Love has a good chance if he stays healthy too.
He actually passed him tonight to bring his total to 719.

Would be nice if he does it in a Spur uniform.
It's pretty amazing that Duncan passed Olajuwon in double-doubles already. It almost doesn't appear to be statistically possible.
Duncan has played 1081 career games with averages of 20.4 points and 11.3 rebounds. Olajuwon played 1238 games with averages of 21.8 points and 11.1 rebounds.
Congrats on passing that scrub

He should pass Shaq too, before the year is out. I see nobody is giving him a chance to pass Karl Malone.
If the wheels don't fall off for another 4 years, Tim's got a fighting chance at passing Malone. Still a very small chance.
He'll pass Shaq in a few weeks at this rate.
In 4 years time there will be players in the NBA who will be born the same day Timmy was drafted.
i believe the main source of information for these stats is the BBR archive:
http://www.basketball-reference.com/...=&order_by=pts
however, they only record info starting from the 85-86 season.
i was able to find this list from elias sports bureau (as of march 8, 2011):
1 Wilt Chamberlain 966
2 Moses Malone 894
3 Elvin Hayes 890
4 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 882
5 Karl Malone 811
6 Bill Russell 780
7 Hakeem Olajuwon 774
8 Walt Bellamy 755
9 Shaquille O'Neal 727
10 Bob Pet 708
11 Charles Barkley 705
12 Tim Duncan 704
duncan can still finish 6th if he plays 2 more seasons (approximately 180 games) - he's already at 720. however, he will definitely not break top 4.
