JJ single-handedly carrying ESPN's basketball analysis while running one of the best NBA podcasts out there
You guys don't recognize when a troll is deliberately trying to trigger an argument that could EASILY spiral completely out of control?
@King Dawg j wills is a clown trys to hard
He said Larry Bird isn't one of the best 3 point shooters of all time. He is a clown 🤡
He just needs to make that pod HIM ONLY
JJ calls is how it was and is the same way Tony Romo calls it before it happens
Never seen JJ get heated, and awesome to see that he can also stay articulate at the same time. Appreciated him as a player but appreciate him even more now as a former great player turned great analyst.
He was never a great player. He was a good in college and as a professional
@Ty Did say, I've never seen, not that he has never been. Just saw the uploaded clip 10 hours ago with Maddog. 😂 Looking forward to him getting baited more often.
He’s gotten way more heated than this, this is light wrk to him lol
@Ty trueeeeeee
You must not watch the show then cuz JJ's always heated
SAS telling JJ not to yell and then immediately yell is mind boggling 😂
Like a woman losing an argument
literally as soon as I heard him say "calm down" I rushed to the comments to look for this lmao
HAHAHAHA
I thought that then immediately read your comment. SAS is ridiculously hilarious. Lol😂
Lmao
It’s dope when JJ is on here 😂. He is ready to check Stephen A every time 😂
@James Ross you’re crazy Kareem was pro ready since his senior year
@jayiswaveynyc1 Max was beating Stephen A in debates, but didn’t hit the mark quit like JJ does.
He wanted max gone for the very same reason
Jj has no clue what he is talking about jabbar could not go 2 NBA after high school he's clueless
I love seeing JJ educate these guys everytime the bring him on the show...his knowledge is light-years ahead of theirs
@Curtis H. He played the game at the highest level...he knows far more than any analyst
Agreed with JJ on this, I have also noticed that during 90's, while it's a bit more physical, there are many times the players are just standing doing nothing. The sports today have evolved to continuous movement which is more physically demanding long term. JJ somebody with a different insight of the game. Nice.
@Ya Dig they will allow you to do it but not too much.. I have seen it. But anyway players have to adapt. Doesn't mean it's less excitement.. it's just like if people watch wrestling since rock left people don't watch no more. Ever since Jordan left its been nothing but hate on this new ers lol
@Duc i agree some people exaggerate it, but to say it wasn't super physical compared to the nba today is just a lie. the rules are literally different now to let offensive skill players work more. this is not a debate, its history
@younged 510 you literally can't. just because the officials allowed it somewhat in one series doesn't mean its against the rules entirely, and has been for like 20 years
@Tommy Dashed yes he does struggle shooting but sometimes he can shoot three's I seen him make 3-3 before he start bricking and air ballin' then he switches up his game and play 2-3 different positions that's what makes Giannis a different breed he will get a guy gaurding him for example Deandre Ayton, didn't know how to guard him. He ended up in foul trouble.. have you not been watching this guy he is exactly a somewhat mirror image of Lebron..
@younged 510 He can't shoot better than even most big men. He's one of the worst shooters in the league.
This is the difference between a writer and a player. JJ is a blessing to basketball discussions on this network
Absolutely
@musky Joe Nah he speaking straight facts idk what you listening to 🤷🏾♂️
@Our new French Adventure bro said Draymond and Gilly don't know ball lmao this clown knows even less😂
Actually most players are absolutely horrible at analyzing talent
Big facts
Best take of JJ’s career. I wish I could describe what I’ve been saying for years, but I’ve never played basketball at that level before. I appreciate JJ articulating this reality. I dare those guys from the 90s to play at this pace. Guys like Hakeem and MJ could have did it with others. Those guys and others took care of their bodies, which I don’t think the majority of the league did so like this before Kobe/Bron/Steph era. Evolution should mathematically tell us how much harder it is to do it now. The amount of endurance required these days is insane
You guys forget that MJ would look much different ( more athletic) in today’s game. He would adapt and take lebron as is personal lapdog….
Rubbish, today's players don't a prayer against the 80's /90's teams.
@Zack I agree but also believe it is easier to score today.
@i am a win he says “mathematically tell us how much harder it is to do it now”
@Montage HQ JJ is completely right. The players are better these days with more skill. Players might have been tougher back in the day but the skill wasn’t there. And the amount of endurance required isn’t conducive with their cigarette and alcohol usage of back in the day. It’s a different beast now and people need to get over it. My favorite all time player in Ben Wallace would have to be a combo of Draymond and Ibaka to be effective in this new league.
JJ is refreshing to have. Someone how actually has played against LeBron and knows today’s game.
no no no, he just intentionally sounds smart, but most of his arguments only account for partial facts
Yea he just knows the game now. Anybody who knows history know Jordan, Wilt are top 2 greatest scorers. He only uses stats he likes but they dont tell whole story. Wilt avg 50pts for entire season! Mike was way more clutch than lebron & played when teams played defense
JJ brought up a very valid point about the pace of possessions. As a exercise science/kinesiology major, we learn that the leading cause of injury across the board is “wear and tear” and stress on the tendons/ ligaments (micro tears) without proper and lengthy recover. You’re body needs proper and quality time to recover especially in joints with the ball and socket mechanism due to them having great mobility, but less stability. Exercise at a high intensity/pace day in and day out is incredibly taxing on the body even with proper strength and mobility exercises. You’ve also got to think about the degeneration of cartilage with repeated action over time. Staying healthy and on top of you’re game for as long as Lebron has is mind boggling and many suspect him of taking spending millions on researched steroids without major adverse effects to enhance his recovery to an unprecedented degree.
I love JJ's knowledge and Professionalism, it comes with true facts & common sense. Stephen A & Mad Dog are old school & don't wanna give LeBron his credit & respect. Numbers don't lie he played 20 seasons & is #1 you can't deny his achievement 🐐🐐👑👑!!!
@jagged2tiger i never said the contrary lmao, i said the same as you lol
@eze legui what about the statistic points per game. Shouldn’t that be the most important stat? Not cumulative? Obviously if you play longer you score more. Jordan averaged most ever. Obvious argument
that’s the Problem of this era, people Always talks about stadistics and number, Jordan was better
Of course number lie whoever said they don’t, have a hard time understanding logic! Clearly Jordan achieved more in a shorter period with way more accolades Play for 20 years with multiple all stars and you’re bound to score more
Mad Dog is literally if someone had to draw/reimagine Skip Bayless of like 10 years ago from memory…or like if you ordered him from Wish.
JJ is easily my favorite ESPN analyst he actually makes SENSE when he gives opinions.
@obies12000 Do that to Jordans avg then, they shoot wayyy more shots and 3's in todays game, MJ would be even further ahead if you really took that into account you biased LeCap fan😂😂there is always hypocrisy w lbj fans lol
Just say you're a LeDrider bro😭
@cookie monster he'll be on all season homie haha. Jay Will is the one who won't be on the show for a while after him and SaS's recent spat
KOBE KNOWS BASKETBALL MORE THAN JJ REDDICK HE SAID : '' REPEAT WITH ME GOAT LIST : 1. WILT, 2, ME , 3 MIKE
@leon the 70s, 80s, 90s didn't even have a global game yet. We've got 3 of the best players in the league as foreign players. League talent is deeper than ever
Lebron also has 10354 assist X2 = 20,708 points. on top of the 38390 points, that's 59,098 total points . And Lebron is still going
@Montage HQ best and greatest are 2 different things the best scorers ever are either MJ or Wilt the greatest is Bron
@GodKage I know but accounting for 59k points is not nearly as valuable as scoring 59k points
@TCG the probability of something does not necessarily make it more valuable, also be more specific. 1 assist is 1.5 valuable as one point? Is that what u mean
@Jordan C this is true he is great at getting his teammates involved, but he is not the best scorer of all time
This back and forth discussion about the scoring goat is very interesting and entertaining. Props to Steven A and non-toxic MJ fans and JJ and non toxic Bron fans! 🙏🏾🐐
For once a decent debate! No screaming. There was active listening, acknowledgement and good points made by both dudes. They need more of this.
I like JJ. He speaks what’s on his mind and the truth. We need more broadcasters like him
JJ destroyed him in the most epic rant of all time hahah
Molly: Can you get in on this JJ:Sure !
JJ is next level and doesn’t do it solely for entertainment, like most. A representation of Coach K’s excellence; JJ is a master at his craft.
@LeAndre LeeThen I definitely can't trust his opinion, because Giannis is definitely a top 4 player in the league.
@Sammy run and dunk man is top 20 all time
@koleon06 😂I will I will 🤙🏾
Be quiet bruh😂
JJ is a good NBA analyst. Stephen A. Smith is stellar.
Love JJ standing up to SA and his comparison of physicality.
JJ's face whenever Madd Dogg talks 😂
“Did we forget about Wilt Chamberlain?” Yes. Stephen A no mercy
LMFAO
JJ makes a good point about wear and tear. That's why superstars get hurt a lot now. Lots of running, stepbacks, crossovers, dunks, etc. Faster pace for sure.
No lots guys came out early back in the day guys stayed 3 to 4 years in college their bodies were mature . We never saw rookies and second year guys missing time like we do today early entry guys get hurt more
They get hurt because they are weak every little thing hurts them you can't touch them no defense w.n.b.a lot tougher
JJ: spits pure facts SAS: talks to talk
Stephen A telling JJ not to be dismissive while he’s being dismissive is crazy
@Callum Engel bro ofcourse jordan fans will see videos related to Lebron, what I am saying is jordan fans tend to feel the need to hate on Lebron, even when they are watching jordan videos. Ofcourse Lebron fans do it too, but jordan fans do it significantly more.
@Callum Engel you must didn't read the factual information I provided in those paragraphs I kinda figured you will do that and only read the little statement at the end LMFAO 😂
@it only can be 1 The problem with that is, that Jordan didn't need to pass, it wasn't his job. So why would he ever have an achievement like that. Using achievements is the dumbest argument you can make for goat debates.
@Callum Engel that's just little bit of factual information for why bron the goat also lebron and Westbrook are the only players to lead the NBA in ast in a season and in points in a season which is a crazy accomplishment
Molly scared of a Stephen A and JJ blowout like the one that happened the other day. Also, it's funny to hear STEPHEN A trying to tell someone one to calm down, when he is the exact opposite of calmed down all the time.
JJ really broke it down to a close minded Stephen A
JJ really 4-0 sweeped em
thank you JJ finally a good take man
They say the game was different and it was, but they didn't have to worry about the 3 point shot to nearly the degree they do know, that completely changes how defense is played.
@Callum Engel I think he is referring to what one would refer as a great defender in both eras. In the past, since the 3 point was a prevalent shot a defender could sit on the drive and mid range. In today's era, the 3 pointer is the thing you don't want to concede alongside the open layup so a great defender needs to be worry about the 3, midrange and rim finishes. So I do believe in this era it's tougher to call someone a great defender like a Drew Holliday or Giannis since it's harder. But you are right in the sense that not a lot of players play actual defense, they try to do the bare minimum to not get subbed out.
@pj wrightThey do that today too. Have you watched a basketball game?
So true! It’s hard to call defenders the greatest like those in the nineties when they didn’t even have to think about guys pulling from deep. The amount of times MJ just watched guys shoot threees with hands in his pockets
JJ is literally the best at talking about basketball. He states facts and doesn’t just yell to get his point across like these other morons.
JJ and Gilbert Arenas need to start a podcast together, top 2 when breaking down basketball
@John Pu I’ve watched full games start to finish from the 80s and 90s and I promise you it was nowhere near as physical as you’re making it out to be
@John Pu it wasn’t that physical bro y’all act like they were throwing punching every possession, like jj said go watch that finals vs the suns. The game today not only has way more talented & athletic players but includes defense that is harder to play against cause zone was literally illegal to play in MJs era you couldn’t leave your guy to give help so MJ wasn’t dealing with help defenders. Lebron would’ve broke the record years ago if he only ever had to face man defense.
how come? he completely ignores the softness of today's game. Physicality has impact on your career length too, you know.
@freemoney I think he was being sarcastic. I hate how American commentators yell so much, JJ is a refreshing change and clearly knows his stuff
JJ sticks with the script 😅
I get what jj is saying about the stagnant nature of 90s hoops. But there is a difference between having to fight for position every posession and free running to cover more territory of today's game.
Two Duke players come on here and put Stephen A in check every time. I love it.
We need more JJ.
Mad dog said babe Ruth was the best home run hitter lol he must be stopped 😂
I still don’t see why JJ isn’t on First Take during the basketball season.. This dude is incredible
Cause he kills their front man .. STEPHEN
N u choose jj a guy say mj jerry was plumber by the he was averaged 2.2 ppg that guy
bruh seriously??? JJ is about square bigness, not the shock jock Stephen A bs, he can only deal with him so much lol
It's Because he has played with his ability not his mouth ,SAS and many other has not put that kind of physical work into this ,JJ did from AAU to NBA
Because they can't handle the truth!!!
I feel like ever since espn been hiring more actual NBA players Stephen As ego been getting hurt. Really tryna argue with someone who actually played the game at the highest level against some of the best is kind of disrespectful. But JJ kept his composure like a G and gave em straight facts that he didn’t and probably couldn’t consider.
Of course Stephen A’s ego is constantly hurt. Telling JJ to relax when he is going crazy defending Michael Jordan
How is ego hurt jj was the one getting hype 😂 & every nba player opinions not gold just bc they played the game
JJ is here to make todays players get more respect. But it’s just known that todays basketball is not as respectable as the older generations
I love how Stephen A thinks he can argue and know more than guys who actually play or played the game. He does this regardless of the sport.
JJ be unraveling 😂😂😂
“Did we forget about Wilt Chamberlain” Stephen A - “YES” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
JJ and Tim Legler are the best thing to happen to NBA talk on ESPN. Whether you agree or disagree, they bring experience as NBA players and facts, not fluff, to their arguments.
KOBE KNOWS BASKETBALL MORE THAN JJ REDDICK HE SAID : '' REPEAT WITH ME GOAT LIST : 1. WILT, 2, ME , 3 MIKE
Truth!
@Michael Christipher no what does ghetto mean ?
JJ is really underselling Kareem's skills.
I think it's funny that people think a more physical league wouldn't be to lebron's advantage
@Rover Johnson too bad he wasn't and can't even match titles in a cupcake soft league now😂😂
A more physical league, LeBron would Literally be Karl Malone with a jumpshot, handles, and playmaking. He would be faster and more agile too. A literal nightmare back in the 90’s. LeBron would be the greatest defender of all time, with the pace slowed down and he can handcheck and foul more. They would just stick LeBron on the opposing teams best scorer. LeBron on offense would be unguardable, he would be throwing his weight around and you can’t double team him. We would laugh at the mere thought of Michael Jordan. It woukd be LeBron’s league.
It wouldn't lol bc he would be going against actual HoF big men Hakeem, Mutumbo, Shaq, Robinson, Malone, etc. He'd even struggle w Rodman lol the sticks today can't compare, Rudy Gobert? pleaseeee gtfo lmfao
Quote of 2023 by Dr. Stephen A.Smith “I am brilliant because I know I’m not” 😂
They say that Kareem went to college to discredit Bron's accomplishments. They don't say that Kareem took more shots than Bron, so there.
Save JJ at all costs.
JJ is the best ever. He should get more airtime, more shows. He's so smart and a true NBA analyst
Best ever is where you lost me. He’s ok sheesh guy lmao
Lol they are facts. Rules were different than they are now. Defenses weren’t as strong. They were just more physical because it was legal. They barely had to stretch the floor because players barely shot 3’s so with a shortened floor to defend. No zone defense period till 96 hand checking. Double team in most cases were illegal in that era
yeah cuz atleast he played in the nba
@Luka cope harder little man
Jj just be schooling the old school thoughts
Gotta love JJ!!
Did we forget about wilt chamberlain? “Yes”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
JJ sitting there like.... "remember the Bag, remember the Bag"
Great last point about Wilt if we are talking scoring. How many points will wilt average in today's game? Something to think about.
Why is Mad Dog even allowed to talk about basketball on television? We need more people like JJ who understand the greatness of all eras not just the 90's and earlier.
@Scott P Yeah his baseball take was sus in this video 😂Saying babe ruth was the best homerun hitter of all time.... when he never even saw him play. All I needed to tell this dudes a comeplete poser.
Dude sounds like an old man. Why tf did he bring up Babe Ruth?
@AfroEmoKidhold on can’t you say jj holds a bias to his era?? Makes no sense I’m 25 and I strongly lean closer to SAS and mad dogs opinion on this matter. The difference of being a 30 pt scorer back then and now is a completely different level.
Agreed. Mad Dog has downs.
Difinitely Jordan, his scoring stood out in his era, everybody scores nowadays. Don't forget George Gervin and Bernard King
Wow, no one can give that man respect except for J.J.
Thanks for the logic and rational thinking J.J we appreciate you.
Stephen A reminds me of the scene in the movie Equilibrium, when Christian Bale's partner screams "It's HIM that's feeling, not me!!! He's the feeler!!!!" Stephen telling JJ to calm down while yelling so loud my speakers were crying for mercy
I love when a former player puts a "analyst" in his place
i swear JJ Redick is one of the smartest NBA analysts i've seen in my life. he's very well educated on the game through playing and watching and he is so well spoken that his points MAKE SENSE!!! love watching his podcast the old man and the three. keep killin it JJ
@Im here for it all name me an NBA analyst that is smarter than him. k thx
I can tell you have not lived much life then if he’s the smartest.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ uh amen I guess
@maj the mayor bro call him what you want but he’s not lying
@Truth is Harsh imagine being tht passionate on hating a man that doesnt know you exist
J J is in another level he knows basketball 🏀 he cooked mad dog and screaming Stephen a Smith
JJ is awesome!!🤣
Stephen A hates it when he's getting embarassed.
Thank you JJ Steven Smith doesn't know basketball like you...please keep him straight about LBJ and his phenomenal basketball career!
Glad JJ was on the show to bring them back to reality. Give Lebron the rules MJ had he would have been broken the record a few years back.
They kill me how they say "not taking anything from Lebron" when they spent the whole segment taking anything from Lebron. It's really sad.
@SuperSaiyan SerendipitousSeer Bron is the goat. But you can have your opinion. Wild to say Wilt is above all those dudes. But do you man. Enjoy your “NBA management” career man. Good luck.
@Linda Young that can only be an argument for jordan...
8:12
ADMIT IT: WE ALL ARE ACCUSED OF TAKING AWAY FROM OUR LESS FAVORITE FOR OUR FAVORITE. Same argument goes for everyone, including fans of any player in any sport EVER. You’ll be accused of taking away from another guy.
Lol mad dog adding Wilt is so hilarious 🤣
For me the difference is that all the other guys were just playing ball on the other hand LeBron spent every moment on the court chasing those guys to beat their records to be a part of the group to be in the conversation and he was the only good player on the Cleveland team where he picked up a lot of those points even though they were losing the games Lebron still got his points in but a score is a score.. '
Are seriously blaming lebron for having a badly managed team?
Two Shouting Guys, A Lady and Calm, Analytical and Logical guy
You guys just did. After breaking the record, the doubting still continues. The complexity of human beings and how they will even call the mud dusty!
I love JJ 😂😂😂 my guy was getting 😡
JJ had a straight-up glare when the camera went to him for the first time after the intro. Had me rolling. Could see the rage building. 😂
@Kenneth Lebron was literally the entire topic of discussion in the video. Lebron as compared to Kareem and Jordan. Not sure how you missed it, when that’s who JJ is vouching for endlessly.
@Y.S weird y’all bring that man up for no reason
That's what that LeKlutch Sports payroll 💰 does to a person...
Fr 😂
i feel for jj, constantly having to reason & argue with clowns. you can see how close he is to just blurting out “are yall dumb???”
Do you think they were "rougher" back in the 80s and 90s because they weren't as athletic as today's players and made up for not being able to go as hard for as long by just being more physical?
Still funny that he calls himself “JJ” and that he isn’t there with them 🤣
The fact that there were less possessions per game in the 90s and less 3s taken makes Jordan and Kareems scoring so much more impressive not even mentioning the physicality or the amount of money trainers and doctors these guys got today lebron is a fraction of Jordan
@Pradeep Verghese lebron isn't good at 3s free throws or mid range what's your point
Jordan could have taken more three's if he wanted. He just wasn't good at it. They even moved the line closer for him and he stilll wasn't good at it
I may be trippin but if we’re talking best pure scorers, I thought KD would run away in every conversation with that. A 7 foot Forward that moves like a guard & can get any spot he wants on the floor, & is elite at all 3 levels of scoring. He’s the perfect example of when you go on 2k a try to create a unstoppable player.
The face that JJ made when he appeared, he was ready to bring the smoke on these boomers 🤣🤣
@Username I’m a boomer and I feel boomers are dumb.
@Username sureeeeee bro 🤣🫡
Do you know what years comprises boomers 🤔i think not
@Samier King 6 finals losses
Alot of the analyst give Lebron just enough credit while still putting him down to prop Jordan up 😅
This segment highlights the importance of player analysts. 👏 JJ
How do we not mention Kobe Bryant in these conversations 🤔 I'm a die hard sixers fan and Kobe needs to be included when talking about scoring!
we need a 5hrs podcast for this topic. lets go JJ!!!!
It's going to be that way and it's gonna stay that way....AND DON'T YOU EVER FORGET IT
Wow. JJ was very articulate. Thank you for providing this perspective of Lebron's journey.
@Wyly37 lol
Lebron fans are all over
@Micah Kibe I must say that Jordan wasn't a better 3 pointer shooter than LeBron,MJ were a terrible 3 pointer shooter,that why he didn't shoot that many.
@skilled How is Jordan not considered at the very least, a "top 5" scorer? I didn't know a 49.7% FG shooting percentage (which includes his wizards) is considered inefficient. Especially if you take into account that a majority of his shots were farther out than being close to the rim. Jordan over the period of time while wearing a Bulls jersey was probably around mid 40s to sub 50% while shooting from 4ft to 3pt range. He did this with a tenacious attitude while attacking and attacking the basket over and over again. How can you say he doesn't deserve it? Clearly you've never watched Jordan but c'mon man. Take it slow.
at this point, I’m convinced they keep mad dog around just for the meme value
Don't matter what day it is, sas is spiting facts
Jj made Stephen A concede lol that’s crazy
Stephen will fall as hard as he grew. Stay humble homie
Kareem hit 1800 more FGs in his career, just sayin. So when JJ breaks down how a ball is scored in bball it's an endorsement of Kareem
The entire time, all Stephen A does here is give LeBron backhanded compliments. Stephen A and Skip have done more bad for the game of basketball then good, dividing the fanbase with “who’s better” and never allowing fans to enjoy players’ greatness. On the night LeBron surpasses Kareem, it’s crazy that MJ is still being mentioned here, just give the man his flowers bro ffs 🤦🏻♂️
@Ken Len 😭😭😭🤡🤡🤡🤡🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵
@Carlos Abreu It's still blasphemy.
@Carlos Abreu The only people calling him the goat are media heads who have made their career ono controversial takes.
This is the most give and take I’ve seen on this show
JJ is the smartest man in sports commentary
Stephen A. Smith should release another boxing tape! Lol. 🤣🤣🤣
JJ Reddick is hitting them with some knowledge.
So the guy was 6’6 210 pounds soaking wet handled the physicality but 6’9 270 pound wouldn’t.🤣🤣🤣
JJ is a gift to this sports broadcasting world!! Love his takes!!
@Hristijan Dimitrovski I agree with you👍
But he is wrong. Lebron is at best 3rd greatest scorer of all time, at best 3rd best scorer. He has most points than everyone else, but that's the record for longevity, congratulation to Lebron because he jas the most consistent scorer in the history of this game and that's why he has the most points ever, but we also have to talk about their peak. I'm sorry, but Jordan won 10 SCORING TITLES IN HIS 13 SEASONS WITH CHICAGO, 10 SCORING TITLES. He has highest points per game average in NBA history in both regular season and play offs. Lebron won only 1 scoring in his career and some people can argue that Lebron wasn't even the best scorer in his era because 2010s was clearly Lebron's era, he was the best in that time, you can argue that Kevin Durant was better scorer than Lebron. More points eopr game in his best season, 4 scoring titles, much more efficient player than Lebron and simply when ypu watch jow he plays, he is probably the most versatile scorers of all time. Jordan was light years better scorer than everybody else when he played, miles ahead of the rest of the competition and to say that Lebron with 1 scoring title and with his scoring recordis the greatest scorer in the history of this game is to me ultimately too much. 1. Jordan 2. Kobe 3. Lebron /KD/Kareem
@Revitalize He went into hiding after Bob Cousy destroyed him lol
@Chae Lee No, that he has some awful AWFUL takes, he had a take so bad that he had to go incognito for months to hide from it.
I think the big question here is how do you measure or define the greatest scorer of all time? Inlnow ine thing for sure, It’s not about being the leading scorer of all time coz players had different longevity of playing in NBA.
Thanks 👍 for educating Stephen A JJ
At least stephen is humble enough to listen to jj
