Two names stand out to me, Dirk at #6 on the season list and Tony Parker at #9 on the playoff. Mainly because neither are considered as great as the players surrounding them on those lists, especially TP.

Didn't realize Durant was up to #10 on the playoff already, and had he played this season and did his usual 28 a game he would have jumped several places. A somewhat healthy season of 70 plus games and he's probably bumping Ewing at #23.

Considering Malone's at 2 I'm really not that shocked to see Dirk in that range. Parker in the top 10 for playoff scoring definitely sticks out a lot more :lol He's significantly worse than everyone else in the top 15

It does highlight how special a player Dirk was. Not on the level of those immediately above or below him, but gives added perspective to his career. Once you get past the absolute GOAT elites, he's right there on that next tier IMO.

As for Parker, he may actually be the worst player on the playoff list, or near the bottom in any case.

Wait how does LeBron have 1,000 more points than #2 when they both made 13 playoffs?

Let's do some research. . .

Wait, why did MJ lose in the 1st round three times and only make 6 Finals? Is that why he has less points. . .

I see

LeBron gonna finish with the most points scored in NBA history and with a top 5 most assists ever.:pimp:

Imagine if LeHumble was selfish and only focused on scoring and nothing else. Dude would be averaging near 40 points.

MJ averaged 6 apg and matched Lebron in assists thru his first 3-peat.. he led the bulls in assists for 6 of 9 playoff runs alongside pip

overall, MJ averaged nearly the same assists as LeBron despite less ball-domination, and WAY more ppg

[FireDavidKahn]

5.3 is nearly the same as 7.4?:roll:

[3ball]

5.3 is nearly the same as 7.4?:roll:
7.4 is complete garbage for a PG, let alone the the biggest ball-dominator in the history of the game.. 5.3 is far more impressive given the lack of ball-domination or PG play

And in the playoffs, MJ averaged 6 apg and matched Lebron in assists thru his first 3-peat.. he led the bulls in assists for 6 of 9 playoff runs alongside pip

overall, MJ averaged nearly the same assists as LeBron despite less ball-domination, and WAY more ppg

[tpols]

the most surprising thing off the regular season list:

Alex English > Jerry West, Allen Iverson, Charles Barkley, Dwayne Wade

the most surprising thing off the playoff list:

Tony Parker a top 10 all time scorer. considering eye test, he had GOAT skill... guy had absolutely no physical presence but just tricked dudes for days.

Parker is also #6 in all time playoff game appearances, which explains why he's higher on the scoring list than you might otherwise expect. Duncan is #2 on that list. Manu is # 8.

1. Derek Fisher 259
2. Tim Duncan 251
3. Robert Horry 244
4. LeBron James 239
5. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar* 237
