On the Fact that Had Wilt Chamberlain Been Able to Make 75% of His Free Throws (a Modest Percentage), His Career Scoring Total Would Have Increased by 2,840 Points and so Instead of 7th On the All-Time List He Would Be 4th with a Grand Total of 34,259 (Trailing Only Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Karl "the Mailman" Malone, and Lebron James)

 

It's also instructive to point out that Chamberlain only played 14 years in the NBA, as opposed to the 20, 19, and 19 of the other three guys. So, yeah, if you added a couple more seasons his total would have been even more unbelievable......and maybe even have gotten him to number one on the list. Who knows (as you can clearly go over these "what ifs" forever).
