Will anyone else EVER become the All Time scoring leader?

Now that Lebron sits atop the scoring Mount Rushmore after breaking Kareem's unseemingly reachable total, will anyone ever top him?

One problem - we only know a handful of players in the future; current players and those on the near horizon. You never know who's round the corner so we'lol look at what we've got.

Aaaand mines a pretty damn short list. There's only one person on there. The only person who has ANY (and it's minuscule) chance of ever scoring more regular season points than Lebron. You guessed it, Luka.

Providing there's no serious injury to Lebron over the next few years we can imagine him taking his points total up near the 45,000 mark. Maybe not reach it, but close to.

Now for Luka to get anywhere close to this, he has to play at least 70 games a season till he's 40 averaging over 30 points per game from now onwards. I told you it was a minuscule chance.

But Luka's game oozes longevity and scoring power. His IQ on the court will make him the primary ball handler for his whole career, no doubt about it. He's not super athletic, he doesn't land awkwardly, back pains here and there so far in his young career for the Mavs but nothing jumps out as scary.

With the way the NBA is going at this moment in time, I can see Luka comfortably scoring 30 points a game into his late 30s. Elite midrange game; streaky 3s but he still has the green light to shoot even on an off night, and foul drawing magician.

I still feel like I'm clutching at straws here, which I am. Luka is literally the only person who could come close to Bron's tally when all is said and done. I don't think KD's legs will allow him to play into his 40s, same with any player 7ft or over in years to come. I might be proven wrong.

Watch this space.
