In today's league, the players who can be called super scorers are probably James, Durant and Harden. Durant and Harden needless to say, one got 4 scoring champions and the other got 3 scoring champions.
As for James, although he has only one scoring champion, his average points per game in the regular season and playoffs are ranked in the top five in history, and the total points in the regular season and playoffs are also in the top five in history, so there is no doubt Is a super scorer.
In addition, Curry, Westbrook and Anthony are also very good scorers, because they have won the scoring champion. Of course, Anthony has entered the end of their careers, and Curry and Westbrook are about to come out of their peak careers, and their scoring ability is no longer at the beginning.
The scoring ability of James and Durant has also declined with age, and Durant has also been affected by injuries. Only Harden has become the scoring leader for three consecutive years. His current scoring ability is still at its peak, and he may continue to be the scoring leader.
Judging from the total career scores, James has already reached the 30,000-point milestone and became a member of the 30,000-point club. After last season, James has scored more than 34,000 points, surpassing Jordan and Kobe, and is currently ranked third in history, second only to Karl Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
In addition to James, there are several players in active service who are expected to reach the 30,000 points milestone, mainly the Thunder and Anthony. Among the four high scorers, Anthony is the closest to 30,000 points, and he has already scored more than 26,000 points. However, because Anthony is 36 years old, his scoring ability and tactical status have declined a lot, so it is unlikely that he will become a Mr. 30,000 points.
As for the Thunder's three minors, they have already scored more than 20,000 points, Durant is the highest, close to 23,000 points, many Harden close to 21,000 points, Westbrook just over 20,000 points. Although Durant currently has the highest total scoring performance, considering Harden's scoring performance in the last three seasons, he has the highest probability of reaching the 30,000 points milestone among the Thunder's three minors, followed by Durant, and then Westbrook.
Of course, all three of them may become 30,000 points gentlemen, so there will be just 10 30,000 points gentlemen in the NBA. However, all three of them may not get 30,000 points because they are all in their 30s. If they retired too early or suffered injuries, it would be very difficult to get 30,000 points.
In contrast, James has become the historical scoring leader, and the probability of getting 40,000 points may be even greater than the probability of becoming a Mr. 30,000 points. James is currently less than 6,000 points away from the 40,000 points milestone, which is smaller than the gap between the Thunder's current career points and 30,000 points. The most important thing about
is that James still averaged more than 25 points per game last season. He has averaged more than 25 points per game for 16 consecutive seasons. If this level can be maintained while ensuring the number of games played, James can score 40,000 points in the next three seasons, up to four seasons.
and give the Thunder three less four seasons, they will not necessarily get more than 30,000 points, unless each season can exceed 2,000 points, but this is obviously very difficult, I am afraid that only Harden can do it. And after four seasons, the Thunder's three juniors are almost at the age to retire.
Of course, it is not easy to say whether James can play for another four seasons. After four years, he will be 40 years old. But as long as James is willing, he will be fine to reach 40. And compared with the Thunder Third Master, James's physical fitness is obviously better, and there are fewer injury risks. Therefore, James may be the first to become the first 40,000 points gentleman before the Thunder Third Master becomes the 30,000 points.
