Giannis Antetokounmpo has made a reasonably insane declare about breaking the all-time scoring document after he reached 21,000 profession factors.
In opposition to the Nets, Giannis scored 29 factors and helped to to snap the Bucks seven-game shedding streak, whereas transferring into forty second on the all-time scoring listing.
After the sport, the Greek Freak was actually feeling himself and made the extraordinarily daring declare that he’ll grow to be the NBA’s highest scorer in historical past very quickly.
“I feel attending to the highest of the scoring listing is just not six, seven or eight years away,” he mentioned. “I feel it’s, for my part, I feel it’s 4 years away—4 or 5 years away, 4 and a half years away. I feel once I’m going to be 35 years outdated and sitting on this chair, need to have a dialogue of I’m within the prime listing of all-time in scoring. And, I might have talked that into existence and never simply discuss that into existence as a result of I imagine that I’m going to do it, it’s one thing that I need to do.”
So let’s analyse that assertion for a minute.
It has taken him 13 seasons to attain 21,000 factors.
If Giannis performs each 82 video games for the following 5 years, he’d must common 53.6 PPG to surpass LeBron at No.1 all-time.
To attain one other 21,000 factors, he would want to common no less than 30 factors per sport over 700 video games. Even he did that, he wouldn’t have scored greater than LeBron.
Scoring 21,ooo factors isn’t any simple feat and in doing so, Giannis grew to become the sixth-youngest participant in league historical past to succeed in 21,000 factors, behind Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, and LeBron James, which solely fuels the 2x MVP extra.
“Initially, we have now to speak about who these guys are as a result of I simply noticed these guys,” Antetokounmpo mentioned. “I feel it’s the GOATs of the GOATs. And I don’t assume anyone disagrees on this room. I don’t assume anyone on this world disagrees; simply to be on that listing with them is unimaginable. Have I completed as a lot as them? I don’t assume so. Do I’ve quite a lot of room to enhance and room to develop in years to maintain on writing my very own legacy? Sure.”
