With how high scoring the game has gotten, I would say Wilt's record is more likely to be broken than 40k points. For 40k points you have to have an incredible and healthy 20 plus year career. It will probably happen at some point but I could see Wilt's record falling before then.

I agree that Wilt's record will probably get broken before LeBron's. The likes of Luka might get a shot at LeBron's record if he stays healthy and have a long career in the NBA; started at 19 years old and lots of high scoring games. Although I don't know if Luka can stay fit and play at such a high level at an older age.

Agree, Luka is on pace if he plays until he is 40 (big if) and stays healthy and as productive (big if) as he gets older.
Lebron is still playing though so every year Lebron plays, even if Luka is scoring a few more points than him per game, he isn't making up much ground.
