O'Neal is recognized as the strongest center, Russell, Chamberlain, Abbad, these are all a little farther. O'Neal is really the strongest center in modern basketball, but he has achieved a three-game championship, which is also dominating the three-second zone. O'Neal couldn't defend himself at the low post, but thankfully he had a poor free throw shooting percentage of just 52.7 percent of his career. It is because of the poor penalty that the "shark cutting" tactic was born, which appeared and curbed O'Neal's scoring to a certain extent.
It is because of the difference in free throws that O'Neal's total score did not break 30,000 points, which is a major regret of his career. So if O'Neal has Yao Ming's free throw shooting rate, he can rank first in the history of total points, and today we have the answer.
Yao Ming's free throw was in the center, and that was really a ceiling. A center performing technical penalties was unimaginable before, and Yao Ming had the ability to do so. Yao Ming's career free throws are 83.3%, which is basically the same level as Joko. If O'Neal had this shooting percentage, the result would have been unimaginable.
O'Neal has made a total of 11,252 free throws in his career, and according to Yao Ming's shooting rate, he can rely on free throws to get 9300 points. According to his free throw shooting rate, he got 5935 goals, and the difference is clear at a glance.
The key is that if O'Neal does not have a free throw board, the "shark cutting tactic" will not be born, and he is even more unscrupulous in scoring on the inside. Then his total score will naturally be higher, and there will be more opponents who will be blown up. Whether you can score or not depends purely on O'Neal personally, and it has little to do with the intensity of defense.
So it seems that O'Neal's own 28596 points, plus the gap of about 3300 points. His total score surpassed Jordan's 322952 points, which is basically a foregone conclusion, and his total score will also enter the top 5 in history.
