The Lakers faced the Nuggets at home, and James successfully broke through the 40,000-point mark in the regular season and completed the milestone moment, but the Lakers were defeated by the Nuggets and lost the game. But this did not affect James's popularity of breaking the record again, after all, the 40,000 points in the regular season of his NBA career is the best estimate, which is a bit too terrifying. To put it simply, it takes a player who averages more than 24 points per game and plays the full 82 regular season games for 20 consecutive seasons.
As a result, many people began to discuss whether there is still anyone in the NBA who can break through 40,000 points. And Lakers player Anthony Davis talked about it in an interview, and he said that maybe it could be Curry. Curry is just as great, and Bushy Eyebrows likes and respects Curry enough, but to be fair, it's too hard for Curry to accomplish this. Up to now, Curry has scored more than 23,000 points, and if you want to break through 40,000 points, you need to average about 30 points per game and play 7 seasons in full attendance, you must know that Curry is 35 years old, and he does not have an explosive body like James. After all, even if he is an older rookie and selected for the NBA, he has suffered injuries, which is incomparable to James.
Then more people felt that the most likely to reach 40,000 points was Doncic. Because he is still very young and only 25 years old, and he has averaged more than 30 points per game, and has scored nearly 11,000 points so far. If this trend continues, he will need about 12 seasons to complete 40,000 points, and by then he will be about 37 years old, which seems to be somewhat possible. It's just that all this has to be based on the premise that he can neither have injuries nor decline, and at the same time there is an element of personal will.
Looking at the current scoring list of active players, it is Durant who is behind James who is most likely to complete this achievement. He still needs about 12,000 points, which is about 25 points per game in six seasons, which seems more reasonable. After all, the ruptured Achilles tendon has not knocked him down, and his overall competitive form has not dropped significantly. But it's also very difficult, after all, he is also 35 years old. As for the other players, there seems to be little chance of it.
