LeBron currently has 8,023 playoff pts, most all time. Jordan is in 2nd place with 5,987. That means if LeBron can get to 9000, he would have more than 50% more pts than the 2nd top scorer all-time in the payoffs.

Obviously time is working against him, but he was able to rack up 392 pts last year in the run to the WCF. It would likely take 2-3 more sizable runs with him playing excellent. Is this too farfetched to happen? Or will LeBron's longevity amaze us all again?

Can his playoff power be OVER 9000!?!

[–] MrAppleSpoink@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Propbably not. We keep saying "he's only got a year or two left" and then he just keeps going like it's nothing, but I really do think he's on his last legs these next 2 years. Unless we make the finals this year and next and LeBron continues his absurd scoring, it's probably not happening.

Can he? Yes.

Will he? Nobody knows.

He would need 3 more conference finals appearances give or take? Seems like a tough ask as it is unlikely he plays more than 3 more seasons right?

[–] Plastic_Blood1782@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I think this is very unlikely. He would need 4 more playoff runs at least

I think there is zero chance of this one. This is probably his last year with a deep run possibility.
