LeBron James<\/a> is 40 years old now, and many people think he\u2019s one of the best basketball players in history, possibly even the greatest ever. Still, some people on social media say he \u201chas no bag.\u201d In basketball, that means they think he doesn\u2019t have fancy skills like tricky dribbles or stylish moves.<\/p>\n

LeBron recently talked about this on the Mind the Game<\/em> podcast. He said:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI see people on social media all the time saying, \u2018LeBron has no bag.\u2019 And I\u2019m just sitting here like \u2013 I have 50 billion points!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Of course, LeBron doesn\u2019t have 50 billion points. But he\u2019s making a strong point: he\u2019s scored more points than any other NBA player ever. That\u2019s a huge achievement.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the real number: LeBron has scored 42,184 points in regular NBA season games, which makes him the all-time leading scorer in NBA history.<\/p>\n

These are the next top players behind him:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Kareem Abdul-Jabbar \u2013 38,387 points<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Karl Malone \u2013 36,928 points<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Kobe Bryant \u2013 33,643 points<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Michael Jordan \u2013 32,292 points<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    All of those legends were known for having great basketball skills or a \u201cdeep bag.\u201d So people are wondering: how can LeBron, who has scored even more than all of them, not have a bag?<\/p>\n

    This argument has caused a lot of buzz online. Many fans and even players have started sharing their thoughts.<\/p>\n

    \n

    What did Giannis Antetokounmpo say about the LeBron James controversy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Giannis Antetokounmpo, a superstar from the Milwaukee Bucks, also spoke up. He posted on X (formerly Twitter):<\/p>\n

    \n

    \u201cIf there are people out there who believe that one of the greatest players ever has no bag\u2026 man, I\u2019ve seen it all.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Giannis also gets similar criticism sometimes, even though he\u2019s an incredible player too. So he understands what LeBron is going through.<\/p>\n

    Both Giannis and LeBron are renowned for their exceptional strength, speed, and athleticism. Some people believe their success is largely due to their physical prowess, rather than their skill. But many others believe their basketball abilities are underrated and deserve more respect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
