At a Glance

- 1 of only 12 players to have a single season WS output of 18 or higher.
- Set the single season record for FG made (1275) in 3001.
- Owner of the 3rd highest single-season scoring output (3001).
- 9th in career points, 9th in career FG made, 14th in career FT made, Top 30 in career FG%, Top 30 in career P/TSA, Top 50 in career rebounds, 12th in career steals, and 13th all-time in minutes played.
