Michael Jordan, the league`s leading scorer with a 32.2 points per game average, needs 35 points to reach the 20 000 mark when the Bulls battle the Milwaukee Bucks,jan of 1993.
He doesn`t disappoint as He scores 35 pionts midway through the 4th Q to the delight of Chicago Stadium fans.
Jordan, who reached the milestone in 620 games, fell well short of Wilt`s feat of reaching 20 000 points in 499 games." It looks like I fell short of Chamberlain again, which is a privilage "
@frusionnn If he hadn't hurt his foot in 85/86, he still would have had to play those games he was scoring the points in. So his game total would be relatively the same. A handful of games fewer.

@bluestang302 well, what I meant by earlier was in fewer games. So I am not too sure on what you're referring to by not in fewer games.

@frusionnn No, he would have gotten it earlier chronologically but not in fewer games.

Bill Russell's career free throw shooting % in the playoffs was higher than his regular season playoff free throw shooting %. Shaq and Wilt's career free throw shooting % in the playoffs was less than their regular season free throw shooting %.
The Finals Most Valuable Player Trophy is named the Bill Russell NBA Finals MVP trophy..
Bill Russell 11 rings in 13 seasons as a player 2 championships as player coach in 3 of the seasons he was the Celtics player coach.

@geocgeo Are you fucking retarded? If Wilt cared about his points why would he intentionally miss free throws? Did you forget that if you make a free throw you get points?

don't forget people, MJ missed 64 games in the 1985-86 season. or else he wouldv'e had 20,000 pts at LEAST 40 games quicker if not faster.

@waff1eirontmacsplat I love it...Wilt's number 1 priority POINTS that HE scored and not the team winning...To prove it Wilt sucked at Free throw shooting but in the game he scored 100 points he all of a sudden shot 28 of 32 from the free throww line in that game...Wilt .511 free throw percentage for his career shooting 28 for 32 what a coincidence....

@jongib369 what in the fuck don't you get about that? Jordan was never asked too stop shooting because, his teams had no chance too win unless he scored points. Too prove that this was the right move by his coaches. Jordan accumulated six scoring titles to go along with six championships... No one in NBA history has won as many scoring titles and championships in the same year as Jordan you lose.

@jongib369 He cannot fuck around in the playoffs where real men show what they’re made of. How many shots did Jordan take? Lmfao, Kareem Abdul jabbar and Karl Malone both have more attempts than Jordan, you fuckin idiot. Wilt chamberlain actually made more shots than Jordan and, Jordan still outscored all of them with ease. Wilt was asked too stop shooting because, his shooting wasn't producing championships and wins for his team.
