* The box score lacks the stat in some of his games here; the total is the games that have it. — The box score lacks the stat in more than a tenth of his games here. The box score has assists in nearly every game from 1975-76 and 3-pointers made in nearly every game from 1979-80; the Method has the rest. A position is the NBA roster's, else ESPN's, one for the whole career.
