Karl Malone 有機會打破 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 所保持的 NBA 最多得分紀錄。 但是已經進入名人堂的 Jabbar 認為 Malone 應該花更多的心力去贏得總冠軍！ 目前的紀錄是由 Jabbar 在闖蕩 NBA 二十年後所創下的 38387分。Malone 目前 十八年的 NBA 生涯共計得分 36374分，距離紀錄只有 2013分。若 Malone 能再 多打兩年，他只要每場平均得分到達 12.3 分便可順利破紀錄。若是以 Malone 去年平均得分 20.6分來計算，他甚至可以在明年十二月初便達到這個目的。 Jabbar 表示贏得冠軍應該是每個人打球的最大動機。對他而言，那正是他打球的 目的。另一方面，Jabbar 怎表示他並不會太關注 Malone 是否及何時會打破他的 紀錄，他表示：那將不會對我有太大的影響！ 以上為大意，原文於下 來源 http://www.sltrib.com/2003/Jun/06132003/sports/sports.asp Kareem to Karl: Go After a Title By Phil Miller The Salt Lake Tribune EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is aware that Karl Malone is in pursuit of his all-time NBA scoring record. But the Hall of Fame center believes Malone should pursue another of Abdul-Jabbar's achievements even harder: A world championship. "A championship should be everybody's motivation," said Abdul-Jabbar, who was honored during Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday. "That's the most important thing. That's why I played the game." As he was doing so, the innovator of the skyhook also piled up 38,387 points, more than anyone in history. It's a record that many people considered unbreakable when Abdul-Jabbar retired after 20 NBA seasons with the Bucks and Lakers, but one that Malone is quickly closing in on. The Jazz great finished his 18th season with 36,374 points, just 2,013 away from the record. If he plays two more seasons, Malone needs to average only 12.3 points per game to catch Abdul-Jabbar; if he maintains the 20.6- point average he posted last season, the soon-to-be 40-year-old would catch Abdul-Jabbar in early December 2004. Malone never can equal Abdul-Jabbar's six world titles -- one in Milwaukee and five in Los Angeles -- and the Laker great understands how that must grate on the Jazz veteran. Perhaps the scoring record can salve that wound, Abdul- Jabbar said. "It will be something for him to hang his hat on. Not winning any world championships, that's tough," Abdul-Jabbar said. "It must be really frustrating for him to have such a fine career but have nothing that really sets him apart. So [the scoring record] might be it." Abdul-Jabbar said he hasn't followed Malone's progress closely, but is aware the record is in jeopardy. "If he maintains his motivation and stays consistent, he'll be able to do it," Abdul-Jabbar said. "I'm not really too involved in it. He's had a great career. And if he breaks the record, it's great for him, but it's not going to affect me too much." --
