LeBron has the scoring record obviously, but I’m wondering what percent of the NBA it takes to match him. If you take the lowest active total scorers and combine their career points, what percent of the NBA is needed to match his total?

558 active players, bottom 230 players have around 40k points.

So, around 40% of bottom players together have the same amount of points as James LeBron.

If we’re talking active players then probably 75%+ of the league.

You know how many players ever played

So I found this helpful chart that lets me sort every active player by points. 558 players in the league, and 12 players have yet to score. I started adding up players backwards from the list, and when I got to Zeke Nnaji (#342 on the list) thats when I went over 39000.

You need 216 of the bottom active scorers to equal 1 Lebron James
