Except for Zhan Du, who can get 30,000 points in active service? Only 4 people have hope

30,000 points are a majestic milestone, symbolizing the perfect fusion of scoring ability, endurance and stability. Looking at the nearly eight decades of NBA history, only 8 players have achieved this achievement, namely James, Jabbar, Malone, Kobe, Jordan, Nowitzki, Chamberlain and Durant. It can be seen that all the players who can enter this field are superstars with outstanding strength.

So, in today's NBA league, who can score 30,000 points besides James and Durant? Based on the actual situation, there is only 4 people who have a chance to do it.

Harden

The peak Harden's offensive ability is unquestionable. He averaged 36.1 points per game in a single season, and scored for three consecutive years to win the score. His explosive score is enough to be comparable to Jordan Kobe. Currently, the 35-year-old Harden has a total career score of 27,687 points, second only to Zhan Du among active players, and is still 2,313 points away from the 30,000 mark. If Harden can maintain an average of about 20 points per game, it will only take about 2 seasons to break through 30,000 points, that is, in the 2026-27 season.

Curry

As we all know, Curry changed the style of modern basketball with an unparalleled three-pointer and pushed the NBA to the small ball era. So far in his career, Curry has scored 25,386 points, and is still 4,614 points away from the 30,000 mark. If Curry averaged 24.5 points per game this season, it will take another 3 seasons to achieve a breakthrough. Of course, considering Curry's current age and physical condition, it is inevitable that the future decline in competitive state will be reduced, so it may take longer. However, as long as Curry is willing, he can retire after he is 40 years old.

Antesco

As one of the best players in the league today, Antesco has shown excellent dominance on both offense and defense. His beastly physical fitness has made him very efficient on the offensive end, and has averaged more than 30 points per game in the past three seasons. So far, Antetokounmpo's total career score is 20,538 points. Although he is still nearly 10,000 points away from the 30,000 points mark, he is only 30 years old and is at the peak of his career. As long as there are no major injuries in the future, Antetokounmpo is undoubtedly the most promising player among the Middle Ages players to break through 30,000 points, and it only takes about 5-6 seasons.

Doncic

Doncic is undoubtedly the best offensive ability among the new generation of players. He has omnipotent three-pointers, breakthroughs, and back-to-backs. The unpredictable rhythm makes the defenders miserable. So far, the 25-year-old Doncic has scored 12,878 points, and his career average is as high as 28.6 points, which is no less than Zhan Du at the same time. Most importantly, Doncic's style of playing is a typical "floor flow", similar to Harden, which can greatly reduce his injury probability and extend his career life.

To sum up, these four players have become the most promising candidates among active players with 30,000 points with their outstanding scoring ability, stable competitive state and team's tactical status. In contrast, although Westbrook, Paul, Lillard, DeRozan and others have scored more than 20,000 points in their careers, it is quite difficult to break through the 30,000 mark, considering their age, injury history and team status.
