NBALeBron James reached 40,000 career points, finding himself more alone than ever at the top. Can anyone hope to join him one day? Anthony Davis gave a surprising answer.

Having become the best scorer in NBA history some time ago, LeBron James is now the only one to pass the 40,000 points mark. Knowing that the King’s career is not yet over, we say to ourselves that it will be very difficult to dethrone him, especially when we take a closer look at his longevity. But Anthony Davis has an idea.

Will LeBron’s record be broken?

Although the Laker does not see how anyone can do better than James, he believes that Stephen Curry could be next. A bit surprising for the leader of the Warriors, today with more than 23,000 points, all at 35 years old. It should be remembered that the double MVP was a little late at the start of his career, notably due to ankle problems.

On the supporters’ side, it is difficult to understand the answer. Curry seems to be way too late and don’t count on him playing until he’s 45 either. A Luka Doncic, who starts on a huge basis, would certainly be a more plausible candidate.

I think it’ll be Luka or Wemby or somebody not even in the league. They have to play at least 20 years and average like 27 or more lol

AD does realize Curry is 35 right?

AD knows Curry is 35 right?

Luka Doncic could reach the 40,000 points mark, while it is still too early to comment on Victor Wembanyama. One thing is certain: this record will last a long time.
