LeBron is 3 games away from being the first player to record 60,000 regular season minutes
Pretty sure this is another record that will never be broken, at 59,906 minutes he’s already 2,500+ ahead of #2 and over 5,000 away from #3

Being a LeBron hater is not for the weak. Everyday I get a 13th reason.
Atleast you’re honest about it.
Yeah nobody’s breaking this shit. Teams don’t play guys for an average of 40 minutes a game anymore and nobody except two players were ever good enough for a long enough period of time to actually rack up these minutes
For reference, Chris Paul who’s considered to have great longevity himself only has 45,836
Westbrook who was elite in availability for years only has 42,540
Harden has 41,475
Curry has just 36,116
Giannis has an impressive 29,110 minutes at age 31 but I’m not sure if that’s even enough to get past 50,000 minutes
Definitely not if these lower body injuries keep occurring.
35 MPG times 75 games is 2625 minutes a season
Do that for 24 seasons (Lebron’s career) and that’s 63000 minutes.
Borderline impossible lmao
if you add up the total minutes of every full 82-game season’s minutes leader from last season all the way back until LeBron’s rookie year you still wouldn’t get 60,000 minutes (59,791), so if someone never had a lockout or pandemic shorten a season they could lead the league in minutes played for 20 years straight and still miss just the 60,000 mark, let alone what the final tally would be.
Lol insane the way Bron will leave his mark for eternity on the game
Those aches and pains are not going to be pleasant in his 60’s.
Yeah but that’s nearly five years away for Lebron. No need to worry about it now.
1,000 hours on the court. Mastery of the basketball subject.
What skill has Lebron actually mastered? I’m being serious, Jordan mastered the mid-range game, Kobe had footwork, Kareem the skyhook, Steph the 3 point shooting, Dennis Rodman rebounding, Kyrie has handles and so on. I think Lebron is the most versatile player in history but he hasn’t really mastered any particular skill. His size and strength make him great, not skill. He is arguably the greatest driver to the rim in nba history but that again is because of size and athleticism, not skill. And before you all say stats, remember stats have to be utilized with context for them to make sense, for example, Karl Malone is the 3rd in points but no one considers him in the goat debate or as a particular master in any one basketball skill. Lebron is the all time leading scorer but you wouldn’t say he is a better scorer than Kevin Durant.
Ragebait straight from tiktok
BBIQ
I see the low IQ nba subs drama has leaked into the comments here at r/nba.
People love to complain about load management, but damn does it work.
What does this mean? LeBron wouldn’t be able to achieve those minutes with load management
Not sure about that game is softer than before guys play less minutes per game yet nba injuries are at a all time high
Doesn’t take much to stand around playing no defense and diming to Luka while Rich Paul strongarms the league into giving you playtime and contracts forever. Lakers FO already told us
LeBron only getting play time because of Rich Paul is a hilarious thing to think of
No need to entertain this dude. Just go through his comments history and that tells you everything. People just come here to ragebait.
wtf are you trying to say? You have to be one of the best for a very long time with minimal injuries to do this. That’s why we’re is only 1 person.
How many flops does James have? How many points scored against his teams while he is crying to the refs? I mean if we are just looking for random stats for the books…
Get that hate outcha heart, brother.
Its gonna be ok.
