It's entirely up to him. He sits right now at 706, coming out of a 48 goal in 68 games season. Had the coronavirus not shut down the season early, he would have broken 50 yet again, obviously. But to break the record, all he's looking at is averaging 38 goals a season for the next 5 seasons, or 32 a season for the next 6. With no signs of slowing down, this is incredibly possible, just a matter of if he wants to do it or if he wants to retire and spend more time with his family. </p><p>Either way, his legacy is set. And I'm glad his legacy includes not just winning a Cup, but also being the People's Champion. Nobody hates Ovi anymore. Nobody talks shit about Ovi anymore.
