As the player with the most points in the active roster, James entered the 30,000-point club as early as the 2017-2018 season, but apparently there are still a few superstars of his level in history, and since the establishment of the NBA, except for James, there are only six players in history who have scored more than 30,000 points in the regular season. Stars such as O'Neal and Anthony have not been able to achieve this achievement, so it is enough to explain how difficult it is.

If you want to score 30,000 points, not only your personal ability at your peak should be outstanding, but the length of your career is also quite critical. So among the active stars, who other players besides James have a chance to score 30,000 points? The next 5 people to be counted, they are all possible, but the difficulty of each of them to achieve 30,000 points is also very different.

5. Doncic (11470 points)

This season, he averaged 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game

As a leader in the younger generation, Doncic has been the best in his age group since he entered the league, averaging 21.2 points per game in his rookie season, and then Doncic has become the league's No. 1 scorer in terms of individual offense. Doncic exploded last season, averaging 32.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 8 assists per game, which was also the first season of his career averaging 30+ per game.

Doncic has improved on scoring this season, winning the scoring title at the end of the regular season and crossing the 10,000-point mark in the middle of the season. Doncic is only 25 years old, and he's not even really at his peak, and at his current scoring pace, it won't be long before he breaks the 20,000-point mark. The most important thing is that Doncic's style of play is relatively non-harmful, and if he loses weight later, the probability of injury will be even smaller, so on the whole, he is definitely the most promising among young players.

4. Brother Alphabet (18502 points)

This season, he averaged 30.4 points, 11.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game

When he entered the league, he was just an average role player, averaging just 16.9 points per game in his third NBA season. However, with the help of Kidd, Brother Alphabet gradually found the most suitable style of play for himself, and his talent finally began to emerge, so since the 2017-2018 season, Brother Alphabet has gradually become one of the best players in the league, and in the 2018-2019 season, he was also elected MVP with an average of 27+12+5 per game.

His stats have been steadily improving, and that was despite Budden's extremely cautious use of him during the regular season, when he averaged 31.1 points in 32.1 minutes per game last year. Due to the arrival of Lillard this season, Brother Alphabet has divided a lot of balls, but an average of 30+ per game is still simple for him, with his current age and physical fitness, his strength will probably not decline in the next 3-5 years, so 30,000 points is not far away for him.

3. Wei Shao (25211 points)

This season, he averaged 11.1 points, 5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game

Today's Wei Shao has slipped too much compared to his peak, whether it is projection or breakthrough, his scoring threat is far less than it was back then. In addition, this season, Wei Shao is playing for a multi-giant championship team like the Clippers, so he can only make sacrifices, and he can only do some dirty work on the court many times. But in fact, although Wei Shao's peak strength is no longer there, the camel is bigger than the horse, as long as he is given the ball, he can still play good-looking statistics.

If Wei Shao is willing to join a team that is not so strong, or even the bottom level next season, then he still has a chance to hit 30,000 points, after all, in these types of teams, they don't pay attention to the record, and Wei Shao is still a star after all, if he can play, then for the team, they can at least sell more votes. However, Wei Shao is indeed the least promising on this list, and he really wants to compete for the championship now, so it is very likely that he will stay with the Clippers next season.

2. Harden (25885 points)

This season, he averaged 24.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game

As a three-time scoring champion, Harden at his peak was definitely one of the best stars in the league in terms of personal offense, and it can be said that he was playing 30+ more and more worthless at that time. But as he got older and later injuries, Harden couldn't continue his hot form all the time, and his average points per game fell again and again, and this season it dropped to only 16.6 points per game.

However, Harden's performance in this year's playoffs has given fans a chance that he is expected to enter the 30,000-point club, and in the face of high-intensity defense, Harden can still score 21.2 points per game, which shows that he still has the strength. If Harden can maintain the ball in the playoffs in the future, it should not be difficult for him to maintain an average of 20 points per game for at least two more seasons, and then play a casual dozen, even if he retires at the age of 38, it is enough time to hit 30,000 points.

1. Durant (28924 points)

This season, he averaged 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 5 assists per game

Unlike other players, Durant's 30,000 points is already a certainty, he is now 1,076 points short, and according to Durant's total 2,032 points in the regular season this season, he will become the 8th Mr. 30,000 points in history by playing half next season. In fact, with Durant's strength, he should have broken through 30,000 points a long time ago, and if he hadn't suffered a major injury like an Achilles tendon rupture, he would have achieved this achievement even last season.

However, for the 35-year-old Durant, 30,000 points is not the end of his NBA career, and judging from his form, he can play at least three more seasons in the league in the future as long as he wants, and his total scoring goal can be towards 35,000 points by then. And Durant's character, he has expressed many times that he really loves basketball, if his body allows, it is not impossible for him to play more than 20 seasons like James, and then he may directly surpass Karl Malone, who is third in history.
