4,000th Point

More from King James Gospel

As of right now, Birdman has scored a total of 3,727 points. With 273 points to 4,000, it seems like an achievable milestone. But over his 14 years in the NBA, Birdman has averaged 5.5 points per game. This means, if he plays his career average of 49 games per season, he’ll score around 270 points.

So based on his career averages Birdman might not get his 4,000th point, but he can hit the 3,995th point milestone. He’ll only need three more points to reach 4,000 though, and we’re hoping he performs a little above average (either playing a few more games or scoring a few more points in a game or two), so can get those extra points.
