People said that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time NBA scoring record would withstand the test of time. That it would never be broken.
LeBron James broke it and we're still counting.
WATCH IT AGAIN: Here's the exact moment that LeBron broke Kareem's all-time scoring record
Now, we're about to see James break another one of Abdul-Jabbar's records in a few games.
As of Wednesday, December 11, LeBron has played 57,403 total minutes in the regular season. Kareem holds the record for minutes played at 57,446.
So, at some point over the next couple of games, LeBron James will become the NBA's all-time leader in minutes played. Here's a look at the top 10 via Basketball Reference.
Folks, this means we'll have seen more of LeBron James than any other NBA player in the league's history. That's wild. That's nearly 1,000 hours of basketball on an NBA court — and counting. And we're not even counting all the playoff minutes or the minutes played for Team USA during the summer.
We're never seeing a run like this again.
