#4 Paul Arizin- 16,266 Points
Along with George Mikan and Johnston, Arizin was one of the earliest NBA superstars- one who managed to transform the game with his shooting. After all unlike Mikan and Johnston, Arizin was not a big, he played as a shooting guard or small forward. He had the ability to spot up while also shooting off the dribble.
Arizin only managed nine seasons in the NBA (missing two seasons in his prime due to his participation in the US Marine Corps). However, what a brilliant spell those nine seasons were.

Arizin averaged more than 20 points per game after his rookie year, as he became the first great wing in NBA history, playing for the then Philadelphia Warriors.
In the 1951-52 season, Arizin achieved the seemingly impossible for a wing: he led the league in both scoring and field-goal percentage, a sign of his efficient scoring. One of the true Warrior greats, even if he came before the team’s move to California.
