Magician Kobe Curry missed! Score more than 1,000 points in the finals career? James Jordan is both on the list

James is about to usher in his 23rd season in his career, thus becoming the first player in history to play until his 23rd season. Not only did James compete for a very long time, but his peak period in his career was also quite long. He reached the finals in a total of 10 times in his career, and almost half of his seasons have been on the stage of the finals. In the 10 years from 2011 to 2020, James only failed to enter the finals in 2019.

Because he played as many as 10 finals and his scoring ability was quite strong, James' total score in his finals also reached 1,562 points, ranking second in history, second only to Jerry West (1679 points). If you play in the finals again before retirement, James' total score is expected to rise to the highest in history.

, including James and West, there are only a handful of players who scored more than 1,000 points in the finals in history, with only 9 in total. The other ones are Jabbar, Jordan, Baylor, Bill Russell, Sam Jones, Heinthorne, and Havericek.

It is worth mentioning that four of them were members of the Celtics' eight consecutive championships in the 1960s. West and Baylor were also the two core members of the Lakers in the 1960s. They led the team to the finals many times, but unfortunately they both lost to the Celtics. It is precisely because they have all reached the finals many times that the cumulative scores in the finals are very high.

Among the 9 players above, Jordan has reached the least number of finals, with only 6 times in total, but Jordan successfully won the championship in every final, leading the Bulls to win two three consecutive championships. Moreover, Jordan averaged 33.6 points in his career in the finals, so his total score reached 1,176 points.

The total score of three players in the finals was very close to 1,000 points, and they are all historical superstars, and they are all idioms for one game, one game for one game, they are Magicians, Kobe, and Curry. He played in the finals in his career as a Magician, scored 971 points, and only 29 points left to reach 1,000 points. Kobe played in the finals seven times and scored 937 points. Curry played in the finals 6 times, scoring a total of 928 points.

In addition, superstars such as O'Neal (865 points), James Worthy (754 points), Bird (716 points), Duncan (708 points) also scored very high in the finals, but they were still quite far from the 1,000 mark.
