NBA Playoffs - All-Time Career Records - Points

NBA Playoffs - All-Time Career Records - Points

From Dennis Velasco, for About.com

In the end, it's all about points in the NBA. The NBA team with the most points wins proves that - it's a rule, you know. However, just like fans of other sports like touchdowns, homeruns, and goals, us NBA fans are enamoured, for the most part, with points. So, which NBA players have scored the most during the NBA postseason? Well, the top player is arguably best ever. I wonder who that could be.

  1. Michael Jordan - 5,987 (179)
  2. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - 5,762 (237)
  3. Shaquille O'Neal - 5,045 (198)
  4. Karl Malone - 4,761 (193)
  5. Jerry West - 4,457 (153)
  6. Larry Bird - 3,897 (164)
  7. John Havlicek - 3,776 (172)
  8. Hakeem Olajuwon - 3,755 (145)
  9. Magic Johnson - 3,701 (190)
  10. Scottie Pippen - 3,642
