Happy for Melo, sad that Pierce will be knocked out of the top 15. Both incredible careers

 

[4the Dubbz]

Pisses me off that he was black balled for an entire year. He'd be in or closing in on top 10.

 

[Gabjon]

If he plays two more years he could catch Shaq

 

[Eric15]

Moses Malone and Elvin Hayes don't get enough credit when discussing historically great players.

Damn Karl Malone was a monster. Easy to forget him since he played in Utah almost his entire career.

 

[DonLightfoot]

Keep rocking Melo.
Am I correct in assuming that the names with an (*) are Hall of Famers?

 

[tbonezone]

looking at the top 15. are karl malone and dominique the only players to not win a championship ?

 

[Fat tire 13]

Who do you think has the best chance to surpass Kareem?

Lebron, after his play this year, looks very likely. I used to think Durant would end up with the most all time. With his height he could be draining 3s and putting up points until he is 40. It is still possible, but need to see how he comes back from that injury.

If he can come back next year and play most of the games with similar production, he’ll crack the top 10! Crazy.

If that BS didn’t happen last year he’d already be there.

Orange bumped him out of the ‘96 tourney, and Orange will bump him out of the top 15.

I would very surprised if Lebron doesn't pass Kareem in about 3 years. Right now he's exactly 4800 points back. 4800 divided by 20 points per game (low estimate) is 215 games.

Lebron is probably a lock to end up at worst 3rd all-time in assists, as well.

Good to see that Melo is the all time leading NBA scorer from the Big East.

Lawrence Moten also is the all time leading scorer in Big East history. Very appropriate for the best program in the history of the conference.

And no, this new conference that bought the name Big East is not the Big East. It could have, and should be called the Medium Mideast. Hey Val, you can have that name for free, on me.

And leading the NBA is assists this year! He truly does pile up the stats
