Blazer All Time Leading Scorers

[GrandpaBlaze]

Going into the Jazz game tomorrow NBA only scoring:

100. Elton Brand - 16,827 (106 points needed to pass)
101. Buck Williams - 16,784 (63 points needed to pass)
102. Damian Lillard - 16,722

If Dame can pass Buck in the Jazz game, fair chance he will pass Elton as well. However, most likely he'll pass Buck by the end of the season but not quite catch Brand for #100.

Dame moves past BOTH of them tonight! Book it FAMS!

106 points tonight? Knocking Wilt off the single game scoring throne would definitively answer whether Dame is the best Blazer ever, that's for sure.

Dame moves past BOTH of them tonight! Book it FAMS!

And the Blazers win after battling through 14 overtimes

Fun Facts:
Lillard needs to get to 16828 points to reach top 100 all time in scoring (NBA only, not NBA/ABA)
----->2 games left in the season, he needs 76 points (38 ppg) in those games to achieve milestone.
----->Lillard was sitting in the 103 spot for weeks, but has now passed Sprewell - the poor guy who can no longer feed his family.
This season (2020-2021) Carmelo reached top 10 all time in scoring.
This season (2020-2021) Lillard reached top 10 all time in 3s made.

Data:
Carmelo all time points: 27355 is 10th all time (need 27410 to pass (former Blazer, ouch) Moses Malone)

Lillard all time points: 16752 is 102nd in NBA history.
Was 143rd at beginning of season.

Lillard all time 3s made: 2044 is 10th (Paul Pierce is 9th with 2143).
Was 30th at beginning of season.

Right before Nurk and Powell play their first game, game 45. let's see if defense improves!
DRtg: 29th
ORtg: 6th
NRtg: 20th (-1.0)

Current:
DRtg: 29th (Bless you Sacramento Kings!)
ORtg: 4th (only 0.1 behind 2nd)
NRtg: 11th (+1.7)

Note: next year, I'll be tracking Lillard and CJ (assuming both are still on team, and Carmelo isn't)

Going into the last game of the season:

Carmelo is 10th place in the NBA only all-time list. With a 50 point game he can pass Moses Malone for 9th.

Dame is currently 101 on the NBA only all-time list. With a 35 point game he can pass Elton Brand for #100.

Dame is currently 10th on the all-time 3pointer list. If he can get 98 3 pointers against the Nuggets, he can pass Paul Pierce for 9th. If Dame gets that many 3 pointers against the Nuggets, I think he'll pass a lot more people that just Elton Brand on the all-time scoring list.

I will go out on hopefully a very strong limb and say that Dame will move into 100th and Melo will move to 9th Sunday against Denver!!!!
