Top 10 scorers of all-time in NBA Finals

#3 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

One of the greatest big men to ever play the game, Abdul-Jabbar used his patented sky hook to rise all the way to the top of the all-time scoring charts. The skyhook was the go-to move for Jabbar throughout his career and he had perfected it to such an extent that it became unquestionably the single most unstoppable shot in NBA history. While he is remembered for his scoring abilities, Kareem was also an excellent rebounder and shot blocker.

Drafted in 1969 by the expansion team that was the Bucks, Jabbar led the franchise to 2 NBA Finals in their first 5 years in the league. He'd lead both teams in scoring on both occasions, beating the Bullets in 1971 on the way to winning Finals MVP and losing to the Celtics in 1974. A trade to the Lakers followed in 1975 and Magic Johnson's arrival in 1979 led Jabbar back to the Finals. With Magic in tow, Jabbar would reach 8 Finals over the next 10 years, leading the Lakers in scoring 4 times in the Finals and winning 5 championships. He would also become the 1st player to win Finals MVP with two different teams in 1985. Jabbar scored 1317 points in 10 NBA Finals.
