NBA assist list · With 28289 points · Statistics · He made the three-pointers list. With nothing more to prove in Cleveland, LeBron went to Hollywood and signed with the Los Angeles Lakers. He won his fourth championship in the COVID-19 bubble in honor of the late and great Kobe Bryant. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was selected first overall by the Milwaukee Bucks and was hailed as the savior of the city.
He gave Milwaukee a ring in 1971 with Oscar Robertson. After the events, he went to Los Angeles and was part of the Showtime Lakers (Magic Johnson, James Worthy and Michael Cooper). In total, he won six MVPs, six championships and reached 19 All-Star Games, an NBA record. He was famous for his shot with Skyhook.
Kobe Bryant wanted to be the best. He modeled his game after Michael Jordan and tried to imitate him every step of the way. Whether because of their identical score or their competitive mentality, Kobe and Michael Jordan were very similar players. Kobe managed to be his idol by winning five championships, 18 All-Stars, two scoring titles and the Slam Dunk Contest.
He also scored 81 points in a game and 60 points in his last game. He became the best Laker of all time. Shaq, one of the most entertaining players to ever walk on the wooden floor, was simply the man. At a height of 7 feet 1 and 325 pounds, it was an unstoppable force in the painting.
He also broke the board on multiple occasions. Duncan, the best power forward in history, played his entire career with the Spurs. He was selected first overall in 1997 from Wake Forest and was the missing piece of the puzzle that made the Spurs the best team in the West in the last 20 years. In total, he won five championships with Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili.
Duncan also won two MVPs, 15 All-Stars and Rookie of the Year. It was nicknamed the Great Fundamental because it stuck to the basics and kept the game simple. Towards the end of his career, he became a great role-playing player and was respected by younger players who idolized him when they were young. He played a record 22 seasons in the NBA.
It's a shame that Carter was never able to win a ring. Miller was a prolific shooter in his time. Basketball in the 90s was all about toughness, but Miller earned a place with his scores. He is a member of the 50-40-90 Club and was a five-time All-Star.
He played his entire career with the Indiana Pacers. He was as strong as he seems and his feud with New York Knicks superfan Spike Lee was incredible. He led the Pacers to the final in 2000 and failed to win against the Shaq-Kobe Lakers. Miller is the leader of the Pacers in points scored and games played.
West was such a good scorer that they made him the logo of the NBA. He was the quintessential bodyguard of his time. He won the scoring title in 1970 and won the MVP of the final in 1969, even though his team lost. This was the first and only time that a player from the losing team won the MVP of the final.
West has a 1-8 record in the final. In 1972, he crossed the mountain and won everything with Wilt Chamberlain and the Lakers. The 39-year-old scored 15,251 points in his first season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, before adding 7,919 with the Miami Heat in his four years there. After his return to Cleveland, he was followed by another 7,868, and he adds up to 9,436 and counting with Los Angeles Lakers.
James is also nearing 1500 regular season games, has more than 11,000 assists (far more than any other member of this list (fourth all-time), and has yet to indicate that his retirement is on the immediate horizon.

The Utah Jazz legend and 14-time NBA All-Star didn't win any championships, but it wasn't for lack of points.
During 18 years in Utah, Malone won two NBA MVP awards, which probably made several teams regret allowing the Jazzs to choose him 13th in the NBA Draft 1985 NBA. Jordan played 1072 regular season games in his career, at least 274 games fewer than any of the four players to score the most points in his career. O'Neal, who is now a well-liked basketball analyst, already had a great career beforehand. He represented six teams for 19 years in the NBA, where he won four NBA championships, three NBA Finals MVP awards and an NBA MVP award.
Like Shaq, Melo was another player who spent his career with six teams. Anthony could never win an NBA championship, but he was a 10-time NBA All-Star. Anthony finished his career with an average of 22.5 points in PPG in a total of 1260 games in the NBA season. The man has so many individual records in the NBA that it's almost unsettling to see him fall into seventh place on this list.
In an incredible career that included six NBA championships, six NBA MVP awards and five NBA Finals MVP awards, Jordan is famous for playing most of his career with the Chicago Bulls before playing for two years with the Washington Wizards after a brief comeback. He ended his career as a solid role-playing player with Portland and Los Angeles after being one of the best goal scorers in the league for more than a decade. Like Malone, he finished his career with a healthy average of 25 points per game, but he also won five NBA championships, an NBA MVP award and two NBA Finals MVP awards. That season, he won the Defensive Player of the Year award and guided the Celtics to another NBA championship.
After a 19-year career with the Utah Jazz, John Stockton holds the all-time record for the most assists in the NBA. This statistic only shows points scored in NBA regular season games and doesn't take into account the playoffs. He was selected by the Denver Nuggets and is part of the 2003 NBA Draft, which also included LeBron, Wade and Bosh. James, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's previous record in February.
During his time with the Jazz, Stockton made a total of 15,806 assists and was a 10-time All-Star, however, he never won a championship in the NBA. James has been equally dominant off the court, being the highest-paid player in the NBA, with total earnings close to 120 million U.
