There are 7 players who scored more than 3,000 points in the current playoffs. Who is expected to reach 5,000 points? 2 players have the best chance

On June 14, the NBA Finals were in full swing. This season, we have witnessed the fall of veteran stars and the rise of new stars in the league. Alexander and Halliburton will become top stars in the league in the future. Although the older generation of stars has no peak, there are still many All-Stars. They are still working for honor. The playoffs are the stage for stars. It is difficult to score in the playoffs. Looking at history, there are only 6 people who scored more than 5,000 points in the finals, namely James, Jordan, Jabbar, Kobe, O'Neal and Duncan.

Only six active players except James scored more than 3,000 points, which is already very difficult. Who among these 6 players has the hope of breaking through 5,000 points at the end of their careers? Let’s take a look together.

Durant

Durant's total score in the playoffs has reached 4,985 points so far, and he is still 15 points away from reaching 5,000 points. Durant's total score in the playoffs ranks seventh in history. Although Durant is 36 years old, he wants to join a strong team at the playoff level next season. In terms of his scoring ability, as long as he enters the playoffs next season, it is a foregone conclusion that his career score exceeds 5,000 points. Although he is at the end of his career, he is still the top scorer in the league.

Durant averaged 29.3 points per game in his career playoffs. His singles ability is too strong. He stopped and jumped in a quick stop at the free throw line. Even if both players can't defend, other players may still need to cook and do a lot of fake moves if they want to score. However, Durant only needs to rely on his talent. His height and speed are here, and his opponents cannot defend at all. When Durant retired, he may be able to score a total score of about 5,300 points in the playoffs.

Curry

Curry's total score in his career playoffs reached 4147 points, which is still more than 800 points away. Although it doesn't seem to be much, it is still quite difficult. After all, Curry is 37 years old. It is uncertain how many years he can play in the Finals, and it is uncertain how many years he can still maintain his peak. However, Curry still has a chance. Judging from this season, Curry still has the level of the top ten in the league. As long as he can reach the finals next season, perhaps Curry can really reach 5,000 points in one season.

As the number one shooter in history, Curry does not have much requirements for athletic ability. He is also very talented. His shooting speed and sense of ball are top in history. Otherwise, he would not be the leader in history. He is also the player with the most three-pointers in the playoffs, and he averages 26.8 points per game in his career. I think Curry will be very close even if he doesn't reach 5,000 points until he retires. He is already very outstanding in winning 4 championships in his career.

Harden

Harden has scored a total of 3,985 points in the playoffs so far. Harden probably has a difficult time doing this. Although he still has the All-Star level, everyone should have seen that Harden's current scoring ability has declined significantly compared to before. Moreover, in the critical battles in the playoffs, his offensive performance is obviously not good. Harden relies on fouls and magic balls to gain a foothold in the league, but now he has no fouls.

And the most important thing is that Harden's breakthrough ability is not as good as before. As he grows older, his explosive power is no longer good. Relying on Harden's football quotient, he estimates that he will still be an All-Star player in the future. His organizational ability is here, which can drive the team, but it is difficult to improve the score greatly. Moreover, Harden is also 35 years old. His peak may be shorter than Curry and Durant. He lost his peak by being killed by Nash at the Nets. Although Leonard missed a lot of regular season, he participated in the playoffs a lot. He played in a total of 13 playoffs in his career. From entering the league, he failed to participate in the playoffs due to injury in 22 years, he played in the playoffs in other times. He also relied on his outstanding personal performance and won two FMVP trophys. In 2019, Leonard scored 736 points in the playoffs in a single season, which was quite unsolvable. Leonard scored a total of 3,133 points in his career playoffs.

Leonard is now 33 years old. In terms of his health and condition, I think it is difficult for him to reach 4,000 points. After all, his health has never been guaranteed. Maybe one day he will miss due to injury. Pachuria's kick made Leonard completely lose his health, otherwise the upper limit he can reach is definitely worth looking forward to. If this person can stay healthy, he may be able to win more honors in the playoffs. It is also difficult for Westbrook and Clay to break through 5,000 points. Westbrook has scored a total of 3,035 points in his career so far. Westbrook has no peak now. He is just a team rotation player. Until he retires, it is already very good that he can score 3,500 points in his career. Clay also lost his peak. Now he has a game of three points. He has scored a total of 3,032 points in the playoffs. It is estimated that he will be able to reach 3,500 points like Westbrook in the future.
