So I guess that means he is 2 away cause he was in the championship game

I don’t think this includes the 2 play in games he’s played so he’s already at 2000

Technically I think the stats for play-in games and IST final are neither regular season nor playoff stats. They just get lost in the ether.

Yeah they’re their own thing. But still a career game. If OP counted international games as a career game then I would’ve assumed IST and Play in also counted

If Olympic qualifier games are included, may as well include preseason too. Hes probably at 2200 if you do a deep dive into every game

remember when “lebron spends a million dollars a year on his body” was a big thing and then people started asking “whats he buying exactly”

Generalized acceptance? No way he’s not on something imo but I’m in the innocent until proven guilty party. Not that it would ever come to light unless he absolutely screwed someone over.

I just can’t imagine every player isn’t taking some form of banned substance. Lost in LeBron being 41 doing this are Curry and KD still doing this at 36 and 37

Players are lasting longer age wise, but ultimately playing shorter seasons as well. I remember when ³⁴⁄₃₅ was completely washed end of bench age. Prime was around ²⁶⁄₂₇.

Now, a larger swath of the dudes in the top 50 of the league are hovering around previous washed age.

i mean that 1 million doesnt include the millions he spends on lawyers to threaten anyone who suggests hes doping

and adam silver would rather gouge out his own eyes than touch lebron

I believe Jeff Teague was intimidated and was suggested to walk it back after blabbing on a pod

SpicyMustard34 | Cavaliers

teague was making a joke, i don’t think he intended for it to be taken seriously. that’s not me saying lebron dopes or not, just that specific situation was not a serious accusation.

parapooper3 | Celtics

Even if he was joking feels pretty “me thinks the lady doth protest too much” that his people called him THAT NIGHT to tell him to shut it up

SpicyMustard34 | Cavaliers

i mean, that’s pretty speculative. i just watched it back and it feels more like teague just shooting the shit with his friends.

11/11/2016 vs the Wizards.

At age 31, he became the youngest player in NBA history to reach the 1,000 game mark.

Still way short of spending 10,000 hours on his craft, the scrub.

LeBron better not have any record setting games coinciding with playoff games, otherwise we chalk that shit up to scheduled losses right now.
