“LeBron James Passing up Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in Same Season is Insane”: NBA Twitter is Excited For Lakers Superstar’s 2022-23 season
As unrealistic as it sounds, LeBron James could become the No. 1 all-time scoring player and No. 4 all-time assists in the 2022-23 season.
Another season is about to start, and we’d be back at the same old debate about whether LeBron James is the GOAT.
Why is he or isn’t he better than Michael Jordan?
The main points of discussion would be the same. LeBron’s longevity, MJ’s much better accomplishments in less time, so far and so on.
But this year, entering his 20th season, the LA Lakers’ 18x All-Star will top two purple and gold legends who are also no slouch in GOAT debates, in two major statistical categories.

Yes, as crazy as it is, a man is going to pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the all-time scoring list and Magic Johnson on the all-time assists list.
NBA Twitter is excited about the possibility of LeBron James beating two GOATs in one season
The 18x All-Star is 1,325 points behind Kareem, who has been at the top of the scoring list since 1989. He would need only about 16 points per game if he can play all 82 games in the 2022-23 season to cross that mark. . .
And just 97 assists behind Magic and 290 assists behind Steve Nash to become the fourth best assist provider of all time.
LeBron James needs just 97 assists to pass Magic Johnson on the all-time assist ladder 🤯

If someone prophesied this 20 years ago, even for this greatest high school prodigy of all time, we’d ask it to be real.
This is not what a player was supposed to do and he wasn’t sure with this ease and he was still playing hot at 37 years of age. The NBA Twitter echoes the same.
