“Unveiling the Scoring Legends: Who Holds the Crown for Most Career Points in NBA History?”
Durant only passed 1,000 career regular-season games in November 2023, and has time to work his way up this list before he hangs it up. He passed 30,000 points in the Suns’ defeat to the Grizzlies in February 2025.
9. Shaquille O’Neal – 28,596 points
Now a much-beloved basketball analyst, O’Neal had quite the career beforehand. He represented six teams during a 19-year tenure in the NBA, where he won four NBA championships, three NBA Finals MVP awards and an NBA MVP award.
Shaq started his career with four years at the Orlando Magic, before eight with the Lakers. Three and a half years with the Miami Heat were followed by short spells with the Phoenix Suns, the Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics before his eventual retirement in 2011. His 1,207 overall games saw him average 23.7 PPG.
