Author Topic: shaq reaches 20,000 points (Read 203 times)

Shaquille O'Neal scored his first points early in his first NBA game against Miami on Nov. 6, 1992.
A little more than 10 years later, the Big Fella joined the elite 20,000-point club on a jump hook with 1:05 remaining in the first half of the Lakers' game in Sacramento.

As small as that club is -- 27 players previously eclipsed 20,000 points -- O'Neal joins an even more exclusive group. Thursday's game in Sacramento was O'Neal's 727th, which means the Big Diesel motored to 20,000 points faster than all but six of those 27 players.

Four of them also wore the Lakers purple and gold: Wilt Chamberlain (499); Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (684); Elgin Baylor (711); and Jerry West (717). The other two players on the list are Michael Jordan (620) and Oscar Robertson (671).

Of the six ahead of Shaq, only Jordan (currently 30.3 ppg) and Chamberlain (30.1) have higher career scoring averages than O'Neal's current average of 27.5 points.

FASTEST TO 20,000 POINTS

Wilt Chamberlain 499 games, 31,419
Michael Jordan 620 games, 31,972
Oscar Robertson 671 games, 26,710
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 684 38,387
Elgin Baylor 711 games, 23,149
Jerry West 717 games, 25,192
Shaquille O'Neal 727 games, 20,017
George Gervin 747 games, 20,708
Bob Pettit 753 games, 20,880
Dominique Wilkins 763 games, 26,668

Bumps' Shaq's Classic
wit' a touch of the QUikster..

Artist: Shaquille O'Neal
Album: You Can't Stop the Reign
Song: Straight Playin'

It's hard being this good
Yeah
Uh
Yeah

I took a stand in the 90's
Shook but heard turnin it
The fact that Shaq could leave a cold track burnin
Even though in the Tahoe
My whole crew could follow
I convoy 100,000 dollar car follow
Keep your eyes on the biggest big man in the era
Represent rap for all
Enrico Gates bring the terror
T,W,I s to the M The World Is Mine
I'm gonna shout till a thousand 99
I'm dope for breakin backboards easy
Even caught bills slippin
Like they greasy
Pockets stay cheesy
Believe me
I can stack your chips on the remix
And you still couldn't see me
Now pay me
Run to the border
Hit the water
Cause your style and your profile is out of order
I flow like a river
None come bigger
It's a fact big Shaq is just one bad

I like playin on the Westside
Even though I miss playin on the east side
My girl Michelle still got my back and its alright
We could do it from the night until the daylight
**I got suckers from my past tryin to feel me
And all the ones gettin fresh tryin to kill me
A force goes through her body that could chill me**
There's nothing left for you to do but try to feel me

We can cut through the red tape
And bust through the fakers
Keep your eye on big Shaq
And put your money on the Lakers
I'm guaranteed
(You'll do what?)
I repeat i'm guaranteed
To bring it to your face indeed
Type of brother who can stay up all night and hit 40
After the game get naughty
And pull your shorty
And its hard to the next stage to bring it to your idol
Bring it to your whole team and bring home the title
Let my crew known for how we do when we travel
Let's straddle leavin folks grounded like gravel
Saddle up your horse and hit the course
It's your turn
You could stay in my face and watch your whole crew burn
Now some say I
Don't shine I
Know a different story, never lie
Come watch me fly the sky's no limit
And Shaq's no gimmick you can mimmick
But you front and your finished

I like playin on the west side
Even though I miss playin on the east side
My girl Michelle still got my back and its alright
We could do it from the night until the daylight
**I got suckers from my past tryin to feel me
And all the ones gettin fresh tryin to kill me
A force goes through her body that chill me**
There's nothing left for you to do but try to feel me

Now peace to the playa haters that hate me playin
Knock what I do knock what i'm sayin
I'm pullin out the red carpet and your inside it
Bring it to the front and light it and get excited
Trauma my good fellow mellow like a cello
Enrico Gonzalez one rich fellow
And watch me make your girl jiggle like jell-o
Whose world is this?
Over here baby hello

I like playin on the west side
Even though I miss playin on the east side
My girl Michelle still got my back and its alright
We could do it from the night until the daylight
**I got suckers from my past tryin to feel me
And all the ones gettin fresh tryin to kill me
A force goes through her body that could chill me**
There's nothing left for you to do but try to feel me

I like playin on the west side
Even though I miss playin on the east side
My girl Michelle still got my back and its alright
We could do it from the night until the daylight
**I got suckers from my past tryin to feel me
And all the ones gettin fresh tryin to kill me
A force goes through her body that could chill me**
There's nothing left for you to do but try to feel me

Rock on baby
Rock on baby
Oh yeah
Rock on and on
Oh yeah
I love Superman
I love Superman
I love Superman
I love Superman

I love the Westside, it's time to party
Whenever Superman is in the house
I love the Eastside, it's time to party
Whenever Superman is in the house

(Music repeats until end)

he's the 7th fastest to reach 20k, though i've noticed watching some of his games lately, i think he is really slowing down, he's just not as good as he was 2-3 years ago, he's still good though
