21 guys (3 get in because of their ABA stats)
21. Robert Parish -- 40,229 total points plus rebounds plus assists in his career.
20. Bill Russell -- 40,242 (the only guy not a top 50 all-time scorer to get over 40,000)
19. John Havlicek -- 40,516
18. Charles Barkley -- 40,568
17. LeBron James -- 40,715
16. Dan Issel - 41,522 (ABA guy - could have given you 100 guesses and you would not have guessed Dan Issel)
15. Dirk Nowitzki - 43,445
14. Hakeem Olajuwon -- 43,752
13. Artis Gilmore -- 44,321 (ABA guy)
12. Oscar Robertson - 44,401
11. Michael Jordan -- 44,597
10. Shaq -- 44,721

7. Elvin Hayes -- 45,990
6. Kevin Garnett -- 46,178
5. Kobe Bryant -- 46,996
4. Moses Malone -- 49,350 (has ABA stats, but does not need them to qualify)
3. Karl Malone -- 57,144
2. Wilt Chamberlain -- 59,986
1. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar -- 61,487 (only guy on list in top 50 in career points, rebounds and assists)
Guys like Clyde, Gary Payton and Paul Pierce have come close. Pierce, in fact, only needs less than 1,600 total in the 3 categories to join the list.
Small guys really need not apply. The list includes
6'4" and under -- none.
6'5" to 6'8" -- 7 guys
6'9 and above -- 14 guys.
