78.  Shareef Abdur-Rahim
A very good player, who had the misfortune of playing for some awful teams, Shareef Abdur-Rahim would five times hit the 20 points per game average, and would have a career PER of 19.0. Overall, he proved to be a very good Basketball player who had a lot more points than you may realize; though perhaps it is because you don’t remember any of them!
