[Update] The 0.5 LeBron James Club- A compilation of players with half or more of LeBron’s career totals in the primary box score stats.
u/InexorableWaffle did this post a year ago. So I figured I’d update it.
The methodology is simple: to make the club, you need at least half of LeBron’s current career totals in all five categories.
LeBron finished 2025-26 with 43,440 points, 12,016 assists, 12,095 rebounds, 2,417 steals, and 1,185 blocks, making the new Half-LeBron thresholds 21,720 points, 6,008 assists, 6,048 rebounds, 1,209 steals, and 593 blocks.
With that said, here’s the club:
| Player | Points | Assists | Rebounds | Blocks | Steals |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LeBron James | 43,440 | 12,016 | 12,095 | 1,185 | 2,417 |
| Kobe Bryant | 33,643 | 6,306 | 7,047 | 640 | 1,944 |
| James Harden | 29,339 | 8,873 | 6,809 | 683 | 1,794 |
| Clyde Drexler | 22,195 | 6,125 | 6,677 | 719 | 2,207 |
| Half LeBron James | 21,720 | 6,008 | 6,048 | 593 | 1,209 |
Drexler is barely hanging on. His 22,195 career points are only 475 above the current threshold. Another 951 LeBron points would raise Half-LeBron above Drexler’s career total and kick him out of the club.
Kobe’s weak point is assists. He finished with 6,306, compared with the current Half-LeBron line of 6,008. LeBron would need another 597 assists to push the threshold past him.
Jokić
He’s at 18,009 points, 8,977 rebounds, 6,080 assists, 1,041 steals, and 589 blocks.
That means he already clears the rebound and assist thresholds and is really close in blocks, four blocks short of Half-LeBron.
He needs another 3,711 points and 168 steals at the current thresholds, though obviously LeBron will continue raising both numbers this season.
Still, Jokić is only 31 and just averaged 28/13/11 assists last season. Of everyone outside the club, he looks by far the most likely to eventually get there.
Giannis
Giannis is closer in some categories than Jokić and much farther away in another.
He has 21,531 points, 8,882 rebounds, 4,484 assists, 995 steals, and 1,088 blocks.
He’s only 189 points short of the current scoring threshold and already annihilates the rebound and block requirements. But assists are a huge problem: he still needs 1,524 just to reach today’s Half-LeBron mark, plus another 214 steals.
So Giannis should clear four of the five eventually, but whether he can ever catch the assist line, especially while LeBron keeps raising it, is the real question.
KD
He has 32,597 points, 8,254 rebounds, 5,280 assists, 1,235 steals, and 1,344 blocks.
He clears literally everything except assists.
Unfortunately, he’s still 728 assists short of the current cutoff, and he’s 37. I don’t see it happening tbh.

There’s also a second group I find interesting: players who clear four of the five Half-LeBron thresholds and are excluded by exactly one category.
