This is a mix of a lot of things.
Inasmuch as I am a Michael Jordan fan (because I am 40 years old and I am a Chicago Bulls fan during the 90s), it's hard to say that LeBron James is a chump for every accomplishment he has done.
LBJ came into the league when he was young and while the rest of his batchmates struggled, he had dibs on Cleveland's top spot. And then he was able to sustain his grip on superstardom up until his late 30s.
It's all about James' cyborg body. If he can have all the luck and exploit everything to his advantage (his talents, popularity, opportunities, and perks), of course, he's going to smash records. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, for his part, also had this cyborg body up until the entry of Magic Johnson to Los Angeles where he entrusted the keys to the team to him.
In some ways, if Jabbar had the scoring awesomeness of Jordan, he could have protected his record from guys like LeBron.
With that said, the crappy thing about this record is that it came at a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. After scoring 36 points in the first three quarters, LBJ was held down to two in the fourth. It was as if during the impromptu program, the Thunder players were thinking they were pushed to the side.
This is why James is a polarizing player. This is not an attack on Lebron but merely stating a fact why Jordan is still seen by many as the greatest of all time despite coming into the league after spending a couple of seasons in college, getting injured in his second year, and further messing up his all-time scoring numbers by retiring twice.
As they say, you can't have it all. And in my opinion, while Michael Jordan is the greatest player for a lot of people, if you want to be a generational NBA player, then a person needs to follow the career path of LeBron James.
