A legend in action, LeBron James is now a regular at all kinds of records. Last February, the Los Angeles Lakers player became the leading scorer in NBA history by surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s 38,387 points. At the dawn of his 21st season in the Great League, “King James” could well and truly become the player with the most minutes played on an NBA floor. A look back at the players with the most effective career minutes.
1) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: 57 446 minutes
After being dethroned by LeBron James on one of the most important records in the history of basketball, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar could now be joined by the native d’Akron in minutes played. The legendary kingpin of Milwaukee bucks and Lakers is also the player who has played the most matches with 1,560 appearances between 1969 and 1989. With 57,446 minutes spent on the court NBA in 1560 matches, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has an incredible average of 36.82 minutes played per game.
2) Karl Malone : 54 852 minutes
Here too, LeBron James is facing quite a client. The “Mailman” remains to this day one of the finest interiors in the history of the NBA, and owes much of its success to its consistency on the court. 3rd best scorer in the history of the Grande Ligue with 36,928 points, the legendary strong winger of the Utah Jazz played 54,852 minutes in NBA in 1,476 games, giving way to a fine average of 37.16 minutes played per game.
3) LeBron James : 54 093 minutes
If about the minutes disputed, LeBron James still a little behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar“King James” could soon exceed Karl Malone. The 38-year-old is now only a few hundred units behind the former power winger, and is obviously the first player still active in terms of minutes played with a total of 54,093 in 1,421 games. Best scorer in the history of the NBA, LeBron James also boasts a sensational minutes played per game ratio with a total of 38.07.
4) Dirk Nowitzki : 51 368
Inducted into the Hall of Fame a few days ago, Dirk Nowitzki will also have marked the history of the NBA firstly because of his talent, but also because of his consistency at the top level. With 51,368 minutes played in 1,522 games, the German will have marked the history of Dallas Maverickstaking the Texas franchise to its first title NBA in 2011.
