#5 Wayne Gretzky’s career points tally of 2857
Debating or deciding who is the greatest player in a particular sport becomes really tough, given the constraints of time, performance, era and other things. However, when it comes to Ice Hockey and the NHL, a certain Wayne Gretzky makes it easier for all of us. The former Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles King legend has been acknowledged by the NHL itself as the greatest player of all time and a mere glance at his records would tell you nothing different.
Without any sort of deviation, here is a little perspective about the magnitude of his record and its level. Gretzky has a total career point tally of 2857 and the second best player on the list is Mark Messier, who has 1887 points and is retired now. This is not the only record he holds by the way. Others include Most Career Goals, Most Career Assists, Most Goals in a Season, Longest point scoring streak and Most 100-point Seasons among others. To think that he has managed all this in a team sport makes Gretzky’s achievement even bigger.
