LeBron James broke the NBA’s all-time record for scoring on Tuesday night. With the record coming down, it will surely fuel a circular debate that rolls around anytime LeBron hits another milestone or tacks on another title onto his résumé: Is he the greatest of all time?
Here’s the thing, though: Most people seemingly decided where they stood on that question some time ago, meaning the all-time scoring crown itself may not have changed much for those who find themselves entrenched in thinking LeBron, Jordan or Kareem is the best to ever lace them up.
