LeBron James is widely considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time, with a long list of achievements throughout his career.

James recently surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time scoring record, cementing his place as one of the most prolific scorers in NBA history.

Some fans believe that James is the GOAT (greatest of all time) due to his impressive achievements and abilities on the court.

[{"selector":"#anim-3af4acf7-c6d1-4694-aa98-7380c789e923 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9d9aca1a-1caa-4078-9866-6ea5ca7edd61","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-56c96c36-262e-4ef3-9c19-c44426db5ecd","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 172.32084%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, Los Angeles Clippers player Paul George believes that Dallas Mavericks player Luka Doncic has the potential to break James' scoring record.

[{"selector":"#anim-4931b692-161a-4d6f-81a9-82b8e66f0995 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-db041070-b532-4e60-a4ee-877f08256e06","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-656259d2-401c-4cd6-88a9-1b60167963a5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 162.86848%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

George cites Doncic's impressive stats and skills as evidence that he could surpass James' record.

[{"selector":"#anim-9e1f81ee-cdb8-4008-8a32-73e6936e1c79 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-957b3ba3-bcae-41c6-9e12-cb9e707c9f71","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-834732cd-b186-4f98-937e-165fb03f225e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 189.76961%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, George also acknowledges that the biggest challenge for Doncic will be maintaining his fitness and longevity over the course of his career.

[{"selector":"#anim-c62151d4-0ca6-445c-b1c8-57d808009ad2 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e29f96fc-f956-41a2-8c37-6fc1d00c6a20","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-512ff639-4587-4e33-ad91-e62645e52ce6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 158.78684%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

James has been able to maintain his dominance over two decades by taking great care of his body and staying focused both on and off the court.

[{"selector":"#anim-3f1d02c4-b214-45d6-9a3f-6da89cf3ceb0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4b203aac-218e-45c7-b5a3-cc995a623f24","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bbb52d7a-6e18-492a-b50b-1081d69c1880","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 193.30572%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Doncic will need to follow a similar path if he hopes to achieve the same level of success as James and other great players in the NBA.

[{"selector":"#anim-303f98c0-c3b9-45ff-a50f-8d1bb8956e31 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7960a7d1-8884-40a3-9a48-e04b01cc578d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-12c108a5-66a3-4915-8c87-9b4c2aeea4ed","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 177.05458%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

As Doncic continues to develop and mature as a player, it will be interesting to see if he can reach the same heights as James and other all-time greats.
