We are in our 17th season of this version of the ITP and although the 2017 stats are not up to date in the game history today, we will look at career records of who's number ranked 1, 50, and 100 in each category through the 2016 season.
Career Games
#1. Bill Willoughby: Willoughby comes in first with 1339 Games played and he is still playing today with the Miami Heat 23.4 Minutes per game in 52 games in 2017. He also played in all 82 games of the regular season 6 times and still has decent ratings to keep him playing valued minutes in the league after all this time.
#50. Vin Baker: Baker a year younger than Willoughby has played in 1066 games but this season he has been on the bench and only getting into 19 games averaging 4.4 minutes per game. Looks like Baker is heading towards retirement as the last few seasons his playing time has diminished.
#100. Robert Parrish: 917 This was a surprise to me as I expected to see a younger player just getting to the leader boards but Parrish who last played in 2011 finds himself as Mr. 100
Points
#1. LaMelo Ball: 35,454 points scored as this is no surprise here, LaMelo has been the thorn in the side of owner for his entire career and finally has dropped from superstar level as he now plays for the Spurs still averaging 18.2ppg. Its still weird that he is not a Knick though.
#50. Dave Bing: 16,615 Points scored. Another good point guard that has played over 31 minutes is every season he has played and is still starting today 14.9ppg in 38 minutes although most of that was as a SG in Philly before the Bulls traded for him.
#100. Drazen Petrovic: 12,225 points scored. Sadly, even though Drazen ratings could still have him playing more minutes he is riding the pine in Phoenix barely getting in just 28 games with 6.7minutes per game. Petro was one of those guys who although coming into the league with good ratings a high potential just never really developed into the player, we thought he would.
Rebounds
#1. Moses Malone: 14,279 Rebounds is crazy amount, but Malone was a beast all the way until he retired in 2015. 14 plus thousand rebounds in 15 seasons is pretty damn amazing.
#50. Lloyd Neal: 8342 Rebounds. Oh yes, my boy Lloyd Neal who when we traded for him one owner said the league is screwed and while it was just little old Neal, he helped the Timberwolves to a few good seasons getting us over the hump and was a solid rebounding SF!
#100. Elton Brand: 6068 Rebounds. Brand at just 28 has made himself a solid career still playing starting minutes with solid numbers and in just 8 seasons has put up some good rebound numbers which seems to have been quietly overlooked until now.
Assists
#1. Killian Hayes: 11,394 Assists is pretty crazy, but Hayes has been one of the best point guards in the league for a long time and although at 35 his skills are not what they were he is still playing 30 plus minutes a game in Seattle.
#50. Randy Foye: 4016 Assists. Well, I didn't expect to be talking about Randy Foye today, but I guess someone decided at some point he was worth playing. Yeah, let's move on.
#100. Truck Robinson: 2561 that right big men can pass too, and Robinson was a solid player who could do it all as a big and if Randy Foye can get 4016 assists Truck can too!!! Seriously Randy Foye...
Steals
#1. Bill Willoughby: 2707 career steals and I be you thought we were done talking about Bill but he just wanted to remind you that its not always about LaMelo Ball when it comes to records. In Fact, Ball has nearly 1000 less steals and that's fine by me.
#50. Moses Malone: 1147 career steals and I love it! big men showing how its not always about the point and like Ball a 2 timer in this article. Moses Fucking Malone!
#100. Kevin Kunnert: 883 career steals. Another solid big man who retired in 2011 but is still on the leader board with steals! this is pretty interesting to see how many big's out there are more than just rebounders.
Blocks
#1. Nerlens Noel: 4193. Noel in his prime was a damn good player who like Moses Malone gave opposing teams nothing but headaches, if you had him you loved him.
#50. Bob McAdoo: 1348 career blocks for Bob but If I remember correct, he came into the league older with our first draft? I could be wrong, but I think he would have been higher up the list if he came in as a rookie.
#100. Aaron Gordan: 846 career blocks and Gordan is still playing in Boston getting 26 minutes per game and looks like he could play a couple more seasons with his ratings.
