Top 15 NBA Career Point Leaders (1946-2020) 

I love you! Keep up the good work

Do time line of the 2000s pistons and how they lost 5 straight conference finals

iNerdSome how do you make theze

Aye everyone knows that LBJ is going to be number 1 on the all time scoring list before he retires passing everyone

He is already in the top 3

Fr😂

More like the defense just didnt exist

defence didnt exist?

nacho cheese hahah they just couldn’t guard him 🤣

@@cuhecutioner not really, it's more because of his fake dunk move, and turnaround fadeaway

None more so than Wilt

No mention of Karl Malone huh

@@dondada4076 We dont mess with Karl Malone

LawyersRFun not suprised his personal life was pretty messed up

@@dondada4076 He could put the ball in the hoop though lmao.

@Taylor D stfu

@@AcousticOlli ngl you not wrong, he tryna act like he’s the hulk, he’s not that strong and vertical? He doesn’t have, a vertical. He is just tall. Kareem might’ve been better than him. He just better be glad there wasn’t good tape that analysts could go through. He had many weaknesses he didn’t wanna own up too. Cocky asf.

A beautiful human 😂 he’s a pile of garbage

Some revisionist history hear from young people. "Fuck you, kid" is what a lot of people remember him for lol.

Kareem is goals bro, he accomplished everything a basketball player would ever want or dream of accomplishing. GOAT is a very fitting title indeed

yep, without those two breaks (I'll leave out the injury season - that's sports) he probably would've broke 40K and all anybvody would be talking about was whether Lebron was the 2nd or 3rd best player of all time.

@@lttfan9185 noboby? sorry lebron will always be in the conversation, since in the end he would have passed mj as well even if mj had 40k points but mjs efficiency would be off the roof

And he played against real defenses. Not the pussified crap LeCryBaby James has faced! And it's not a debate, LeBron isn't even in the top 10 best players of all time for me no matter how much points he scores. He's choked, he's been swept, he's lost multiple finals. Jordan reached 6, he won all 6 and it never ever went to a 7th game in any of the two 3-peats. There's no discussion who's the GOAT.

@@eddiewinehosen6665 typical lebron hater, hes in your head rent free all fucking day

@@lttfan9185 lebron would still pass mj regardless bc he will get over 40k easily. and it took mj so many shots to score a lot. lebron passed mj in points on way less shot attempts so games and seasons missed has nothing to do with it. bron will end his career with 42-43k pts

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: *"That's cute"*

@@LowBudgetJustinY LEBRON - HOLD MY BEER

andre sapiter nah wilts was most impressive

50 000 Subscribers with just 2 videos wilt did it in less time than jabbar

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol

TRAM PHAN lmao

Yep this Man played in 4 different decades!

@@LowBudgetJustinY only 3 but ok

ms ns 4 decades, 90s, 00s, 10s, 20s

Vc e brasileiro ?

@@bigmen1503 yep kkkk

Shaq basically did the same thing when you think about it 💀

@@zymond8405 yeah same with mj. The impressive part about wilt is the time frame he got them in. Also unlike shaq, wilt was a good shooter.

@@masterchief5833 well to be fair mj just decided not to shoot threes he could have but didn’t want to wilt he didn’t even have the three point line to score from

@@beefboss1217 Well atleast from what I heard, mj was pretty shit at threes. I think he could have been good if he practiced.

@@masterchief5833 I mean yeah he was pretty bad at threes but like you said if he pet on practicing them he could have been good at the wilt he didn’t have the three point line to practice from he could only score two’s

Ren Abarca Kobe said ‘Get noobed’ once he passed shaq

I know it's a joke but Shaq dominance is more than scoring. Kobe is of the Jordan mold hes suppose to be a better scorer than Shaq. Again I get the joke I just know a lot of people will watch this and think scoring is all that matters.

R. B. Yeah I know it was a joke but for most dominant than shaq would win by far

Nova_ X I know 😢

ZZ 5>4

that is factual

smooth af

That is Dr.j 1 of the best dunkers ever

cradle

It’s my favorite in game dunk of all time, there’s even a nice RU-vid vid of it with the defender’s side of things!

Had Malone stayed in Utah he probably is the all time scorer. Amaizing, Malone and Kareem, two post players are at the top being post players, and didn’t shoot threes a testament to their longevity though it’s only a matter of time till LBJ passes them.

Malone's Legacy relative to Jordan is rather fascinating: five times Malone came in second for points per game in a season. Each time, the one man ahead of him was Jordan. So, Malone would most likely have won Five Scoring Titles if not for Jordan. To put that into perspective, Kobe, Kareem and Curry have each only won 2, while Julius Erving only won 3. Malone also, very likely, would have been only the fourth player in NBA history to win three MVPs in a row, as well as two titles and two Finals MVPs, if only he hadn't played in the same era as Jordan. Jordan probably did the most damage to Karl Malone's Legacy of all the great players. Simultaneously, I think if people studied Malone more he would be ranked higher all-time and looked back on far more favorably. The irony of Jordan's greatness is how it degrades other greats from his era, and how this is likely to be used against Jordan in the future (aka 'Jordan played in a weak era, and therefore is not GOAT').

@@solcreate490 malone is the most lebron player we have had, and neither jordan or malone stat padded, if anyone has doubts that jordan would have "handled lebron" if he was playing in this era, its that every single star on every single team was gunning for mj and not one of them could get close.

The west was much better than the east from 92-00. East always had 1-2 teams that could make it to finals pretty fresh.

@@Hero-3 you are wrong. Jordan was the best player on the planet but the West Was stacked. The East had Ewing playing for a crap organization who surrounded him with nothing and Miller playing for a small-market who couldn't afford in the time before the lockout to surround him with anything. Outside of Penny Hardaway and Shaq while Mike was playing baseball the East was crap. Take account of the 90s Hall of Famers and then tell me I'm wrong.

You guys didn't have an ELEVEN foot rim?

Corny

@@gabegrugios3646 It is corny.

Just hearing Jordans name was a true moment. the legend, and that 6th championship.

Amen, brother, may the Legend, her Legendary daughter, and the others rest in peace

That game gives me ptsd now

I was thinking the same thing when that clip was shown

Yeah it honestly couldn't have played out more dramatically in a movie, unbelievably sad though. The game ended at 11pm, so the crash was about 10 hours of less after the end of the TV broadcast.

If Jordan has a 20 year career he might have been the league's all time scoring leader

it is not insane....at that time players were not so equal. Now there is more "stuff" to put players physically almost to the same level, so they can defend better etc....

@Liu Kang two words...sky hook

Kareem played 20 seasons, and he got 38k points.Wilt played 13 seasons and he got 31k, imagine if wilt played 20 seasons...

theres only one player in the history could pass kareen. THE KING LBG

😂

@Eilliw Nodrog not hating but there were 8 teams and 2 round of playoffs back then. He played mostly against 6-5 skinny white guys, who smoke cigarettes and worked 9-5 during the off-season

@@dustincrawford7775 then why didnt the other 7 teams just win if it was that easy

@@carlyshay9216 simple. The Celtics were the original super team. I know people think lebron started the trend, but they're wrong. If there are only 96 players in the league(12 man rosters at the time) And you have arguably the best/2nd best plus 4 or 5 of the top 15 and no other team except the Lakers has more than 1 in the top 10.... You're gonna win a lot.

@@carlyshay9216 plus riddle had a serious size advantage on everyone but chamberlain

also sucks to know that kobe and some other players would be higher up if injuries didnt happen. Kobe would most definately pass karl malone, and this season being cancelled ruins lebrons chances of going 2nd all time

@@tomasf8964 he was also on pace to possibly be 1st all time

tomas F he can still do it. In 2-3 seasons he’ll be 1st all time in scoring.

@@tomasf8964 he's still gonna pass Kareem eventually

tomas Lebron is on pace to be 1st all time in around 2 seasons so it’s gonna happen.

* Black man has entered the court *

Allow me to have this dance*

@@TwinEeviL Bob Pettit and dolph scayes could play very very well against black guys of any era no problem

@@oldsensei8350 they wouldn't start in division 2 these days

Bob & dolph both know better

That thing moved faaast lmaoo

That means whoever logged nba history is lying about how much he really did score😬

Either their was more games in a season or he just dropped 147 points per game

PurpThang by the point we see him in the leaderboard, he was in his 4th season ... he didnt get 12000 points in a season lol his highest was 4029 in 61-62

Jay Jay his highest ppg is 50.4 ... he didnt get 12000 in one season, he got that in 4

oscar robertson has one or two ENTIRE SEASONS that averaged a tripled double... thats absolutely epic lol. the man was close to averaging a trile double for his entire career. lowkey goat type

his 61-62 season averaged 30-12-11 .......

@John Goss I used to think he was insane, but these days Westbrook makes me think differently

@Finn O'Connor no

thank you ma'am

Doc was great and classy

They also added his ABA points...

That was not even the broadcast...Made up.

@@mrbeaverstate I hope you don't believe in jesus then

For the announcer to realize would be more accurate

Kareem's fanboys don't want to talk about that. Wilt spent the last couple years just focusing on defense as well.

@@wymple09 true that's a good point but Chamberlain clearly was washed up a lot earlier than kareem was Chamberlain Never Would Have Made 20 years his knees were shot but that's just reality.... was Chamberlain more explosive yes but longevity should count for something unless you skip 4 years of college then it's kind of overrated like bryant and james did

@@oldsensei8350 Chamberlain played volleyball long after his NBA years, and thumped on NBA players in basketball games into his 50's. Your premise is ridiculous.

PayPal I watch the games I watched him play his last couple of Seasons his knees were shot he couldn't handle the rigors of an 82-game season regular season any more i was you there i watched it.. did you... are you trying to compare a few volleyball games to a 100 game NBA season your premise is ridiculous

@@oldsensei8350 Yes, I was there. I'm pretty sure I'm also older than you and am not a fanboy of anybody. Nowhere from anybody anywhere has the subject of Wilt's knees come up. Until you. Let me know when Jabbar or anyone else has 1/3 the records that Wilt owns, and will always own. Set in 13 seasons, BTW.

Ikr

Wilt is the GOAT

Lol, it took a reoccurring and lasting groin injury and a pandemic to stop Lbj

@Eilliw Nodrog all all those guys are pretty well famous

@@oldsensei8350 no

As soon as i saw 1959 hit the top i was like here comes wilt i couldn't stop laughing

Lol

He was a great player and should be the first Euro in HOF

The fact that he’s 6th still absolutely blows my mind.

@@richardhill4938 don’t tell that to Drazen Petrovic, Arvydas Sabonis, Dino Radja, Sarunas Marcilionus, Nikos Galis, or any of the other European players already in there.

He actually never got to top 5 Lebron passed Wilt before he did

Shit he passed dirk while he dirk was still playing I mean ain't that a bitch 💀💀💀 the man yet retired at that time 😂😂😂

Lebron has some time sooo he might beat the record

Most of these stat videos end with LBJ flying up the board at the end. Longevity is key

@@adamdada6447 Indeed, Lebron is 35. Kareem played until he was 41, and scored 6,800 pts from ages 36-41. Being about 4,000 pts behind him now, I would say that James will top Kareem by about 4,000, barring major injury. Check back in about 6 yrs :)

@Eilliw Nodrog Gordon Willie, the age is from the start of the season, not some random point in between. He was 35 when the season started.

Imagine if the man played his career straight from being drafted to his final retirement

Maybe, but there might be a chance he didn't get a second dynasty, because by the time he got his first with the bulls he was emotionally and physically drained. He needed that break, so he chose to take it. It probably did better for his career and gave him a spark to return and win again because he missed basketball due to being away.

@@lloydrodriguez9969 the commissioner kicked him out. Save that emotionally and physically drained shit lol

@@orodedavid6556 No, watch The Last Dance. The commissioner did not kick him out. Not only did the commissioner deny it...MJ denied it himself. I'm going to take Jordan's words over yours. Save your conspiracy theory shit lol

@@lloydrodriguez9969 yeah because the commissioner would admit that on a michael jordan documentary film. Just stop typing. In fact, stop thinking for yourself, ok!

@@orodedavid6556 But why would Jordan say it wasn't true? He wasn't afraid of calling people out or contradicting people on the documentary. Maybe the problem is you don't think for yourself and just take any speculation as fact, because it's interesting to you. Take the information you're given and make a judgement instead of making stuff up and sticking to it, because you have a bias. Jordan says he wasn't kicked out by the commissioner. His friends said he told them about retiring a year before it happened. They're right. You're wrong. Deal with it.

All wilt did was amazing 50 years after he last played; 25 years after his death; but what is more amazing is he still hasn’t gotten his JUST due

@Finn O'Connor why did you lie? i put dislike to your video

Finn O'Connor it’s literally a fortnite montage 😐

Finn O'Connor more like Fin O’CON g- get it?

@@yesmymajestybut898 just delete your comment man

Finn O'Connor I’m better than you at fortnite 1v1 me bot

They including ABA points..

@@grantrmoore I'm really glad to see those stats included. Looking at the records in the old days, it always felt that Dr. J and other players like George Gervin deserved to have their entire careers taken into account. Different leagues, different competition to some extent, but great players in any league.

Dr J was better than lebron.. he just was before his time

@@theicemachine1574 wtf did you just say

@@loweit4842 lebron is ordinary compared to Dr J. Only thing lebron could do better is pass

Some people dislike stats when they don’t agree with “somes” way of thinking

Because he isn’t

Karl Malone doesn’t deserve anything

Yep. I remember those playoff games like it was yesterday. Cussing Karl Malone all the time if Jordan hadn't stepped away from the game so many times he would have ended up at the top by 10k points or more

Sebastian Gonzales 🙄

@@sebastiangonzales46 is that why there are still many players from then that still hold records today the game has evolved and has become more efficient and understood but without those "plumbers" you would have no lebron Jordan bryant Giannis curry etc. They served their purpose and took the game to where it is now and to add to that 50 years from now they'll be saying lebron only did what he did because the league was full of less skilled competitors

Corey Reeves True lol

Most people hate lebron but when he retires everyone is going to miss him playing

@@zakka7355 most people don't have a problem with lebron but rather with his delusional fans that free-base his bunghole.

The most invisible NBA HOFer. He was a humble, no frills guy. Alot like Alex English.

There's one giant problem with that they didn't keep track of steals and assists till the early 1970s

@@oldsensei8350 that’s still 50 years of stats.. I’d like to see it

We know where the bulk of Karl Malone’s points came from on this chart

Things are supposed to amaze you about wilt; especially his not getting his JUST due
