After the Los Angeles Lakers forward became the first player in NBA history to score 39,000 points on Tuesday night, fans are now recognizing LeBron James’ superiority over Michael Jordan.

Jamеs, who is 38 years old, succeeded in achieving the feat early on against the Utah Jazz, causing fans to return to the debate about the greatest of all time.

 

A supporter wrote on X (which was then known as Twitter) that “this is why LeBron James is better than Michael Jordan.”

As another fan spat out, “I can’t even begin to fathom what his numbers will be after ten more seasons.”

In February, James became the all-time leading scorer in the National Basketball Association (NBA) after surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s total of 38,387 points. The accomplishment has become an additional layer to a debate that continues to divide the National Basketball Association (NBA) fanbase.

When discussing the most talented player of all time, James and Jordan (abo) are frequently compared to one another in debates.

“When everything is said and done, no one will ever break his record,” said another fan. “No one will come close.” They will be required to continue to excel for a period of twenty-five years.

As of Tuesday, James only required a total of five points to establish a new record. As the Lakers defeated the Jazz by a score of 131-99, he finished the night with 17 points, nine assists, and a total of seven total rebounding plays.

The same thing that happened on Tuesday also moved James to the seventh spot on the all-time list for three-pointers. With a total of 2,290 three-pointers, James is tied with Vince Carter, while Damian Lillard’s total of 2,421 is leading the pack.

Despite the fact that James has demonstrated his superiority in terms of scoring, Jordan continues to be ahead of him in other aspects.

Among the NBA Championships and Most Valuable Player awards, Jordan has won six, while James has won four of each. In addition, Jordan has a perfect record of 6-0 in the NBA Finals, whereas James has a record of 4-6 in his ten appearances in the finals.

James is currently in his 21st season since he was first drafted in the year 2003. He is currently averaging 25.7 points per game, and the Los Angeles Lakers continue to be one of the most formidable competitors in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

In spite of his age, James does not exhibit any signs of slowing down, and he freely admits that he desires to engage in play with both of his sons in the vicinity.

Over the course of this season, the Lakers have achieved a record of 9-6 and have won their last three games. As of right now, they are ranked sixth in the Western Conference, and they are scheduled to play home to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday evening.
