Andrew Jones (191-SG-1983, college: Miles) is a 40 year old 191cm guard from Georgia that recently completed his second season with WSG Koenigs Wusterhausen (Germany-Regionalliga) averaging 18,8ppg, 6,8rpg, 4,0apg and 2,8spg. He began his basketball career at East Paulding high school and then played at Miles College (NCAA2). He began his professional career in 2006 and came overseas in 2008 and with the exception of playing one season in Spain, he played most of his career in Germany for teams Dresden, Aschersleben and Chemnitz. He gave his thoughts about Lebron James breaking the NBA all-time scoring record from Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

Lebron James has beaten Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s NBA all-time scoring record. Did you stay up to watch history?

I stop staying up for sports in the states after watching Atlanta Falcons vs Patriots in the Superbowl lol. So I wait to see everything once I get up in the morning.

How does one put this record into perspective best? It stood almost 40 years?

For this record to be broken, you must have health and longevity. Lebron has been looking the same since day one. The average NBA career is around 4.5 to 6 years. Lebron has given us 20 years thus far.

He scored 38 points in 26 minutes. Was it another normal day at the office?

Definitely! Lebron James looks like he can do this for another 5 years. I think it adds extra motivation when you know your close to breaking all time scoring record

How much is that ball going to be worth?

Priceless! Lebron is already a Billionaire. That ball will be somewhere next to all of his trophies.

Russell Westbrook made the pass. Do you think that in 20 years the pass could be remembered more than his triple doubles?

Not at all. Russell Westbrook has the most seasons with triple doubles. Thats a record that will be hard to break. So a pass for that scoring title won’t overshadow that.

His record breaking basket was a step back over Kenrich Williams. Is that the kind of shot you expected knowing the kind of player he is? Or would you have expected a dunk for the spectacular finish?

I think at the moment you take what the defense gives you. No matter how the ball went into the basket, the goal was achieved. Also, Lebron’s game has evolved as he ages. So I wasn’t surprised to see him score in that fashion.

There obviously is a lot of respect for Kareem, by the basketball world, but what would have happened on social media if Lebron had gotten the record with a sky hook shot?

The internet trolls would have a field day on the internet lol. Would definitely look like Lebron was taking a shot at Kareem Abdul Jabbar. But I am glad he finished the way he did.

Kareem is such a gentleman. You didn’t grow up with him, but what does his legacy mean to younger guys? Can they even understand what that guy did?

You know, I tried to throw the over the head hook shot like Kareem did. I could never understand how he was so accurate with it. I guess his height had something to do with it. He is one of the greatest players to ever played the game. I think he doesn’t get the full respect he deserves.

Lebron will have more than 40,000 points when it’s all over. Back in 1984 people said it would never be broken? Will this record be broken?

For it to be broken: 1).Play 20 years 2).Play at a high level for 20 years 3).No major injuries in 20 years

If Luka Doncic continues to play to 40 stays fit and becomes a physical specimen like Lebron, could he dethrone him?


If he follows all mentioned above, he is definitely a guy who can do it. Lebron already made the comparison between the two. He believes Luka and him share many similarities on the court.

Does this record finally give Lebron the GOAT status over Michael Jordan?

I don’t have those debates because I believe both players are great. But I will say Lebron has been statistically magnificent throughout his career. To be on track to score 40,000 points and have 10,000 in rebounds and assists show how complete Lebron is as a player. A do it all player is always great to have on any team.

What is your favorite Lebron moment that you witnessed live or on TV?


It’s been so many. But when Lebron dunked on KG when he was with the Cavs, I jumped out my seat lol.

Thanks Andrew for the chat
