Kareem IS the NBA's all time leading scorer. In his prime, he AVERAGED about 30 points per game. VERY consistent scorer, unstoppable when in position. He's the leading scorer because he outlived god on the basketball court. "In his prime he averaged about 30 points per game"? The same is true of Jordan. But there are two major differences: -Jordan, unlike Kareem, was always in his prime. And no, that's not just a function of age--Kareem's 30-point era lasted about five years. Jordan's lasted his entire career. -"About" for Michael means just above; for Kareem, it means just below. Check out their stats for the first 14 years of their careers (Michael had two outliers--his second year he only played 18 games post-injury, and his tenth year he only played 17 post-unretirement). It's just like Gretzky-Lemiux. You always get Pittsburgh locals who claim that Lemieux could play with Gretzky, but when you look at the stats, it just ain't there.
