Need to include the ABA
Your vids are intertaning you got a new sub.
For me as a german, it still feels unreal to see nowitzki between all these legends. HoF deserved!
2nd best pf of all time. and top 10 of all time! one of my favs
It's an unbelievable achievement. Dirk joined the league early and was a good scorer for many many seasons around 25+ ppg. And he was 21 years in the league for the same team. Unreal. So deserved that he got at least one ring ❤ (BTW, tnx Lebron 😊)
Yes, and congratulations. Dirk was one of the first truly great non-American players. I always wish the Lakers could have landed him- not only a great player, but a great guy, a model team player, and a credit to the sport.
@@user-sx7wo1yl7y Dirk was amazing but dont forget hakeem
Dirk is my goat. But I’m from north Texas.. so that’s a given
Who’s here after bron hit 40k 👉

Getting 10,000 and 20,000 points back in the 50s and 60 is just astounding.
GREAT VIDEO! Loved seeing the impact George Mikan and Bob Davies had once the Lakers and Royals joined
RIP Mr. Bill Russell the lord of the rings NBA Champ 🏆 forever legend 🙏
Bill,kobe, and Wilt are hooping in heaven
Rapists don’t go to heaven
@@Sonicthedripwords of wisdom 🧠👍👍
Russell was before his time sadly.
@@Sonicthedrip I met Kobe in hell
Wow KAJ really held it for over 35 years
Well he played for over 35 years so
He also played 4 years in college (technically 3 as they didn't let freshmen play) so LBJ will never be the GOAT
@@IamtheBirdman60 cause he was too good for college great logic.
@@maelguiraud3568 just why LBJ was able to pass Lew Alcindor for the scoring record. If Lew was able to go right from high-school he would have another 8k points at least
@@IamtheBirdman60 but he didn't.
Love your videos
Thoughts.
1. Joe Fulks was essentially the greatest scorer in NBA history until 1952, and most people have no idea who he is.
2. Max Zoslofski stayed pretty steady around #3 all time through the mid 50s, another relatively unknown player.
3. Ed Macauley being the leading scorer into the late 1950s despite not having the name recognition of a Dolph Schayes, George Mikan, Bob Cousy, or Paul Arizin.
4. Dolph Schayes doesn’t get brought up often enough despite being the NBA’s all time scorer through the late 50s and into the mid 60s.
5. Bob Cousy is thought of as mostly a passer, but was around 3rd all time in scoring into the mid 60s.
6. Look how fast Wilt Chamberlain rises to the top.
7. Bob Pettit doesn’t get mentioned a lot considering he was the NBA’s all time leading scorer from around 63-66.
8. Bill Russell, despite not being known as a scorer was hanging around the top 10 all time in scoring well into the late 60s.
9. Oscar Robertson, known mostly as a triple double machine, held on for a really long time as 2nd scorer all time behind Wilt, well into the mid 70s.
10. John Havlicek feels like a forgotten great considering he retired as the 3rd leading scorer all time.
11. Kareem was already a top 5 scorer all time at the end of the 70s and still had basically another decade left to play.
12. Gail Goodrich gets kind of overshadowed as an All Time Laker, basically retired right around a top 10 scorer all time.
13. Elvin Hayes retired 3rd all time leading scorer. Doesn’t get mentioned a ton either.
14. George Gervin climbed into the top 10 rather quickly and leveled off rather quickly.
15. Adrian Dantley has to be one of the most overlooked scorers all time, finishing his career 9th all time.
16. Similar to Dantley, Alex English retiring 7th all time gets overlooked.
17. Michael Jordan finishes 15th all time in scoring his first retirement, despite playing only 9 seasons, one of which he was injured.
18. Moses Malone retires 3rd all time In scoring, but doesn’t get mentioned as a top 10-15 player usually.
19. Michael Jordan rises up quickly after his comeback to finish 3rd all time after his 2nd retirement.
20. Karl Malone just kept scoring so much even at the end of his career that he zips passed everyone except Kareem.
21. Reggie Miller finished 12th all time in scoring. A lot higher than most would probably think.
22. Kobe and Shaq were the only players in the top 15 in scoring moving up the chart for a decent period, Kobe passing Jordan for 3rd before retiring.
23. Lebron is the first and only current player to crack the top 15 and moves up rather quickly to finish 1st.
24. Dirk finishing 6th all time is very impressive.
25. Carmelo Anthony was still following Lebron up the leaderboard to 9th, despite feeling a level below him and some other stars during that period.
Great job 😮DONE.THANKS❤
Since 1965-1966 there has been a Laker on top. Including Mikan's years as well, that is an incredible amount of time.
To say that about Malone tho is a stretch
@@jonluispenaMalone was never on top tho so irrelevant comment
Technically true. But probably better to say since 1968-69, there's been a Laker on top since that's when Wilt became a Laker
Great video
Wilt Chamberlain was still going strong before he retired
No, more like he stop trying after 8 years into his career. The injury is sustained stop him as well during Kareem rookie years
Good job!
All these legends...and among them the German Wunderkind Dirk Nowitzki #41, a true legend! Love the game!🏀
time to update this I should think!
Those pauses for Jordan make you really how much more he could have done.
He needed those pauses that’s who he was a pauser
If not for the retirements or the broken foot in 2nd year he would probably be near or higher than KAJ
@@basedgod8636 its suspected had he not retried the two times before 2003 he wou
Glad to see Wilkins is French 🇫🇷 ouiouilkins !! Thx for the vidéo
Lebron ran up that list like friggin' Secretariat.
Don’t blow LeFlop for his fake career stats. The most selfish player ever. All he cares about is HIS scoring and desire to be “KING” James. Pathetic.
@@MrBluesmeisterbut y’all love Jordan who didnt even get retirement gift because he was so shitty to his own teammates and even shit talks his own fans 🤦🏽♂️ keep calling bron selfish when the real selfishness came from ball hogging Jordan
@@MrBluesmeistertell me, how are these statistics fake? 😂
Imagine what MJ could have had if he didn't retire twice before his final retirement.
40k points would have happened for sure. Lebron is well on his way to 40k points if he wants, which I hope he does. Lebron will go down in history as having the greatest NBA career of all time (isn't close in my opinion) and it's hard to imagine anyone topping it.
@seanmulligan3037 nah Donald Trump would have hit 50k if he wanted to be a basketball player. Instead he chose to fight for america instead!!!
@@irishkniferd9837 I would love to watch trump try and shoot a bball
@seanmulligan3037 he was an Allstar in high-school and college. But he wanted to pursue a career helping Americans rather than showboat for personal glory. He would crush LeBron and MJ even today as he approaches 80!!!
image if any of the players on the list played longer
Who’s here after lebron james broke the record?
i am !!
Only two comments
People always sleep on Malone dude. Guy was a straight dawg
That Roger Murdoch was a damn good co-pilot!
Carmelo Anthony is 9th all time in points. Now that's mind-boggling.
The most shocking one for me too...
Kind of akin to where you see Rhianna in the top 10 selling music acts all time... what the...
Wilt chamberlain managed to stay top 5 going into 2017
To me is more amazing how one German like Dirk Nowitzki is in this list with so many legends....I can say that Nowitzki is legend!
Joe Fulks is the GOAT. He had to slow down to give everyone else a chance
The way LeBron’s name popped up and flew by everybody was crazy. I wonder how long it will take for someone to break that record.
Depends how longs someone plays and how many points they average
Yeah and it will probably have to be someone coming out of High School.
Gotta do an update on this video for current times.
Would be nice to see it by the teams that they played on.
Update it again 👑
What a dubious honor for Karl
Could you make this but with croatian basketball players
Also like the little nationality flag on the left. Nice touch
Bill Russell said it best about his contemporary…Wilt Chamberlain is the best and only Bill could really appreciate him.
He sacrificed his own statistics for the team.
God rest Wilt.
Wilt is a legend in a lot of ways.
Dominique was born in France while his father was serving there in the US military so he was never a French national
I wish Wilt had not stopped scoring after his 6-th year, had a 40 PPG lifetime to stop these foolish comparisons. The man had a 4000 point season!
I agree with you, Wilt should have just continued scoring, rebounding and blocking.
@@jdpbernal He kept rebounding and blocking. Stopped scoring since he was asked to play more like Russel.
@@vrokhlenko Yeah, it was dumb for them to ask play like Russell when the Celtics had like an entire team of all stars playing with Bill.
Don’t forget his leading the league in rebounds and assists…incomprehensible.
@@vrokhlenkoit was so the Lakers could showcase Jerry West. He ended up being the logo too of course.
damn, kareem held it for 35yrs and it took alot of new rules to be implemented so people can go near his score , no offense to lebron and malone but they to also had benefited from the rules change that manage to help them score that many same as kobe and MJ and im a big 23,24 fan
Tampoco los físicos de la era de kareem son los posteriores rivales de MJ o Kobe.
You also have to understand LeBron spent a little under half his career in the slowest paced, lowest scoring era since the NBA/ABA merger. 25 points back in 2000-2010 was way more difficult than 25 points now, and he was doing it efficiently too.
How they do this kind of videos?
I didn't know Carmelo Anthony was still playing.
Good stuff you scoundrel's.
MJ retired twice and was hurt his second year in the league he definitely would have scored well over 40k for his career
The best scorer, most impressive ppg averages in an era with less points scored. MJ = Easily #1 in all time scoring if he didn't retire twice and/or did not miss almost an entire season injured.
Arnie Risen really be risen
First to 10,000 George Mikan
20,000 Bob Pettit
30,000 Wilt Chamberlain
40,000 King James
Jordan scoring 32,000 in basically 13 seasons is INSANE. I believe LBJ through 13 seasons had 26k
Jordan average 28.3 points per 36 minutes played, compared 25.7 for Lebron. Regular season stats. Although they did play different positions.
Anthony nearly surpassing Shaq will always be crazy to me.
I had no idea bill Russell had so little points considering how much he is talked about
He was known as a defender
leads us all to think he was a rebound destroyer.
He only played 13 seasons
Russel was getting 20+ per game, but it was rebounds not points.
😃👍
Uhhh maybe because he had 11 rings nobody else has that many
That moment Lebron passed Kobe in the chart gave me pain knowing Kobe died soon after
And the lakers won that year. almost in honor of Kobe
LeBron James is greater than Bryant by quite a margin.
@@ME-kd1ko No he isn't, and the guy wasn't talking about any GOAT debate, know people now hate Kobe but no need to bring it everywhere he and LeBron are mentioned.
@@principecrociato1085 LeBron James is one of the three greatest players of all time, along with Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Bryant is somewhere between 12 and 15 on the all-time list, which is still outstanding, but nowhere near James (who is still adding to his legacy).
There are so many people who do not grasp the skill level of this man. Kobe should never be compared to the lebron. And y'all over here comparing MJ to Lebron, that has to be the funniest shit I've ever heard. There is no GOAT debate between MJ and Lebron, the only GOAT debate that should be valid is Kobe and MJ.
This aged well
Jordan and Bryant did 30K+ as guards. Mind boggling.
The game shifted towards guards especially during the late 80s and 90s. Thats when superstar treatment started
Not really. They just took way more shots. Not even 50% from the field either.
@@alexmotts Do you expect guards to shoot 50% from the field or do you expect that from your big men, heck, for a long time shooting 50% or more from the field was an anomaly, very few did it. Until recently the league average for big men was below 50%, the game now is much less defensive and pace has definitely increased since Kobe's day.
@@principecrociato1085THEY WERE BALL HOGS. So yea they scored alot
@@principecrociato1085then use true shooting percentage, Kobe is still inefficient as fuck, he is overrated like crazy
And before you ask anything, the current leader in Lakers all time true shooting percentage is a guard, called Austin reeves
The background music sounds like ph intro
Did y’all know who Alex English was before this? He was up there for a while in the 2000s
Bird's injuries cut his career too short. Carmelo Anthony benefited from a 2nd NBA run (maybe the only person on the list other than Jordan to do that)
5:50 i dont like basketball but im watching. From my brothers computer
Shout out to Fulks.
Hopefully you make an updated graph when LeBron passes Kareem in a couple weeks. He's just 178 points away currently. Amazing we'll get to witness a once deemed "untouchable" record that's been held for 39 years be broken. He'll finish with over 40K points and then it'll REALLY be UNTOUCHABLE. #LongLiveTheKing
Yeah, until some little white kid from Ohio beats in in like 2060
God save the king!!!
Until it comes someone and breaks it
@@alvaro6854 No one will break it in our lifetimes. This is gonna be one of those unbreakable records for like 100 years, especially if Bron continues playing and passes 40K.
@@supdall345 if the defense keeps getting softer and the offense becomes more unstoppable we could definitely see it in our lifetimes
And now lebron has is the nba top scorer of all time
Wich makes him the second best scorer in the world
Recordemos que el Señor Michael Jordan tuvo que dejar la NBA por el asesinato a su padre, este tío es tan GOAT que fue capaz de volver y ganar otra vez 3 anillos más, luego los haters de Jordan fieles a LeBron se dedica a decir que Jordan no fue constante como LeBron, pero cuando hacen esa crítica nunca se acuerdan o no saben, cual fue el echo que hizo a Jordan abandonar la NBA
Dejen de comparar y disfruten a los dos. Porque algún día harán falta
Recuerda que los anillos no se ganan solos, si es el G.O.A.T es porque tus abuelos, padres y círculo social te dijeron que él era el G.O.A.T, incluso la NBA te dijo que el era el G.O.A.T, y si, él fue impresionante en su época, pero sí dejamos los anillos a parte, no hay en la historia de la NBA un jugador más completo que el rey, L.J….
En pocas palabras.
@@victord.alvarez5912 jajajaja acuéstate anda y ahora dilo sin llorar
I doubt his father would have wanted mj to go bail and quit in his team to play baseball for two years but who knows
Nique being on the list at the end, and top 10 on the list in the 90s, and not making the nba's top 50 all time players was a joke.
Had no idea
Patrick Ewing is Jamaican 😊
List turned from a council to a cookout😂
Mikan just flew up huh for a lil bit
Me patiently waiting for wilt chamberlain😂
Wilt played 13 seasons let that sink in
What's crazy is Kareem shot 1s and 2s bruh
Tf you mean 1s do you mean free throws cuz lebron def shoots those
In those days they still play Center
If it was like the 70s if someone scored 15,000 points from their entire career, they would be shocked
Update it now
Always thought Kobe would still be playing until age 40 or 41 feel like he coulda kept going if they managed his minutes a bit better.
This was like 100 years ago
👑
Bah gawd is that Wilt Chamberlain's music?
lebron has the record now 😎
I know
update this now bro
Lo de Wilt es una locura 😅
Chamberlain got in there and ate em up like Pac Man
Kobe ❤😇
As soon as BRON'S NAME appeared, he just climbed up like a rocket 😂😂😂😅😅😅
It takes like 20 years to reach both LBJ and KAJ the 38k point mark. LBJ could reach the 40k point mark.
You probably need to start really early on NBA and stay on winning (more playoffs = more games = more chance for points for like every year)
It’s only regular season points
Not too sure how accurate this is seeing as the guy who only averaged 10 points was on the list
What?
In 1946? 🤔
It’s crazy to think that right no Lebrun is number 1
Cant be the only one waiting for Wilt to come in like a freight train
wonder if any aba/nba players would have made the list at anytime.. such as DR. J
Dominique Wilkins is born in Paris but he is not french...
Questão de tempo, até o maior assumir a ponta.
Who is this from?
lol the game has changed since it started
We got prime boys we got prime
People who have held the title of most points in nba history:
joe fulks
george mikan
ed macauley
dolph schayes
bob pettit
wilt chamberlain
kareem abdul jabbar
lebron james
Wilt was a cheat code. Dude literally blew past everyone
karl malone could have surpassed Kareem if he really wanted
Seeing Kobe stop really hurt 😢😢😢
Where is my Scottie Pippen? Oh under 20k point but still a legend.
LeBron has now passed Kareem
I will give LeBron credit for this accomplishment. It is impressive. KAJ still to me more impressive as he only has 1 three point shot.
THE STUPIDITY IS MIND BLOWING KAREEM A CENTER LEBRON A SF. OF COURSE KAREEM NOT SHOOTING A 3. LEBRON SURPASS HIM IS MORE IMPRESSIVE.
Kareem has still had a better overall career in my opinion.
Little error : Do Wilkins is born in France but he is US Citizen and played for US national team… -> no French flag.
Dominique Wilkins is not French. His dad was an army officer and the family was stationed in France. That doesn't make him French.
Also, Patrick Ewing and Hakeem Olajuwon were originally Jamaican 🇯🇲 and Nigerian 🇳🇬, respectively.
But they've both since become *naturalized* . 🇺🇸
No matter who much totally points have Jabarr but the quality of playning in all carrer someone and im sure that Michael Jordan was the best legendary player in NBA history and Dominique Wilkins the best in drunk slams in periods 1984 - 1994
If Kobe didn’t have that Achilles tear he would have been pretty close to Kareem
Durant would too
Dominique Wilkins was born in France but is definitely a US player ... And citizen.
