Legends that stat-padded at the end of their career.

[StrongLurk]

MJ: 2001-2003, 142 games, 21/6/4 on low efficiency. Should've not come back after 98 ring, still GOAT tho.
Kobe: 2014-2016, 107 games, 19/4/4 on uber-low efficiency
Hakeem: 1999-2002, 163 games, 10/7/1...yikes
Shaq: 2009-2011, 90 games, 11/6/1
Duncan: 2014-2016, 138 games, 12/8/3
Kareem: 88-89 season, 74 games, 10/5/1...only one season
Wilt: 72-73 season, 82 games, 13/19/5
Magic: 95-96 season, 32 games, 15/6/7...honestly hard to put here since his career was unfairly cut short and his 96 season stint was short.

And honestly some of these guys could have more seasons of "statpadding" included but they were on elite teams to help carry them (namely Kareem, Duncan, Wilt), so I left those off...but that could still be interpreted differently. But yeah, Hakeem, Shaq, and Kobe stand out the most as doing the worst statpadding.

You forgot Lebron this year.

80% of his points came from garbage time and 1-3 quarter.

When game is close or tight. Lebron no where to be found or too busy bricking 0-10fg

[Nowoco]

I don't think you know what stat padding means.

LOL at the super genius who needed to tell the board that players normally score more combined points the first 3 quarters than they do the 4th.

Nah, I know what it means. The seasons I listed are players who should've been long retired and kept playing to pad their "stats".

[PeroAntic]

For shaq, Duncan, Kareem and even MJ it was ring chasing more than stat padding.

Are you Magic Johnson?

In Wilt's last season he was averaging 13/19/4/5 on 73% and was also first in RPG and FG% along with shot-blocking.



And he also finished 4th in MVP voting that year on 60 win team that went to the finals.


To say he was stat padding is just ignorant.

They might have hung on a bit longer then they should have but I would hardly call it stat padding as they took a knock in their per game averages. Unless your saying they just played to get totals up which I can't agree with u on that one

This just in, player scores less in the final 5 minutes (general clutch time) than the rest of the game, who'd have thought it

[nayte]

Been a bit space jam. U still up in brissy.unless I remembered wrong

Don't try and deflect from how anti-clutch LeBarry is

Hes provided so many laughs in crunchtime, this season, in particular

[SpaceJam]

What's 'crunchtime' to you? NBA site lists it as last 5 minutes 5 points or less between teams.

21-22 Bron 3.4 ppg 39% I agree definitely less than ideal

96-97 MJ 3.9 ppg 39% .... oh
