LeBron James Jokes Giannis Could Drop 250 Points in the 70s
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James recently stirred up NBA fans with a bold—and likely tongue-in-cheek—statement about Milwaukee Bucks’ superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. In a conversation about how today’s athletes would perform in past eras, LeBron quipped that Giannis could “easily drop 250 points in the 70s.”
The remark comes amid ongoing debates about the evolution of basketball, with many arguing that modern training, athleticism, and skill levels have far surpassed those of past generations. While LeBron’s statement was likely hyperbolic, it highlights just how dominant Giannis is in today’s game.
Antetokounmpo, a two-time MVP, is known for his unmatched combination of size, speed, and skill. With his ability to dominate both ends of the floor, some fans believe he could have shattered records in earlier decades when defensive strategies were less advanced.
Whether Giannis could truly score 250 points in a single game in the 70s remains pure speculation, but LeBron’s comment has certainly fueled another round of heated basketball debates.
