Kobe Durant can t beat it! From 1,000 points to 42,000 points, James is the youngest in history

As of last season, James' total career scores have exceeded 42,000 points, continuing to set a new record. Since no other player except James has scored more than 40,000 points in his career, although James is 40 years old and is the oldest player in active service, he is still the youngest 40,000 points in history.

Not only that, it is hard to say whether there will be a 40,000-point gentleman in the future after James. So James is not only the youngest Mr. Forty Thousand points in history, but also likely has always been the only Mr. Forty Thousand points.

It is also worth mentioning that from 1,000 points to 42,000 points, every 1,000 points is a milestone, and James is also the youngest in history. That is to say, compared with other players, James is the youngest when he gets the same career total score.

James can do this mainly because of two reasons. First, of course, it is because his scoring ability is very strong, but this is not the most critical, because there are other players who are not inferior to James' scoring ability. The second and most critical is because James directly entered the NBA as a high school student, so he has an advantage in the youngest historical record.

In addition to James, the second youngest scoring record in history is mainly monopolized by Kobe and Durant. Like James, Kobe participated in the draft as soon as he graduated from high school, so he has an advantage in age. However, Kobe's career starting point is not as good as James. He started from a substitute in the past few seasons, so his milestones within 20,000 points are not as good as Durant. However, Kobe is second only to James, the second youngest Mr. 1,000 points.

Although Durant had been in college for one year before entering the NBA, he was less than 19 years old in the draft, not much older than James and Kobe who participated in the draft. In addition, Durant is also averaging scorer and is the youngest scoring leader in history, so he is also very competitive in terms of the youngest historical scoring record. Although he still can't compare to James, Durant is the second youngest in history from 2000 to 20,000 points. However, Durant suffered a serious injury to the Achilles tendon and was also reimbursed for the season, so the youngest scoring record was also interrupted. From the milestone of 23,000 points to 33,000 points, Kobe is the second youngest in history, while Chamberlain is the third youngest.
