Live broadcast, February 1st News NBA data expert Kirk Goldsberry listed James’s regular season scores and playing time data in the article.
In the 76-year history of NBA, only 7 people have played for 50000 minutes or more, and only one active player is James. The other six people are: Jabbar, Malone, Nowitzki, Garnett, Kidd and Elvin-hyes.
James’s regular season play time is 53592 minutes (data statistics as of January 31), and the regular season play time maintained by Jabbar is 57446 minutes, with a difference of 3854 minutes. Goldsberry thinks that James can not only break Jabbar’s scoring record, but also break Jabbar’s playing time record.
Goldsberry also said that although Durant, Harden and Curry may have more scoring talents than James, they cannot maintain a long and healthy career like James. Therefore, it is difficult for any active player to surpass James in terms of scoring and playing time.
