Not sure anyone at least the way nba is currently played will come close to top 5 in points. Load management players wont have enough games. And i wouldnt be surprised to see players not playing as many seasons in future just because they are making so much now.
@@valor144 Jordan is barely in 5th place because he gamba'd his career away...I doubt he would've passed Karl Malone. His style of sheer athletic scoring was unsustainable as he got older.
@@cavemantero I disagree here. Before MJ stopped for the first time he was averaging more than 30 ppg playing almost all games. Just these 2 years alone are almost 5000 points. added to his total thats 37000 points already. Now imagine he never stopped for the 2nd time either. I 'm not saying he would be the same player after 98 but he could easily get another 2-3k points in 3-4 years
it was custom for players, like Bird and Magic, Karl Malone, Ewing, Stockton, AC green, Jordan, to play 82 games or to attempt to be healthy for each game. Nowadays the stars are playing 55-75 games for whatever reason, and no it's no because the game is more phisical and causing more injuries
KD should do it. In 4 years he can easily do it. He has to play till 39 though. Westbrook and Harden probably can't. They have declined and need 7500 points.
En los próximos 7 partidos, a una media de 20 y pico, LeBron "JAMES", superará la barrera de los ¡40.000! en Temporada Regular. Actualmente, sé encuentra a tan sólo 132 para alcanzarla.

Don't forget 2 season out due to injury as-well, so 13 overall seasons, he also started at 21, imagine if he started at 19-20 and played 20 full seasons without injury. His numbers would be insane.
@@jasse85I mean if we go by this logic of being able to erase injuries and start guys in the NBA earlier then look at Wilt. Could've also started 3 years earlier between his time with Kansas and the Globetrotters and probably would've put up 30+ PPG which adds up to over 7K points. And then if he never got injured in '70 he'd have another season averaging at least 20 ppg which is another 1.5K points. The injury definitely took a toll on him too since medical tech, sports medicine/training/conditioning and rehab protocols were no where near as good so he probably could've actually played a extra season or two even at just 15 ppg that's another 2.5K. And if we really wanna go all in in this "what if" we can also say that Wilt didn't intentionally change his playstyle to focus less on scoring and more on a conducive winning team oriented style during his Philly/LA years then he'd still probably would've averaged 25-30 ppg over those last 7 years instead of 20 ppg which adds another 3-6K points. So that would put his somewhere in the ball park of 45K points.
This list ended in 2004 when the defense was outlawed. Any record after is a different game. If you give % of 3 points that are not attributed to Kareem and Wilt and Moses then what? This really doesn't work. There are multiple eras of basketball with rules so different they are uncomparable as games.
He’s good, but Jordan is definitely better. Lebron only has 2 seasons worth of averaging 30 pints per game, while in a low offensive era Jordan still managed to get 7 straight seasons of averaging over 30 pints per game and averaged well over 2.5 steals per game during that time. Plus Lebron is the All Time leader in turnovers.
Yeah, Jordan retired twice and played in a much lower scoring era compared to today's game. Before his knee injury, Jordan was putting up the same numbers at 39 as Lebron is today (PPG), yet a much lower scoring season than today. That's why Lebron fanboys will only compare players to Lebron in their 21st season and not at "age 39".
@@Paulafan5Not going to get into this who's better all time but most of your arguments here are just false. Before his knee injury at 38, Jordan was averaging 25-6-5 on -3% rTS and at 39 he averaged 20-6-4 on -2% rTS. LeBron at 38 averaged 29-8-7 on +1% rTS with a foot injury throughout the year that needed surgery and at 39 is averaging 26-7-8 on +5% rTS. So pretty significant difference when you take into relative efficiency, the fact his stats overall are better, and that the Lakers are an actual playoff team that just made the WCF whereas the Wizards were dookie with and without Jordan putting up mostly empty numbers. Also I think people forget Bron came into the league during the slowest pace, lowest scoring era, defensive oriented era in bastkeball in the early to mid 00s and because of this the league average in PPG from 2004-2024 is about 103.3 compared to during Jordan's career 1984-1999, 2001-2003 at 103.5.
@@Nyfancam01 Out of 32 current and future HOF forwards, Malone is tied for 8th place all-time in avg. points generated (scoring + assists) per 36 minutes played. He's also tied for 8th all-time in avg. rebounds per 36/min played. Not trash at all.
I love when Jordan worshippers give their daddy extra credit for quitting the sport multiple times. Also he came back in ‘95, got MVP votes, and lost in the 2nd rnd. So no, he didn’t quit for 2 years.

It shows how good and proficient Wilt and Oscar was that they have remained among the top for over 50 years! 👍🏾
both of them were not good at basketball
@@rambosnzwilt has 72 records most rebounds in a career highest dcoring season and also he the reason goal tending was made
Wilt is good
Kareem has made more baskets than anyone in history but the introduction of the 3 point shot into the NBA changed the points accumulation.
I like watching these. Remembering the legends. Subtracted the 3 point amounts. Interesting.
Remember the eras too. Late 90s were very low scoring (often BOTH teams scored less than 90) yet Malone and Jordan put up big numbers.
Not sure anyone at least the way nba is currently played will come close to top 5 in points. Load management players wont have enough games. And i wouldnt be surprised to see players not playing as many seasons in future just because they are making so much now.
I d agree , it d take another ironman like Lebron or an unbelievable scorer like MJ

Nothing you say can remove Lebron James from the top of this list lol.
Bron still better 😢
@@lessnerjNo he’s not even close
Start before that like at 0. Thanks
Didn’t really know Kareem Abdul was that prolific. His name doesn’t get mentioned as much as Jordan, James, or Kobe
yea it does
casual
it doesn't because all he did was the sky hook...it was boring and predictable but it was unstoppable.

records are made to be broken
Before zone defense wasn’t allowed. You don’t know basketball just keep your mouth shut.
KD will be top 5 if healthy for sure 10 easy
"If healthy." Good luck with that.
It's Leshean Brames
only 13 comments???
dirk the only non-american in the top 10
Very few international players until more recently.
And Hakeem Olajuwon
@@samuelakebre3 nope only Dirk.
Hakeem is 12th, great player though
Yes U right 😂 sorry
LeBron James rules
It's a testament to both his skill and his longevity. Durant, Doncic, Magic, Curry, and Jordan all averaged more points per 36 minutes played.

imagine if jordan didn't quit for 2 years and then quit again, he would have easily break the 40k points
The breaks also allowed his body to get back to 100%. Idk bout easily

stop it. MJ barely got to know his teammates. He only played 17 games at the end of the season, and was 13-4.
lol no he wouldn't have
It was that rest that gave him longevity, God knows if he kept playing if a injury would had crept in.
