The way Michael jordan, then Kobe Bryant, then LeBron James, climbed throughout the list was pretty remarkable.

If only Vince hadn’t decided to retire, he coulda been all time leading scorer just by playing till he was like 80. :(

The most impressive thing about this is that wilt chamberlain got over 30, 000 points without the three point line

[mrhatman]

Defence: exist

Wilt: I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that

[housesports]

Bob Pettit and Dolph Schayes: competing for most career points
Wilt Chamberlain: *_hippity hoppity this is my property_*

What I love is for all of Kareem's accomplishments, he always remained a beautiful human off the court. OG GOAT.

It is eerie watching that final highlight of LeBron James passing Kobe Bryant knowing that Kobe, his daughter, and 7 others would perish in that helicopter crash not even 24 hours afterwards. Wonderful video but it still hurts to know that Bean is not amongst us anymore. RIP.

Shaq: I'm climbing up the rankings!

Kobe: Lol bye

Karl Malone chasing Jordan gives you a sense of how epic those finals were. Jordan's greatest accomplishment was surely handling Stockton and Malone in 6 after they had already taken down: Kobe and Shaq, Duncan and Robinson, and Hakeem, Barkley, Drexler just to get there. 6 of the top 15 scorers of all time that post season. Epic

Insane how Kareem is still the all time scoring leader after nearly 4 decades

[Pedro-ucsw]

7:25 is the moment when MJ took it personally

[JREWATCHERS]

It's just kind of sad to see some of the players just come to a halt, not scoring any more points. and at a point, Kobe was the only active one in the list.

[stivosimz]

Jordan played 3 years in college, missed a full season with a broken foot, missed 2 season playing baseball, missed 3 season before playing with the Wizards because he retired early. Insane he scored that many points.

[mojojoejo]

I love how you timed Kobe passing Jordan in the graphic perfectly with the free throw. Bravo.

OK, ....This was seriously one of the funnest videos I have ever seen! I really liked how the players moved up and down as the years passed, along with all the video footage of the different players. I seriously could have watched a video like this for hours. This was amazing and so well done!!! Thank you to whoever did this!!

[edsevilleja]

Awesome visualization! The work done in this video is so incredible. Not only shows how long the career point leader stays on top, but how fast the successor surpasses the leader. Shows how the history of the game can retire some greats at the blink of an eye. Whoever did this is a genius!

[ellex]

Just lemme say... I freaking love Dirk! Greatest german sportsman ever! Such a brilliant dude! Peace from Germany

[ice_man]

What amazing is Wilt only played 13 seasons compared to Kareem’s 20.
