He played 3 seasons with the Giessen Pointers (Germany-RegionalligaThis season for Bensheim he averaged 19,5ppg, 3,8rpg, 2,0apg and 1,5spg. He has had experience in countries like El Salvador and Bosnia. He recently played for the South Shore Monarchs (TBL) playing 8 games averaging 22.4ppg, 5.6rpg, 4.3apg, 1.6spg, FGP: 50.8%, 3PT: 35.0%, FT: 83.3%. He began his basketball career at Clinton Community College and also played two years at Salem University (NCAA2). He spoke to germanhoops.com about Lebron James becoming the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.

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

I did not get to but I am happy to have been alive to see such an accomplishment.

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

This record was looked at to be unbeatable. So for me to see all the greats fall short for 40 years and them to see one man not only beat it but set the bar higher just wow. This is a testament to Lebron’s true greatness.

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

This season he is averaging around that much so I would say just another day in the office for sure.

How much is that ball going to be worth?

If anyone gets their hands on that ball it would maybe be worth Billions but I’m sure it will be in his trophy case.

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

I don’t think so because it wasn’t an assist but I feel bad for the guy who he scored on because this clip will be played over and over again.

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 feel bad for Williams. Honestly as I said before this will be attached to his name forever. I wanted to see him attempt a sky hook . I thought that would be funny but however delivered it was stamped .

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 world would of went crazy this is something I wanted to see for sure.

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?

Looking back he was a great man activist and athlete and he is from NYC . His legacy lives on and we appreciate his greatness.

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?

With the way scoring is amplified and the 3 ball is used, it’s not impossible but it will be a very tough task!!!

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

I think Luka is the only one who can catch this record but he has to do this for 20 years straight. Lets see what happens.

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

Stats wise Yes I believe it’s hard to argue with a guy who has been great for 20 years with no sign of slowing down.

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

When he destroyed the Pistons in the playoffs I think he scored 30 straight and couldn’t be stopped.

Thanks Chris for the chat.
