Youngest to 20,000

I'm probably repeating myself here, but I'll say it anyway.

Being the youngest to score 20,000 points isn't that big of a deal. Kobe became that player a few years back and Le Bron became the youngest last night. They both beat Wilt Chamberlain by about a year.

The thing is, Wilt went to FOUR years of college before entering the NBA. Both Kobe and LeBron entered the NBA right out of high school. By anybody's account, Wilt did it in much fewer games.

Will anybody "break" this record by Le Bron?

Probably not, at least not for a long while. ALL players now have to go to college for at least one year before entering the NBA. In effect, to beat LeBron, they'd have to do it one full year faster.

One more tidbit? Wilt did it without the benefit of a three-point play. Kobe and Le Bron live on the outside shooting threes. Wilt had to do it the old-fashioned way, two points at a time.

Apples and oranges. And the shiniest red apple will always be Wilt Chamberlain. Orange you glad I'm here to set the record straight?
