The NBA's all-time leading scorer, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, was definitely one of the most consistent players in league history. Kareem played in 20 NBA seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks (1969-1975) and the LA Lakers (1975-1989) and he averaged 24.6 points per game in his career.

The 7' 2'' center had arguably the most unstoppable shot in NBA history, the "Sky Hook," and he made great use of it on offense, winning two scoring titles and averaging over 30 points a night four times in his career.

In terms of consecutive games with at least 10 points, the six-time MVP (a record) has the third-largest streak in NBA history, with 787 games between December 4th, 1977 and December 2nd, 1987.

Michael Jordan is arguably the greatest scorer the NBA has ever seen, and his consistency on the offensive side of the ball was mightily superb.

Jordan finished his career with the highest average of points per game in NBA history at 30.1, and his record-breaking 10 scoring titles tell most of the story of his scoring prowess.

Jordan scored 32,292 points in his regular-season career, the fifth-most in league history. He also has the second-largest streak of consecutive games with 10 or more points scored, with 866 between March 25th, 1986 and December 26th, 2001.

LeBron James is regarded as the greatest player in NBA history by many, while his endurance has also been immensely applauded throughout his career. James will start his 19th NBA season with the LA Lakers, and he might still be the best player in the world right now, at age 36.

He's been known as a pass-first player throughout his NBA career, but James should be praised as one of the greatest and most efficient scorers ever too. His career average of points per game (27) is the sixth-best in NBA history, and he also ranks third in the all-time scoring list with 35,367 points.

James might be on course to become the league's all-time leading scorer after his career is over, and his consistency has a lot to do with it. He has the largest streak of consecutive games of at least 10 points in NBA history, with a whopping 1,040 and counting.
