NBA legend and Los Angeles Lakers‘ former big man Shaquille O’Neal recently made an interesting proclamation regarding LeBron James’ pursuit of the all-time scoring record. He confidently stated that he believes James’ record will remain unchallenged for the next 60 to 70 years, highlighting the extraordinary nature of James’ talent and his ability to defy the normal trajectory of aging players.

During his recent appearance on ESPN, Shaq shed light on James’ meticulous approach to his quest for the scoring record, elevating his pursuit from mere statistics to a strategic legacy-building endeavor. Having already surpassed legends like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the late great Kobe Bryant, James is not merely accumulating points but crafting a narrative that will endure through generations.

“You know a lot of us when we get old we’re not the same player, for example, in my last year I definitely wasn’t Shaq. I was chasing number five and just wanted to play with the Celtics but he looks pretty good. He already has the most points, he passed Kareem, and he wants to take it to a place where the record will never be broken for the next 60 to 70 years. I know exactly what he’s doing,” Shaq said.

Shaq reveals compelling stats favoring LeBron James in the Greatest of All Time debate over Michael Jordan

The ongoing NBA debate over the title of the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) in basketball took a fresh turn, thanks to Shaquille O’Neal’s Instagram story a month back. Shaq shared an image displaying the stat of all-time leaders in MVP points, where LeBron James emerged as the frontrunner with an impressive 40,494 points, overshadowing Michael Jordan‘s 7,957 points.

The significance of this statistic lies in James’ ability to maintain peak performance even in his late 30s, a feat that sets him apart in the GOAT conversation. Unlike Jordan, whose career saw interruptions due to retirements and 3 college years at North Carolina, James’ sustained excellence forms a compelling argument for his greatness.

Shaq’s decision to share that particular image, although his exact intent remains unclear, has reignited the discussion since last month, highlighting James’ unmatched impact on the game. By emphasizing king James’ staggering MVP points, Shaq inadvertently strengthens James’ case as the GOAT.

As James enters his 21st season in the NBA, he does so not as just another player, but as a force to be reckoned with and he undoubtably destined to change the whole NBA.
