, never reached 20K points in his career. As the face of the Showtime Los Angeles Lakers, he was the centerpiece that led to several championships for the franchise. While he was primarily a playmaker, Johnson was a capable scorer who could've scored enough to join the club.

However, it's worth noting that Johnson had to announce an early retirement after he was diagnosed with HIV. While he did make a return, Johnson's best days were far behind him, and it was too brief for him to make up for lost time.

Isiah Thomas was the face of the Bad Boy Detroit Pistons that emerged as a solid dynasty. The elite playmaker was the driving force of two championship runs. While playmaking was more of his calling card, Thomas was a capable scorer when called upon. However, his focus on setting the table and making his teammates look better were more important than his personal scoring. As a result, it's easy to see why he's considered as one of the most iconic Basketball Hall of Famers.

Chris Webber was one of the best power forwards in his era. Thanks to his versatility, he was often an offensive force who could score in multiple ways, whether through post-ups or jumpers. Unfortunately, multiple injuries played a huge part in preventing him not only from scoring 20K points but also from fulfilling his full potential.

Tracy McGrady was a prolific scorer. He once dropped 13 points in 33 seconds in clutch fashion. Furthermore, it's worth noting that T-Mac even owns two scoring titles. However, a slow start to his NBA career and injuries attributed to his failure to break through 20,000 career points.

Tony Parker is an important figure in the San Antonio Spurs' history books. He helped the franchise win four NBA titles across two different decades. But while Parker can score, especially with his deadly floater, the French guard was more of a floor general who loved to get his teammates involved. In fact, that's just him embodying the culture of the Spurs, which manifests in unselfish basketball.

During his best days, Chris Bosh was an elite power forward. His ability to both stretch the floor with his shooting coupled with his ability to finish around the rim elevated him as the face of the Toronto Raptors early on. Had he remained the main option for the Raptors, he'd reach 20,000 points. However, Bosh opted to join forces with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in Miami, relegating him as the third option who sacrificed his production in return for two NBA titles.
