Lebron surpassed KAJ almost 40 decades of reign in terms of all time points leader.

What all time main stats will be surpassed first?

LIST

Wilt - 23924 all time Rebs

Stockton - 15806 all time Asts

Stockton - 3265 all time Stls

Hakeem - 3830 all time Blks

What will be surpassed first among them in your prediction?

I think the rebounds one is truly 100% unbreakable, the game isn't played in a way that allows that many rebounds anymore. Lets say we even take the most rebounds in a season in all of the 2000s (Andre Drummond has a year with 1247). It would take into the 20th season of being better than anyone has in 20+ years.

Assists is unbeatable too! If you combine the last 20 years assist leader per year, you didn’t even come close to Stockton’s record. It’s totally crazy

Wemby would need to average his current block rate for 20 years playing 70 games a season, and that's easily the most likely one

Steals might be possible too. It would take a guy playing like New Orleans Chris Paul for an extended stretch though.

I actually think wemby has the potential to break the all time blocks record in 17 seasons

[–] jonbrett@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Same bro, why can't he do it in twelve maybe even ten years.

[–] EbbRevolutionary3225@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don't see any of them being surpassed.

Maybe Wemby in regards to Blocks? They’re all pretty much set in stone for the foreseeable future though.

[–] GaidenIsGod@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

These might be the ones no one touches. The game would have to make another large shift imo.

Hakeems

More opportunities these days. The rest are outlandish

Blocks, but I still don’t see that happening. Wemby would have to average 3 blocks playing 82 games for 16 seasons.

Not listed here but I think 3 pointers made will get broken again in the foreseeable future. Probably like 10-15 years after Curry retires someone will get it

[–] Choice-Meeting1143@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think so too. Because many future nba players will try to be wanna Steph Curryish. And will take a lot of threes.

40 decades?

[–] pantzking@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nobody is passing LeBrons turnover record.

[–] 2020IsANightmare@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

To put Wilt's boards record into context, someone would have to play all 82 games and average 10 boards a game for 29 years. And still need a few more boards.

Stockton played 19 seasons and averaged 80 games a year.

I don't think the blocks record gets beaten either just due to the evolution of the game. More and more bigs are playing around the perimeter. Which means more and more defenders are being moved away from the paint.

I think the nba has hit a ceiling for the foreseeable future. Most of them use PEDs already, until better drugs come out, were just going to see similar superhuman stats across the board for years.
