"Even if a player averaged _ for _ seasons, they wouldn't break (insert all-time career record)"
Any good examples of this in the NBA, taking a historically good season as a baseline and using it to put into context how hard it would be to break a career record total?
As an example in the NFL, if a player averaged Calvin Johnson's per game receiving yards of 122.75 in his record-breaking 2012 season (1,964 yards, single-season record), they would need 11 full 17-game seasons (187 games) to break Jerry Rice's career receiving yards record of 22,895. There are 0 active WRs with 187+ games played and only 38 in history.
