Biggest statpadders in league history?

[dubeta]

Who are the biggest statpadders in league history?

IMO its:

Wilt - self explanatory, dude would play entire games just to run up the score.

Jordan- in his early days was a notorious stat padder, who constantly checked his stats during games. Here is proof

LA Times, April 11, 1989:

Since switching to point guard for the Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan has become statistic conscious. He has started checking with statisticians to see how close he is to a triple-double. He had a string of seven consecutive triple-doubles broken Friday night.

"The guys at the scorer's desk let me know what I need," Jordan said.

So, too, do the Bulls' assistant coaches.

"They keep reminding me when I get back to the huddle," Jordan said. "They say, 'You need three more of this. You need four more of that.'


Kevin Love- Dude gets 25 and 12 with no impact. Heck sometimes he gives up on defense just to get the rebound


James Harden- Dude's freethrow gifts significantly increases his ppg (similar to Durant). Sometimes he will flop just to get an extra 2 points

Honourable mention to Ricky Davis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDtGHHnA9ms

Jordan, Bron, Wilt, almost every single high scorer has statpadded at some point or time

Can't say about league history, since I've only been watching since '94. But Ricky Davis immediately came to mind.
