You cannot get the career scoring record based on Longevity alone lmao. LeBron is 6th all-time in PPG lmao. Luka would have to average over 27 PPG for over 20 years to have a chance of catching LeBron FYI.

They're lots of players who have similar usage rates to LeBron that will never come close to event thinking of passing him lmao.

You thought this was an "ah-hah" moment didn't you?

But when someone tries to bring on turnovers

Why do turnovers suddenly matter?

Lebron isn’t the Goat. There, I answered the question for you.

Karl Malone assisted on 5,248 baskets in his career.

Michael Jordan has a higher turnover/assist ratio than LeBron does
