NBA All Time Leaders ⛹🏽‍♂️ in Career Points Scored Ranked (NBA History)

[@Cryptidswildfoodoutdoors]

Wilt did that in only 14 seasons without a three point shot and the rules changed against him. Undeniable GOAT.

[@thomasglitter9087]

Yea, and against only ten teams mostly made up of fireman and plumbers 💀

[@dhicks1217]

What's really crazy about MJ at 32k is he did all that in 13 full seasons. That 15 year career is deceiving. He played 17 games in 94-95 season and 18 in 85-86 season

[@DiscoveRanQ]

@@dhicks1217 yep MJ would only best himself if he played all seasons

[@santosonly7]

Another cursory comment. The reason why MJ’s PPG is so high is primarily because his Assists Per Game is dismal. While Bron is number 1 in points, he is simultaneously top 5 in assists (he’s number 4). Do you know what Jordan is? # 52. That’s why Jordan won all those scoring titles and why his PPG is so high, he couldn’t score AND assist at the elite level. But that’s OK. It’s not just Jordan couldn’t do it. No other player has been able to be in the top 5 all time in BOTH categories. No one else except, you guessed it, LeBron James. So the next time you wanna talk about how great Jordan’s PPG was, instead you should just say “one trick pony”.

[@anticomunista2148]

​@@santosonly7MJ was a Shooting Guard not a Point Guard, passing wasnt his job; and guess what, it worked ( 2 three peats and 6-0 in the finals)

[@Just_another_Euro_dude]

MJ is player that didn't need to move away from the club that drafted him just to finally win some titles. MJ also won 3 of his first titles while playing on a team with only 2 superstars that was nowhere near to be called a superteam. LeBron moved to Miami, formed a superteam with 3 full fledged superstars of the league and EVEN THEN he FAILED MISERABLY in 2011 and 2014. Then LeBron formed another superteam in Cleveland and again failed miserably. Won only one title, barely. Then AGAIN LeBron formed ANOTHER superteam with the Lakers and surprise, surprise, he failed MISERABLY yet AGAIN. Got only the bubble title out of all the seasons with the Lakers. 😅😅😅😅 LeBron is barely a top 5 player. BARELY. Cause i am not so sure about it. And let's not even talk about the toughness and clutch factor of the MJ (or Larry Bird) vs LeBron. Let's not even go there. 😂😂😂😂 ​@@santosonly7

[@derekflowers3803]

​@santosonly7 the object of the game is to win. Some lead their team to the top with Defense & rebounding see Russell and 04 Pistons. Some with Assists see Magic. Some did it 6 times by being a unstoppable scorer.

[@BlessedOrri]

All the MJ fanatics in the comment section Glazing their idol and butthurt LeBron passed him up on the scoring list in his 12th season. At least LeBron didn’t run from the game to go play baseball he’s different than MJ truly one of a kind. 🐐 10 Scorinf titles is insane though but what you expect MJ is the best scorer of alltime that was his specialty not surprised just seeing his fanatics glaze that is wild. 😂😂 LeBron has more games more seasons and a better shooting FG% than Jordan alltime is insane and his specialty isn’t even scoring yikes LeBron is different. 🐐🐐🐐

[@LargeDude2023]

@ Kareem, the 6 time champion, doesn’t get recognized for longevity records he’s held for decades because until recently winning was what mattered most, not accumulating stats. Kareem also did all of this after arguably having the best college career in history. If he would have gone hardship and skipped college his career statistical totals would no doubt be even higher.

LeBron now has 41,003 points. LeBron is the only player to score 39k, 40k, and 41k, and he should be the only one to score 42k before the end of the season.

[@DiscoveRanQ]

Yep and in the season of load management talks, he only missed his first game! Do you think he'll retire on top meaning no health issues, no injuries? Or we're going to see LeBron gradually in reduced role playing 20mpg?

[@StevenC32]

@ He said he won’t play until the wheels fall off, I think he will probably play 2 more years and then start a new NBA franchise in Vegas as the principal owner.

[@JustLikeHeaven77]

He's also the only one to lose 6 finals.

[@StevenC32]

@ it appears you don’t know basketball history among many other things. The NBA logo Jerry West was 1-8 in NBA Finals but most people with basketball knowledge understands that winning NBA Finals is a team accomplishment not an individual accomplishment, but for some reason they now want to make an individual accomplishment as if a single player can win the championship. The best team wins the championship not the best player.

[@CertainTornado]

Bro, to be honest, I think that you made a mistake, Giannis passed Eddie Johnson in points Also, I think that Giannis can get close to the top 10, if he win one more championship and an MVP he can be considered the best PF of all time surpassing Duncan and Garnet

Nice but when you look MJ who is No5 on this list. He played like 7 season less from top 4 . Lebron James top 1 with 20 seasons. If MJ did not quit Bacetball to play Baseball several years and get 20 season instead 13 like others he would be top 1 unbetable on this list and still on place 5 he is way beter from first 4 even Cobe is No4 but he have like 7 seasons more from MJ

[@DiscoveRanQ]

@@AxoChillax yes 💯 the great what ifs of Jordans career. He took like 3 1/2 seasons off. Some say the Wizards MJ would be more fit had he not retire in 98. Thats crazy right because he still averaged 20+ and had a 51 point game.

[@AxoChillax]

Also i need to add When MJ quit Bascetball to play Baseball his father died. And MJ because of his father who loved baseball MJ go In his top Pick prime bascetball cariere to play baseball. So after he retired entyre World wanted to find in NBA new MJ like Alen Iwerson ,Lebron James etc. But even today in 2024 what MJ was doing nobody else can. They call him flying Mike with reason best dunker ever. He could fly from free shoot spot and dunk easily. Even Nike call rheir shoes Air Nike by Air Jordan. Cobe no 4 on list with 7 season more in NBA and only 1500 pts above MJ if MJ get just 1 season he would get 3k pts . I watched all MJ live matches nobody was glorify Cobe that much. When Cobe died now everyone compare Cobe with MJ. And MJ is silent he know how he was good and entyre World know MJ dont need to say anything. I dont dislike Cobe i am just realistic on end we will all die . But like we all see Lebron James sux he need to retire but his 20 season in NBA is not enough he want to surpas MJ for any cost even if he die in Arena . And MJ dont give a damn for him MJ in his prime show entyre world what Bascetball is and how good he is.. No more comments.

For all of those gawking at PPG and scoring titles, have you ever considered the primary reason Jordan’s PPG is so high is because he simply couldn’t Score AND assist at the elite level? (Jordan is #52 in all time assists) not a typo, #52😮. In other words Jordan could only do one or the other. He wasn’t good enough to do BOTH at the elite level. But that’s ok. There is no player in the entire history of the NBA that has been able to be BOTH top 5 points and assist … except 1, yup LeBrun Jaaaaames.
