Calls the regular season stat holder "the all time career leader"? Does MLB do it for HRs? Pitcher wins? Hockey Goals/points? serious question.

The regular season is an even playing field when accumulating stats due to the same number of games they are scheduled for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady is quickly catching up. I think the only reason he’s still playing is records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically, there could be a player who racks up tons of TDs in the regular season and few in the postseason---and still be crowned "career leader"...while being behind the actual all time all TD leader by 50, 60, 70+ TDs--a huge number.

I think Tom Brady has played something like 4 additional seasons because of all his playoff appearances. I think LeBron James is like 6 or 7 additional seasons because of his playoff runs in his career. 6 or 7 additional seasons? Just off the top of my head, if every time he made the playoffs he had 6 game series that include the NBA finals, that would be 24 games per playoff, and would imply at minimum 20 finals runs to get to that many 82 game NBA seasons in playoff games Just looked, Brady has 2.5 additional seasons of football, Lebron has fewer than 3 additional seasons of playoffs Edited December 17, 2019 by arcane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 2.5 additional seasons of football he's played in the post season. Because of the way he plays, and manages to avoid contact, I think it's more age and not mileage that has an impact on Brady's career. Regardless, 2.5 additional years of football is substantial, especially at his age. Edited December 17, 2019 by Nextmanup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think it's fair. If player A has always played on a bad team and player B always played on a good team...he's going to have more games played if they play the same amount of years. This is why they split them....not everyone makes the playoffs consistently or at all. 42 minutes ago, arcane said: 6 or 7 additional seasons?

Lebron went to something like 8 finals in a row and Brady has made the playoffs every year but 1 in his career I believe. Thanks for clarifying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
