In the history of the NBA, scoring records have always been the glory of players. Among them, the 30,000-point mark has become an important milestone, symbolizing the outstanding achievements of the players in their careers. However, reaching this height is not an easy task. Because of the more than 70 years of history in the NBA, there are only 7 players who have really completed the feat of 30,000 points, they are Chamberlain, Jordan, Abdul-Jabbar, James, Malone, Kobe and Nowitzki!
Who was the first player in the NBA to score 30,000 points? For this question, many fans may not know, the answer is Chamberlain, the "ancient god", has created many personal records, such as 100 points in a single game, 55 rebounds in a single game, 35 consecutive shots, and an average of 50.4 points per game in the season.
Chamberlain is not only the first player to score 30,000 points, but also the fastest player to get the result, he only took 13 seasons, in exchange for 941 games, each game averaged at least 31.8 points, you know, Chamberlain only played 14 seasons, if according to his scoring ability, if he played 20 seasons, maybe there is a chance to create a miracle of 50,000 points.
After Chamberlain, the second fastest player to score 30,000 points is Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, Jordan's personal honors needless to say, fans are too familiar with Jordan, Jordan is also a famous scoring machine, he is a 10-time career scoring champion, and also holds the record for average points per game in the regular season.
Jordan scored 30,000 points, a total of 14 seasons, 960 games, in fact, if he does not choose to retire for two years, Jordan gets 30,000 points in time, much shorter than Chamberlain, this is not nonsense, because Jordan's retirement two years is his peak, his minimum score every season is nearly 2800 points, two seasons is more than 5600 points, of course, Jordan himself does not care too much about missing this fastest record, After all, he has too many records.
After talking about Chamberlain and Jordan, some fans may ask, how many games did James use to complete 30,000 points? After all, James is the only player in NBA history who has scored 40,000 points, although he is now 39 years old, but his state has not declined significantly, according to James's current state, there is no problem at all in playing 2 or 3 seasons, whether he will create 45,000 points, it is also very promising.
And when James completed 30,000 points, it took a full 15 seasons and 1,107 games, which is longer than Chamberlain and Jordan, James is different from these two scoring "gods", he is a well-rounded player, his scoring ability is not so outstanding, and he has only won the regular season scoring title once in his career, of course, this is compared with Jordan Chamberlain, if compared with other players, James' scoring ability still looks very good, He averaged 27.1 points per game in his career, second only to Durant and even higher than Kobe, who averaged 25.4 points per game.
