As a legend, players who can top the list of all data in the new century are undoubtedly worthy of respect! Even if you don’t like a player from the bottom of your heart, you can’t deny his greatness against your conscience! !

Then, in this issue, Sanpang will take a look at the NBA's data kings since the 21st century and their highlights in their careers. I hope that all viewers who like this article will not be stingy with your likes. (PS: This article only represents personal opinions, and the data support comes from the US media Clutch Points. Don't criticize if you don't like it, thank you! )

21st century total scorer: LeBron James (active)

21st century total score: 42,184 points

career highest score: 61 points (March 3, 2014, the Heat 12-107 Bobcats. James made 22-33 shots, 8-of-10 three-pointers, and 9-of-free throws.)

highest score per game in the season: 31.4 points (2005-2006 season, ranked 3rd in the scoring list)

Number of scoring kings: 1 (2007-2008 season, averaged 30.0 points per game)

Number of seasons per game: 22 (never had a season with average scores less than 20 in my career!)

Number of seasons per game: 20 (This achievement has been achieved in 20 consecutive seasons, the only one in history!)

Number of seasons per game: 3

Three fat brief review: Even though James has only achieved one success on the scoring track, James is undoubtedly the best in history in terms of scoring stability! Who can average 25+ points per game for 20 consecutive seasons? Who can average 20+ points per game for 22 consecutive seasons? Even though Jordan holds 10 regular season scoring trophys, the old hooligan who has not yet reached the age of 40 in his twilight years in his career almost fell below the 20+ mark...

21st century total rebounds: Dwight Howard

21st century total rebounds: 14,627

career highest rebounds: 30 (On March 21, 2018, the Hornets 111-105 Nets. Howard grabbed 19 backcourt rebounds and 11 frontcourt rebounds, and scored a huge double-double of 32 points + 30 rebounds!)

The highest rebound per game in the season: 14.5 (2011 -Season 2012, ranked 1st in the rebounding list)

Number of rebounding kings: 5 (2007-2008, averaged 14.2 games, 2008-2009, averaged 13.8 games, 2009-2010, averaged 13.2 games, 2011-2012, averaged 14.5 games, 2012-2013, averaged 12.4 games)

Number of 10+ rebounding seasons per game: 14

Number of 15+ rebounding seasons per game: 0

Brief comments of Sanpang: If you are self-disciplined, Sanpang really can't believe what height the spark can finally reach! As the only one who could switch to James at his peak, the one-star quad-shooting lineup with Howard as the core completely defeated his opponent when facing James... Howard did have unparalleled personal abilities at his peak. However, the final spark became James' teammate after going around in circles, which was the only collaboration between the two, and ultimately helped Spark realize his dream successfully.

21st Century Total Assistant King: Chris Paul (active)

21st Century Total Assistance: 12,499

The highest assists in a single game in his career: 21 (On November 6, 2007, the Hornets 118-104 Lakers. Chris Paul gave 21 assists in the whole game and only 2 turnovers, and the assist-turnover ratio reached an astonishing 10.5)

The highest assist per game in the season: 11.6 (2007-2008 season, ranked 1st in the assist list )

Number of assist kings: 4 (2007-2008 season, averaged 11.6 games, 2008-2009 season, averaged 11.0 games, 2013-2014 season, averaged 10.7 games, 2014-2015 season, averaged 10.2 games)

Number of 10+ assists per game: 6

Number of 15+ assists per game: 0

Brief comments of Sanfa: Similar to Zhan, one of the Banana Boat Brothers, Lao Pao always completes assists in double digits without saying a sound! Although unlike the explosive assists per game like Magic, Stockton and Long, the old cannon wins in stability. Until the end of his career, Lao Pao lost more opportunities to play in his wandering career season, and his assists dropped sharply and affected his career average... Fortunately, Paul has not retired and has reached the second place in the historical assist list, and he can still consolidate his position!

21st Century total steal king: Chris Paul (active)

21st Century total steals: 2717

The highest steals in a single game: 9 (February 20, 2008, Hornets 104-93 Mavericks. Chris Paul gave 9 steals in a single game. One person is on par with his opponent Dallas Mavericks! )

The highest steal per game per season: 2.8 (2008-2009 season, ranked 1st in the steal list)

Number of steal kings: 6 (2007-2008 season, averaged 2.7 games, 2008-2009 season, averaged 2.8 games, 2010-2011 season, averaged 2.4 games, 2011-2012 season, averaged 2.5 games, 2012-2013 season, averaged 2.4 games, 2013-2014 season, averaged 2.5 games)

2+ steal season per game: 11

3+ steal season per game: 0

Sanpang Brief Comment: Similar to the assists, Paul is also a model of stable victory in the field of steals! Since his debut, Lao Pao's 20-year career averages have never been less than 1. Although the average number of steals at his peak was not as exaggerated as other stars, his stable performance made Paul's career ranked second in history! The old cannon, who has not yet retired, can still consolidate his record more firmly.

21st century total blocks: Tim Duncan

21st century total blocks: 2688

The highest blocks in a single game in his career: 9 (On January 26, 2007, the Spurs 112-96 Grizzlies. Duncan slapped 9 blocks when facing the Grizzlies who were unprepared in the interior! The total number of blocks on the opponent's team is only 3...)

The highest block per game in the season: 2.9 (2002-2003 season, ranked 3rd in the block list)

Number of block kings: 0

2+ block seasons per game: 12

3+ block seasons per game: 0

Sanpang Brief Review: As the only player on this list to debut in the 20th century, only Duncan can cross the century and still dominate the data list! Its legendary status can be seen. Similar to James and Paul, Duncan has never won the title of blocking king in his 19-year career, but has surpassed many good players because of his outstanding stability. During his peak seasons, Duncan never fell out of the top five in the league. Therefore, even if you debut in the 20th century, it is not a false defensive player debuting in the 21st century!

21st Century Total Three-pointer King: Stephen Curry (active)

21st Century Total Three-pointer: 4058

The highest three-pointer in a career: 13 points (On November 7, 2016, the Warriors 116-106 Pelicans. Curry made 13 of 17 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of up to 76.5%! It is worth mentioning that 13 three-pointers are also the NBA record. )

The highest three-pointer hit per game in the season: 5.3 (2020-2021 season, ranked 1st in the three-point list)

Average 5+ three-pointer hits per game Season number: 3

Sanpang Brief Review: Although the three-pointer king was listed separately and was criticized by netizens, it is believed that if the three-pointer king is listed, the one-point king and the two-point king should be listed. But to a certain extent, Curry is synonymous with three points, and who should be used as the storefront of one point and two points? Even if you don’t like Curry, you have to admit that the horror of his three-point ability has promoted the entire basketball sport! You can criticize Curry for not defending or organizing, but you will never dare to short Curry’s three-pointers at critical moments...
