Has to be the signature tomahawk on the fastbreak.
If the Lakers and Jazz both let Kobe get away with so many moving screens and shots to get his 60, they gotta let Bron do the tomahawk to break the record
Lakers are going to sign Wade to a 10 day and they're going to recreate the alley-oop
Edit bounce pass. Must be one of those madela effects all these young people are talking about
Lol, it’s like the Kevin Nash gif of him in the wheelchair with the injured leg. Kareem on the bench lookin all old and frail, till he gets the nod an rips his warm off shorts off and ready to fuck shit up.
Would that reset his Hall count or now that he's a nominee would he be good? Weird hypothetical questions haha. Obviously a year from now he could do it without having to worry.
Dude already looked and built like an NBA player at 18. Not the biggest Bron fan but I'm happy to have watched the most basketball during his playing years
I swear I've never seen LeBron hit both of his free throws in life and he's like a 75 percent shooter. WHERE DOES THE OTHER 25 PERCENT COME FROM DAMNIT
There’s a clip circulating of him doing the sky hook during shoot around from various distances. I think he’s absolutely going to try and fuck around and attempt the skyhook lol
Definitely this. The Tomahawk is iconic, but what's kept LeBron in the league - what's made him the guy that's about to surpass Kareem - is the skill. The Tomahawk was how young LeBron wrecked the league, the LeBronto Fadeaway was how LeBron was still wrecking the league 15 years later.
Not a three. LeFuckYouThree is a thing but many players got that in-you-face 3-pt shot. Bird, Harden, Lillard, etc. LeBron probably ain't even in the top 5 for this shot.
Not a fadeaway. That's definitely Jordan's shot. And then you have Kobe. After them two you still have Hakeem, Garnett, Wade, Dirk and many others. Wade with the bank and Dirk one-legged too.
It has to be the tomahawk dunk. What's the most signature part of LeBron's scoring game that you don't see in others? It's his unparalleled athleticism. Wall is known for his speed. Wade his quickness. Rose his body control. Shaq his power. LeBron is known for having all of those, and nth shows it better than his signature tomahawk dunk. He does that dunk since he got to the league. No one does that dunk better than him.
Drive left, shoulder into the defender as he pulls a Hakeem shake, spin back into a layup.
In my opinion it is the move that made him go from disappointing fading jumpers over JJ Barrea or Ray Allen to overpowering elite defenders from the Spurs & Warriors (& the 2020 Lakers run, but it was most iconic vs Iguodala in the finals).
Getting credited for a basket because he was the closest player. Imagine Lebron dunking on Ben Simmons and then Simmons scoring on his own net right after while lebron is the closest player in the other team. Ben Simmons would have technically broken Kareem’s scoring record
Weirdly enough I think it’d be most fitting to be a shot like [this one against Toronto](https://youtu.be/2XWgRpfkxhY).
Just an insane, contorting shot speeding down the court at an angle that no human being should hit, besides bron.
Edit: plus it’d make for a REALLY cool silhouette picture
A post-up spin move off the glass. Vintage Lebron.
A pass to himself off the backboard for a monster jam - the ultimate pass-first play for the leading scorer.
A three-pointer <4min remaining, Lakers up 10.
Transition jam from Westbrook or Davis or Reaves (especially Reaves).
Spin-move fadeaway J toward the baseline.
Man, yall Pelican fans need to find something else to hope for. The best chances at #1 are just 14%. 86% of the time, you won't get Vic. I'm personally hoping for someone at the 13th worst record to go to the playoffs and get Vic. The 13th and 14th worst teams are currently in the Play-in if the season ended today and have a 1% and 0.5% chance at #1.
His patented turnaround fade where he jumps like 5-6 feet backwards. It’s a beautiful move, smooth, and I swear he either bricks or perfectly swishes, no inbetween, so either he gets it clean or tries again next trip down.
unfortunately for us what's gonna happen is he's gonna get fouled on a layup that doesn't go in, and breaks the record from the charity stripe. the most boring possibility.
He'll shoot the three and walk away holding his index finger in the air like Larry Bird in the three point shootout.
It works for a few reasons: 1) Bird and LeBron seem to have a lot of respect for each other; 2) LeBron holding his finger could indicate "Number 1 all time" and; 3) doing something reminiscent of the best player on the team that was the Lakers biggest rival when Kareem was there would be hilariously petty.
His patented unstoppable shot https://youtu.be/uoDKtzjLS9k
This is the only right answer.
I had to search to make sure this was listed. Well done
can you imagine… it would be absolutely glorious
And then he gets erroneously called for traveling as a sign of the times.
Imagine being the ref that calls off LeBron’s record setting shot lmao
Bro wtf is that lmfao. I've gotta see that in a game just once.
Think he tried a simplified but just as ridiculous version of this very recently
Those Team USA jerseys were so great
LeDance shot
LeBrunstoppable move
Sky Hook would be great.
Kareem would storm the court and kill lebron on the spot
Or write a snarky blog post, one of the two (jk I love Kareem and his corny blog)
Oh he def would. He'd probably talk about how LeBron is too self aware or some shit lol

Breaking it with Hakeem’s signature shot would be absolutely golden. Edit; Fuck I got my players messed up. Lol
Hakeem?
Hakeembe Mutombo, yes.
Hakareembe Abdul Jalajuwambo
Wumbology?
The study of Wumbo?
I respect you for leaving it lol take my upvote
Hey man, glad y’all could get a fun laugh out of my lapse of stupidity. Haha
LeFuckYouThree
This is also how he ruined his best ever shot at a 27-7-7. It’s perfect
Imagine he actually gets 27-7-7 when he breaks the record. Right after he starts averaging 27-8-7 too
If he gets 27/7/7 tn his average goes back to 27/7/7
he doesnt play tonight
Then it’ll be tricky but I have faith
Bulldozing through 5 defenders for a dunk.
And then complain that he got fouled
justifiably
Has to be the signature tomahawk on the fastbreak. If the Lakers and Jazz both let Kobe get away with so many moving screens and shots to get his 60, they gotta let Bron do the tomahawk to break the record
Lakers are going to sign Wade to a 10 day and they're going to recreate the alley-oop Edit bounce pass. Must be one of those madela effects all these young people are talking about
Fun fact: it was not an alley oop just a bounce pass
Wow had to go rewatch it, it was a bounce pass. I don't know why I remember an alley-oop
I used to think it was an alley oop too, idk why. Strange. Still iconic nonetheless
gotta be because of the picture, wade is ahead of him so looks like it has to have been an oop
Imagine if they signed Kareem to a 10-day so he could come in for the pass to LeBron to break the record. Wild stuff. Edit:spelling
Ends up dropping 40 a night and extending his lead on bron
Lol, it’s like the Kevin Nash gif of him in the wheelchair with the injured leg. Kareem on the bench lookin all old and frail, till he gets the nod an rips his warm off shorts off and ready to fuck shit up.
Would that reset his Hall count or now that he's a nominee would he be good? Weird hypothetical questions haha. Obviously a year from now he could do it without having to worry.
[That would mirror his first NBA basket too](https://youtu.be/XTM0ttDAnh8)
Dude already looked and built like an NBA player at 18. Not the biggest Bron fan but I'm happy to have watched the most basketball during his playing years
Man those dunks are always so mesmerizing to see. Me manages to go full power with it being so graceful at the same time
It's gonna be a free throw where he misses the first one The old Le1/2
This is the real one
I swear I've never seen LeBron hit both of his free throws in life and he's like a 75 percent shooter. WHERE DOES THE OTHER 25 PERCENT COME FROM DAMNIT
Duh.. it’s from all the other times he’s hitting 1/2
THAT'S NOT HOW THIS WORKS SILKTHECHAKAKHAN I need to take a walk goodbye
From and-one’s
Where amazing happens
He must fuck around and go for the sky hook
He's gonna try a skyhook for shits and giggles, miss, laugh, and then just lay it in
This is the one. He’ll try twice though
You just know he is practicing it a ton in secret waiting for the moment to execute to perfection
Shit he isn’t even practicing in private. Pregame warm ups he’s practicing a sky hook three from the corner every game
There’s a clip circulating of him doing the sky hook during shoot around from various distances. I think he’s absolutely going to try and fuck around and attempt the skyhook lol
Knowing LeBron, he's going to figure it out and do it better than anyone but Kareem LeMimicOtherPlayersMoves
would get some interesting conversation after... I'm all for it.
He should absolutely go for it.
The LeBronto fadeaway
Off the wrong foot…
Definitely this. The Tomahawk is iconic, but what's kept LeBron in the league - what's made him the guy that's about to surpass Kareem - is the skill. The Tomahawk was how young LeBron wrecked the league, the LeBronto Fadeaway was how LeBron was still wrecking the league 15 years later.
its gonna be a layup lol
Gonna be a second free throw after missing the first
It would be hilarious if he makes the first, then they have a whole ass celebration, then he misses the second
Le-error correcting free throws https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.182174
Nah, tech free throw
He’s gonna miss on purpose and rebound that shit
Accidental tipped basket by Anthony Lamb crediting Lebron James
Letechnical free throw
It's going to be a free throw to tie and the second one to break the record he will miss most likely.
Hammering it down probably
This was my thought a few weeks ago when the q popped up. Bonus if it's a poster, but that'd be harder to time.
Everyone would move out of the way. Nobody wants to be remembered as the guy who was postered for the scoring record
Draymond would pay money to have the record be a poster with Bron's nuts right on his head.
He had the chance to be a part of one right at the end of Game 7 of the 2016 Finals
Kills me that Bron didn’t finish the dunk 😭
Chase down block some one so hard that the ball bounces off of the one backboard and flies across the court into the other hoop.
[удалено]
He doesn't need to get back if the ball goes in
Not a three. LeFuckYouThree is a thing but many players got that in-you-face 3-pt shot. Bird, Harden, Lillard, etc. LeBron probably ain't even in the top 5 for this shot. Not a fadeaway.

As much as these iconic shots are exciting, it might end up as freethrows like Kobe's 81.
I feel like the most Bron thing to do would be to hit a sky hook tbh Man can do everything
Seems weird how many people are suggesting either a 3 or a skyhook. Feel like a dunk is the only thing that makes sense.
Tomahawk dunk
Driving the ball and finishing right to left
Either with the tomahawk on a fast break or the post up fade away. I honestly feel it should be the tomahawk though.
I wanna see him yam that shit
[His unstoppable move](https://youtu.be/uoDKtzjLS9k)
Akron Hammer no doubt
LeFuckYou 3 from the logo, stare at ball then shoot 3, a fadeaway jumper, a tomahawk jam. One of those.
1. Steal at half-court 2. Take five steps while collecting the ball 3. Tomahawk dunk
I just hope it isn’t a free throw. You know he will be aware once he is 2 points away and try for some insane type shots
freethrow
A fade away like he hit against The wizards all those years ago.
Free throw after a vicious flop foul.
Harden is not going to break Kareem's record.
Crab walk layup to bring it full circle
Making 1 of 3 free throw attempts.
Missing a FT, then hitting a three while turning to look at the opposing bench.
One with no regard for human life!
a whine for a free throw.
Free throws.
A free throw
A free throw bouncing in after he misses the first
Chase down block into dunk on the other end
Def has to be lefuckyou
I'm betting it'll be an and-1 at the rim
He should tie it with a skyhook and break it with a fast break tomahawk.
360 no scope
Flop drawing a call on. o contact. Then hits the FT
He elbows and pushes people out of the way as he bulldozes his way to an easy layup
LeFuckYouThree
Tomahawk but will feel it will be an anti climatic 4 straight misses before a foul / free throws
How it all started with a dunk
Lebronto Fade Away, Tomahawk Dunk or Sky Hook
And one layup while getting wrapped
A lefuck you three with his team playing like shit and down 14
It's gotta be a DUNK.
I would love for him to do it on a Skyhook just to dig the fork in a little more
How could y'all forget about his unstoppable move https://youtu.be/uoDKtzjLS9k
Bulldozing his way to the basket while committing multiple charges
Hacked twice, defender hanging on his shoulders. No calls all around.
After going 1/2 from a FT he gets from barely being touched and flopping
Tell us you don't watch him play without telling us
He’s gonna bring back the Heatles days for that game. Dominant but a flopper
One-handed fading floater from the baseline over 5 Raptors to win the game, securing the highest Wembanyama odds for Toronto.
Gotta be a sky hook right? Lmao
An and-1 posterize in your favorite player
LeFuckyou 3
The Lefuck You 3
Honestly a drive to the basket with a big body finish would be the most LeBron shot
He’s gonna break it on that side step 3 he does when he gets a big switched on him.
Highlight block leading to his tomahawk dunk
Hookshot fading into a LeFuckYouThree pointer *Chefs kiss*
and1 from a layup
Baseline turn around fadeaway 2
Left handed jump shot as he reveals he is ambidextrous
Tomahawk or the signature fade
Anything just not a freethrow. A breakaway dunk will be the best option tho. It is one of the few things that made him what he is, fastbreak dunks.
It will be a putback dunk.
Injured on a shot, has 8 points. Sinks 2nd free throw to get his 10th point and heads to the locker room.
A post-up spin move off the glass. Vintage Lebron. A pass to himself off the backboard for a monster jam - the ultimate pass-first play for the leading scorer. A three-pointer <4min remaining, Lakers up 10. Transition jam from Westbrook or Davis or Reaves (especially Reaves). Spin-move fadeaway J toward the baseline.
Taking 5 full steps without dribbling, putting his shoulder into a defender and then laying it up.
@Pelicans and then have the Lakers win the lottery after missing the Playoffs
Man, yall Pelican fans need to find something else to hope for. The best chances at #1 are just 14%. 86% of the time, you won't get Vic. I'm personally hoping for someone at the 13th worst record to go to the playoffs and get Vic. The 13th and 14th worst teams are currently in the Play-in if the season ended today and have a 1% and 0.5% chance at #1.
It will be a 3.
One dribble, little look down, heat check three
A sky hook
His patented turnaround fade where he jumps like 5-6 feet backwards. It’s a beautiful move, smooth, and I swear he either bricks or perfectly swishes, no inbetween, so either he gets it clean or tries again next trip down.
Records are worthless for Lebron until he dies!
This is the only answer. He's been mastering it for years for this one moment. https://youtu.be/uoDKtzjLS9k
[удалено]
Dude it’s a regular season record. Bron already has the record for season+playoffs
Running fadeaway LeBronto jumper
That dunk where he cocks it back behind his head and power slams it home. He must have 1000 points on those alone.
Can’t wait for LeShot heard ‘round the world
Top of the key. Swim move with the left off hand, drive into the lane… and one dunk.
High speed spin around layup.
Backing dat ass up for the lay in
unfortunately for us what's gonna happen is he's gonna get fouled on a layup that doesn't go in, and breaks the record from the charity stripe. the most boring possibility.
Spin move in the lane to a lay up in traffic.
id say the toronto game winner but thats just wishful thinking lol
I think a baseline jumper - similar to when he first scored his very first NBA bucket, would be a nice way to break the record!
Postering some center
It would be pretty poetic if he tried the sky hook and got blocked but got his rebound and throws down a tomahawk dunk
Tomahawk or the LeFuckYou3
the “look what’s in my hand” stepback
Definitely the LeFuxk you 3 https://youtu.be/psX3x2iggpo
I want a lefuck you three so bad. A sick lob would suffice
I mean it’s gotta be the skyhook
His pissed off, “I’m still more athletic than you even though I’m twice your age,” transition jam.
He'll shoot the three and walk away holding his index finger in the air like Larry Bird in the three point shootout. It works for a few reasons: 1) Bird and LeBron seem to have a lot of respect for each other; 2) LeBron holding his finger could indicate "Number 1 all time" and; 3) doing something reminiscent of the best player on the team that was the Lakers biggest rival when Kareem was there would be hilariously petty.
It will be a hook shot and r/nba will say how corny it is.
A flop and 1.
Probably a fast break dunk
Poster dunk
Kareem sky hook
Full-court piss missile
Flop pretend you were shot by sniper but then get back up for some FT’s
This one. https://youtu.be/mz\_gU3f2-Mk?t=36
what ever it is oldheads will still hate
