Default The most mind boggling record I've ever heard
Lebron. Now at 1293 consecutive games scoring in double digits. Dating back to 2007. How is that even possible? He never left a game early with illness or an injury, or had a really bad night? Astonishing.

Amazing record for sure. It helps that he is essentially the coach of the Lakers and decides when to come in and out of the game.

Impressive but I think 2632 is much more impressive.

All he had to do was avoid major injury in a non-contact sport, and show up for work.

True but Lebron is playing a sport where 90% of the guys just show up and give 10% the effort they gave in college, especially on defense. The talent in the NBA is elite but the drive and motivation after getting cut NBA checks is honestly pathetic, and IMO one of the main driving points of why the league is on a YOY decline in watchers. And the fact basketball is a far easier sport in comparison to baseball. Like I said, its very impressive but there's way more baseball facts I find far more impressive.

What are you basing this on?

As far as consecutive game streaks are concerned, playing 2632 in a row is equally impressive, if not more.

With regard to records in general, I find Walter Johnson's 110 shutouts to be the most impressive. My unscientific guess is that it's 99.999% likely to stand the test of time. I don't even think there will ever be another pitcher who even records 110 complete games.

The college remark or the yoy decline? The college one is my opinion, I just watch college games and see some of the most savage play ever up and down the court. And then watch NBA games and see nba players barely show up and usually don't even seem like they want to be there.

The yoy decline is just official numbers.

I saw a great quote that sums my thoughts up fairly well (except I'd say the decline is more because of lackluster effort than foreign stars):

College basketball is really competitive, a lot of well coached teams, playing the more traditional style of basketball. The NBA is driven by storylines and narratives, but is on a decline because most of the stars arent American.

LeBron didn't play in 1293 consecutive games, he just scored 10 or more points in that many consecutive games he happened to play in. Playing in 2632 consecutive games does seem more impressive to me.

Ripken as I recall made some pretty token appearances to keep the streak alive.

Can you provide any specifics? I've done a few quick searches and couldn't find anything to support your statement. However, he didn't miss an inning for over 5 years at the start of the streak. Also, I found this article that talks about the closest he came to missing a game.

https://www.mlb.com/news/brawl-nearl...ron-man-streak

Regardless, LeBron's streak is still a little less than half as many games as Ripken's. Combined with LeBron missing games during the streak and the fact that basketball has a lot more days off in the schedule and teams never play more than 2 days in a row, I'm still going with Ripken having the more impressive streak.
