Who score the most points in the nba?

If you are talking about a team, the Detroit Pistons outscored the Denver Nuggets 186-184. The game was tied at 145 at the end of regulation, and it went into triple overtime. If you are talking about an individual, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar scored over 38,000 points in his lifetime. Kareem has retired, though, and Shaquille O'Neal is still playing, and he is one of the top scorers, so Shaquille might break the record one day.
