Foreword
It has been more than 70 years since the founding of the NBA, and there have been too many excellent players in this long history, according to statistics, so far there are a total of 395 players in the history of the NBA who have scored more than 10,000 points in their careers, which is also very exaggerated. However, most of these players are not really top scorers, and if we narrow it down to 10,000 points before the age of 25, there are only six players in history who have achieved such a feat, including the well-known super scorers Kobe Bryant, Durant and others.
Doncic
Career total 10,039 points
As the youngest player on this list, Doncic entered the league in 2018 at the age of 19 with 21 in his rookie season2 points 78 rebounds and 6 assists. What's even more exaggerated is that Doncic has been playing in the top five in the league since the second season of his career, he has never been selected for the best team in the past four seasons, and as he has spent more time in the league, he is now the strongest ball-handler in the roster.
Doncic is averaging more than 30 points per game for the second straight season this season, and he is averaging 32 points per game so far9 points, and in the Christmas game against the Suns, Doncic slashed 50 points, 6 rebounds, 15 assists and 4 steals to help the team win another victory. After this game, Doncic is not only the fourth player in history to score 50 points in the Christmas game, but he also became the sixth youngest Mr. 10,000 points in history, and it is worth mentioning that although he is not the youngest Mr. 10,000 points, he only took 358 games to achieve this achievement, which is faster than James and Durant.
Maddie
Career total 18,381 points
After graduating from high school in 1997, Maddie participated in that draft, and he was eventually selected with the 9th pick in the first round. And the transfer to the Magic in 2000 was also a turning point in Maddy's career, and after arriving here, Maddie's ball possession skyrocketed, so his statistics have also improved significantly, and he averaged 26 per game in his first season with the Magic8 points 75 rebounds 46 assists for the performance.
In the 2002-2003 season, Maddie averaged 32 per game1 point 65 rebounds and 5With an all-round performance of 5 assists, he became the fourth player since 1980 to average more than 32 points per game since Jordan, Bernard King, and George Gervin1 point for the player. In the 2003-2004 season, although Maddy's scoring declined, he still averaged 28 points per game, and in the game against the Nuggets, he achieved 10,000 points, and it is worth mentioning that Maddy played only 20 minutes before being ejected.

As part of the '03 Platinum generation, Anthony showed his scoring talent since he entered the league in 2003, averaging 21 points per game in his rookie season1 rebound 28 assists, and the Nuggets were still the top team in the league at the time, so his stats were more valuable than other rookies. Although Anthony has hit the rookie wall at times, he has basically been one of the best scorers in the league since his third season, and he averaged 28 per game in the 2006-2007 season9 points for performance.
By the 2008-2009 season, Anthony was averaging 25 per game7 points 74 rebounds and 34 assists, in the regular season against the Thunder in the middle of the season, he scored 32 points and 11 assists in a single game, and completed the quasi-final kill 5 seconds before the end, and with his excellent performance, Anthony's total score finally crossed the 10,000-point mark, and he was not yet 25 years old at the time.
Kobe
Career total 33,643 points
Kobe Bryant was still very young when he first entered the league, so although the Lakers valued him very much at that time, the team still chose to let him start off the bench first, and Kobe Bryant could only play an average of 15 per game in his rookie season5 minutes, the average data per game is only 76 points. However, from the second season, Kobe Bryant began to have more and more balls, and by the fourth season of his career, Kobe Bryant had basically sat firmly in the ranks of stars, and his average data per game that year was 225 points 63 rebounds and 49 assists, but due to the experience of playing as a substitute in the early stage of his career, Kobe Bryant at this time is still far from scoring 10,000 points.

In the third season of his career, Durant averaged 30 per game1 point 76 rebounds 2With 8 assists, this is not only his first season with an average of 30+ per game, but also his first scoring title.
