LeBron James is marching towards breaking NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record of NBA’s all-time regular season points made. On this prestigious journey, earlier in the week, James went past the Los Angeles Lakers legend on another list. With the regular season and playoff points put together, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has a total of 44,149 points and was leading this list. However, now, he has taken the back seat since King James currently has a total of 44,152 points.
This stat and moment called for celebration but the lack of media buzz around this news left fans startled. They jumped online to vent while bringing Stephen Curry into the narrative.
In December 2021, Stephen Curry overtook Ray Allen to become the player with the most three-pointers in the regular season. His triumph was celebrated like a festival while the media’s focus was all over him and his family. Several tribute articles were written and videos of his achievement were released. With this in mind, fans were upset that LeBron James hasn’t received any attention for his feat. They took to Twitter to express their displeasure.
Fans were quick to state that since the 18-time All-Star is hated by many, he is being given zero attention. They were upset with the standards and guts of media organizations across the sports industry. In general, fans believed that LeBron is not given the respect he deserves.

However, some fans tried to find a middle ground and stated that with the regular season and playoff three-pointers put together when Curry went past Allen, no one celebrated it. They claimed that this combination cannot be considered because the rules of the game at the playoffs level have changed.
