NBA All Time Points Leaders and Their Regular Season and Playoffs Stats

#7 Dirk Nowitzki

Dallas Mavericks v Indiana Pacers

Regular season points tally: 31187

Playoff points tally: 3663

Everyone's favorite European basketball player, Nowitzki is universally recognized as one of the greatest shooters of all time. The fact that he possessed such a well-rounded offensive game at his peak, complete with slick handles, ball fakes, and an explosive first step, is often overlooked when we talk about his career because by the time he won his first and only championship, he was on the latter half of his basketball prime.

The 2006-07 NBA MVP is one of only seven players to average 50/40/90 shooting splits in NBA history, and he helped the Mavericks become relevant in the Western Conference playoff picture for the first time in franchise history. No man is as reminiscent of a single-franchise player as the 41-year-old, who still has the opportunity to end up 6th, maybe even 5th on this list with all said and done.

His one-legged fadeaway jumper will remain forever one of the most stylish shots in the history of the game.
