This makes me realize how much of a phenomena lebron is
Karl getting majority of his scoring after his “prime” towards the end of his career is legitimate insane when you think about it.
He didn’t really take off until 29 – 30 years old.
No disrespect but the fact that Dirk scored more point that KD just feel a tiny bit odd.
i did enjoy the bit of it where it looked sort of like it was a two man race with him and Kobe. unfortunately, you can tell when the Achilles snapped.
fun graph to watch. also wonder how some of the players would have done if they started after high school.
That’s what happened when you never get a serious injured
Is it weird to think that barring any set backs KD would have had a fair chance of surpassing LeBron?
Wonder where kobe would end up if he didnt have achilles injury.
Anything Edwards just drops off at age 23 and 7000 points. Lol
r/dataisbeautiful
Anyone notice booker casually keeping pace to be a top 10 scorer all time
KD was catching up before he got injured
LeBron is truly insane
Lukas actually quite close. When this stopped counting Lukas points, he was 1500 away, and he has played one less season.
KD set off too fast, caught a cramp and had to ease up
If I was Kevin Knox I would screenshot the first couple seconds of this and save it forever
Kevin Durant hurts his chance of catching to Lebron. In 2015 and 2020 he missed two seasons, then barely played in 2021 and 2022. Those 3 years with Golden State did not needed his scoring ability that much so it drop a bit. I once thought he would be the one to break the scoring record not LBJ
lol Jordan did 3(?) years of college and took two years off in there. In his prime.
I wonder what Ant ends his career with. Especially now that his 3ball is where it’s at.
Hard to measure out where the active player will land baring any setbacks, but it looks like KD should finish top 2. Luka has a punchers chance of finishing in the top 5 if he stays healthy. Book top 10 if he can do it long enough. Any other current players that flash across that list that I’m missing?
Weird way of saying someone didn’t go to college
I hope Lebron goes to 45 years old Or 50k points
The crazy thing as well is Kobe”s injuries, cost him at least 3 seasons
MJ bum 🤣
Melo’s one is insane considering the injuries he incurred in 2015 and his transition to role player after 2017 and whatever out of league situation that had occured. About 3 seasons of scoring almost loss smh.
He could had got some nice amount of points in! Just sucks That occured to him.
3 things 1. Really funny watching MJ jump and down for obvious reasons really insane how fast he climbs up dude was a scoring monster 2. Really shows how much less or no college helps here 3. Tim Ducan casually sliding in at the end lol
Damn seeing Kobe stop and drop instantly was rough
If LeBron didn’t exist would we be debating if Kevin Durant is the best ever vs Micheal Jordan?
How quickly MJ shot up the chart while not getting to the NBA until age 21 just shows how insane of a scorer he really was.
Love this graph. Can you do one with three pointers? Genuinely curious how curry’s pace compared with others
The fact that Wilt started at 23 and legit catches Kobe and LeBron that started at 18, by age 30, is fucking incredible. Overall GOAT and GOAT Scorer.
thanks for this enjoyed it!
Maybe Luka has a shot? If not hin i don’t see who else yet
He’s got no excuse not getting 6 championships with all those points and time.
