Who are the five greatest NBA scorers who have played the game? If you ask a dozen people, you could very easily get five entirely different lists based on the subjective nature of such a question, though we’d wager if you are reading this, a few of them are Boston Celtics.
Given the impact of different eras on scoring statistics, and the effects of rule changes benefiting certain players, such as James Harden’s reliance on drawing fouls during his prime, just a few examples of how different criteria change the equation for each of us underlines how individually-oriented such lists can be.
Former Boston fan favorite forward Antoine Walker recently shared his own list of his five all-time NBA great scorers on the I Am Athlete “Paper Route” podcast.
Take a look at the clip to find out who his are and the criteria he used to come to that conclusion.
