LeBron passing the scoring record to become the new NBA's top scorer leader of all time, not suddenly make him the GOAT

This past Tuesday, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James made history in the NBA as he became the new top scorer leader of all time after passing the legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's previous record.

And this latest milestone by King James doesn't suddenly make him become the NBA's GOAT. Instead, this is because LeBron already was the league's GOAT game ever seen.

There is two stat that shows that LeBron is different from any player the league has ever seen. First, LeBron is the oldest player to ever average 30 points by far. Something Kobe wasn't able to pull off in his year 20 in the league.

LeBron's record that no one talks about

LeBron just passed Kareem but also has another record no one talks about. James has scored the most career points in the playoffs, with 7,631 points.
