Despite the Los Angeles Lakers having one of the worst seasons in franchise history, LeBron James has been phenomenal.

Adding to his already glorious NBA career, LeBron passed Karl Malone to take number 2 in the All-Time scoring list.

In an interesting turn of events, a stat put out on Twitter by an eminent analyst brings another twist to the GOAT debate. According to Chris Broussard, LeBron will finish with more points than Michael Jordan and more assists than Magic Johnson.

James recently passed the great Karl Malone to take the second position in the NBA All-Time Scoring list, just behind Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Currently, LeBron has 36,947 points compared to Jabbar’s 38,387. (Source: NBA.com) With LeBron looking in no mood to slow down despite being in his 19th year in the NBA, it seems like just a matter of time when LeBron passes Kareem.

Although LeBron had a night to remember, the Los Angeles Lakers faced another defeat. During the matchup against the Washington Wizards, the Lakers dropped crucial points as the Wizards breezed past the Lakers with a 127-119 win.

Moreover, popular analyst Chris Broussard has a bold prediction regarding James. According to him, LeBron will have more points than Michael Jordan and more assists than Magic Johnson. Although James has already passed Jordan in scoring, he is yet to pass Magic.

Currently, Magic takes the 6th position in the all-time assists list, with LeBron just beside him. Interestingly enough, King James was dubbed as a combination of Jordan and Magic and he is going to pass them both. With this stat coming through, the GOAT debate has turned upside down.

Although Jordan has the titles, LeBron clearly has the better stats as the fans and the media continue the Jordan vs James debate. However, it is almost futile to compare the two, as they are two different players playing in two different generations.
