1. Kevin Durant
   Kobe Bryant
2. Carmelo Anthony
   LeBron James

LeBron James showed just how great of a scorer he can be in Game 1 of the 2018 NBA Finals. Facing off against the Golden State Warriors, who had a loaded roster, James was virtually unstoppable as he scored 51 of his team's 114 points.

1. Stephen Curry
   Kevin Durant
2. Russell Westbrook
   LaMarcus Aldridge

Kevin Durant has four NBA scoring titles, so it's no surprise that he has been one of the league's top offensive talents throughout the decade. However, he did have to sacrifice some of his numbers when he joined the Golden State Warriors, as they were loaded with talent across the board.

1. James Harden
   Stephen Curry
2. Dwyane Wade
   Damian Lillard

Between the 2013-14 season and the 2018-19 season, James Harden's points per game went up every single year. In 2019, Harden averaged a league-high 36.1 points per game while also dishing out 7.5 assists.

1. Kobe Bryant
   Damian Lillard
2. Russell Westbrook
   Kemba Walker

Russell Westbrook not only has the potential to score but can do a variety of things on the court. In 2017, he became the first player since Oscar Robertson to average a triple-double for a season, which he repeated the next two seasons as well.

1. Stephen Curry
   Klay Thompson
2. Chris Paul
   Kyrie Irving

Stephen Curry basically broke basketball when he started shooting from everywhere beyond half court. His range beyond the three-point line meant defenders had to step out to guard him, which opened up the court for his teammates.

1. Carmelo Anthony
   LaMarcus Aldridge
2. Blake Griffin
   Dirk Nowitzki

Drafted in 2006, it took LaMarcus Aldridge a few seasons to find his game, but once the 2010s rolled around, Aldridge was one of the best scorers in the NBA. In the 2010-11 season, he averaged over 20 points for the first time in his career, a statistic he matched every year throughout the decade except two.

1. DeMarcus Cousins
   Paul George
2. Paul Millsap
   DeMar DeRozan

The only knock against DeMar DeRozan when it comes to offensive production is his three-point shot. While DeRozan averages 45 percent on field goals overall for his career, he only shoots 28 percent from the three.

1. Kemba Walker
   Damian Lillard
2. Carmelo Anthony
   Blake Griffin

Despite being one of the most gifted scorers in NBA history, Carmelo Anthony only has one scoring title on his career, which he earned in 2013. That season, Anthony averaged 28.7 points per game while playing for the New York Knicks.

1. Kobe Bryant
   Dwyane Wade
2. Chris Paul
   Rudy Gay

After departing from the Miami Heat in 2016, Dwyane Wade returned to his former team to finish his career. Despite only starting two games in his final season, Wade averaged 15 points per game on his way out of the league.

1. DeMarcus Cousins
   Brook Lopez
2. Blake Griffin
   Klay Thompson

After missing his initial season with an injury, Blake Griffin exploded onto the scene during the 2010-11 season. Griffin was an immediate star around the rim, dunking ball after ball to average 22.5 points as a rookie.

1. Paul George
   Kyrie Irving
2. Monta Ellis
   Damian Lillard

Damian Lillard showed off his full offensive arsenal during the 2019 NBA Playoffs, helping the Portland Trail Blazers reach the Western Conference Finals for his first time in his tenure with the team. During that run, Lillard averaged 26.9 points per game while also hitting several big shots to help his team advance.

1. Dirk Nowitzki
   Rudy Gay
2. Marc Gasol
   Goran Dragic

During the 2011 NBA Playoffs, Dirk Nowitzki had one of the greatest playoff runs in NBA history. He finished that run by delivering the Dallas Mavericks the only title in franchise history.

1. Kyrie Irving
   Chris Paul
2. Kemba Walker
   Lou Williams

Drafted in 2011, Kemba Walker spent the entire decade playing for the Charlotte Hornets. Despite his individual success, the team only made the playoffs twice, so Walker and the Hornets decided to part ways following the 2018-19 season.

1. DeMarcus Cousins
   Paul George
2. Brook Lopez
   Kevin Love

Had DeMarcus Cousins not torn his ACL in 2018, he would probably be much higher on the list of the top scorers from the 2010s. After all, he was averaging over 25 points per game for three straight seasons, but the injury derailed his career.

1. Monta Ellis
   Klay Thompson
2. Kyle Lowry
   John Wall

Most analysts thought Klay Thompson would have to make the biggest sacrifice when Kevin Durant joined the Golden State Warriors prior to the 2016-17 season. However, Durant's addition didn't affect Thompson's scoring total that year, as he averaged slightly more points than he did in the season prior.

1. Rudy Gay
   Paul Millsap
2. Dwight Howard
   Paul George

Paul George suffered a devastating leg injury in the 2014 offseason that forced him to miss most of the next year. Luckily, a season removed from the injury, George was better than his former self and was even in the MVP conversation a few seasons later.

1. Kyrie Irving
   Chris Paul
2. Anthony Davis
   Kyle Lowry

Even though Chris Paul was one of the NBA's top scorers from the 2010s, scoring hasn't been his strong suit. Paul excels most when he's setting up teammates and even led the NBA in assists in four separate seasons.

1. Rudy Gay
   Kevin Love
2. Paul Millsap
   Jamal Crawford

When it comes to scoring, Rudy Gay had the best season of his career in 2014-15. That season, Gay shot 45 percent from the field, 36 percent from three-point range and averaged 21.1 points per game.

1. Anthony Davis
   Dwight Howard
2. Marc Gasol
   Brook Lopez

For the first half of his career, Brook Lopez refused to shoot from the three-point line, which was typical for an NBA center. However, as the league evolved, Lopez evolved his game as well, and during the 2018-19 season, Lopez shot a career-best 35 percent from beyond the arc.

1. Lou Williams
   John Wall
2. Kyrie Irving
   Mike Conley

Playing beside LeBron James on the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kyrie Irving reached three straight NBA Finals between 2015 and 2017. He had his personal best playoff run in 2017 when he put up 25.9 points per game and 5.3 assists.

1. Lou Williams
   Jrue Holiday
2. Monta Ellis
   Jamal Crawford

Monta Ellis was a superstar at Lanier High School in Mississippi, where he quickly became one of the biggest high school prospects in the nation. Rather than attending Mississippi State, where he had committed, Ellis decided to go straight to the NBA in 2005.

1. Kevin Love
   Dwight Howard
2. Anthony Davis
   Marc Gasol

No one sacrificed more to help the Cleveland Cavaliers win an NBA championship than Kevin Love when he came together with LeBron James and Kyrie Irving in 2014. Before joining the Cavs, Love averaged 26.1 points per game. That total went down to 16.4 during his first season in Cleveland.

1. Mike Conley
   Thaddeus Young
2. Zach Randolph
   Paul Millsap

Unlike some elite scorers who just want points, Paul Millsap tries his best to get quality shots rather than just throwing up ball after ball. His shot selection has earned him a .491 field goal percentage over the course of his career.

1. Joe Johnson
   Dwight Howard
2. John Wall
   Marc Gasol

When Dwight Howard entered the league in 2004, he was the ideal big man who could get the ball in the post and score underneath the basket. However, the NBA has gotten away from that in recent years, which meant Howard had to learn how to run the court and put back rebounds instead.

1. Anthony Davis
   Kyle Lowry
2. Zach Randolph
   Al Horford

Anthony Davis' production on the court has earned him a place in six All-Star Games during the 2010s. In the 2017 All-Star Game, Davis exploded on offense, scoring 52 points to take home the All-Star Game MVP.

1. Jamal Crawford
   John Wall
2. J.J. Redick
   Lou Williams

Playing in a reserve role most of his career, Lou Williams is an immediate spark for any offense as soon as he hits the court. His play as a bench player has earned him three NBA Sixth Man of the Year awards.

1. Goran Dragic
   Marc Gasol
2. Pau Gasol
   Tony Parker

Marc Gasol's skillset goes well beyond the offensive side of the ball. More than a willing defender, Gasol was named the NBA Defensive Player of the Year in 2013 while also making the All-Defensive Team that year.

1. John Wall
   Mike Conley
2. Kyle Lowry
   Jrue Holiday

The 2019 NBA Finals pitted the Toronto Raptors against the Golden State Warriors in a matchup that went six games with the Raptors coming out on top. Kyle Lowry was one of the best offensive weapons on the Raptors, averaging 16.2 points and 7.2 assists per game.

1. Thaddeus Young
   Kobe Bryant
2. Joe Johnson
   John Wall

Between the start of the 2017-18 season and the end of the 2018-19 season, John Wall only played in 73 regular season games. However, he was still a threat to score 20 points on any given night that he was on the court.

1. Zach Randolph
   Jamal Crawford
2. Bradley Beal
   Al Jefferson

Few bench players in NBA history have been as gifted at scoring as Jamal Crawford, who has over 10,000 career points as a backup. However, he didn't really settle into that role until the 2009-10 season when he won his first of three NBA Sixth Man of the Year awards.

1. Mike Conley
   Jrue Holiday
2. Joe Johnson
   J.J. Redick

After 12 seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies, Mike Conley finally departed the team after the 2018-19 season when it traded him to the Utah Jazz. The trade ended an era in Memphis, where Conley helped the team reach the playoffs on six occasions.

1. Zach Randolph
   Wesley Matthews
2. Thaddeus Young
   Pau Gasol

In 2013-14, Thaddeus Young had the best scoring season of his career playing for the Philadelphia 76ers. Starting 78 games that season, Young averaged 17.9 points per game on 45 percent shooting.

1. Pau Gasol
   Serge Ibaka
2. Eric Gordon
   Goran Dragic

Goran Dragic had one of the best games of his career in Game 3 of the 2010 Western Conference Semifinals while playing for the Phoenix Suns. In the game, Dragic scored 23 points in the fourth quarter to help the Suns come back against the San Antonio Spurs.

1. Wesley Matthews
   Joe Johnson
2. Jrue Holiday
   Bradley Beal

Jrue Holiday started the 2010s with the Philadelphia 76ers, where he came on strong in his final season with the team in 2012-13. Throughout the course of that season, he averaged 17.7 points and eight assists per game, earning his first and only All-Star selection.

1. Zach Randolph
   Pau Gasol
2. Al Horford
   Al Jefferson

Even though Zach Randolph retired in 2019, he didn't see any playing time that season, as he was on two rosters that were looking to rebuild. However, the last time he saw action in 2017-18, Randolph averaged 14.5 points per game, showing just how much of an offensive threat he was during his career.

1. Joe Johnson
   Eric Gordon
2. J.J. Redick
   Jeff Teague

While playing for the Duke Blue Devils from 2002 through 2006, J.J. Redick showed off his scoring prowess, becoming Duke's all-time leading scorer. For his contributions, Duke retired his jersey.

1. Bradley Beal
   Tyreke Evans
2. Wesley Matthews
   Jeff Green

For a player who went undrafted in 2009, Wesley Matthews sure has left his impact over the last decade in the NBA. The gifted shooting guard became a starter during his first season in the league and has remained in that role for most of his professional career.

1. Joe Johnson
   Pau Gasol
2. Serge Ibaka
   Gordon Hayward

Entering the league in 2001, Pau Gasol has spent nearly two decades in the NBA playing at a high level. Gasol was able to put himself at the top of the scoring list with a variety of offensive moves from midrange jumpers to hook shots.

1. Kobe Bryant
   Bradley Beal
2. Tony Parker
   Derrick Rose

A two-time scoring champion, Kobe Bryant retired from the NBA ranked in the top five on the all-time scoring list, finishing his career with 33,643 points. Known as the ultimate competitor, Bryant won his fifth NBA championship in 2010 to kick off the decade.

1. Al Jefferson
   Eric Gordon
2. Jeff Green
   Joe Johnson

Carrying the nickname "Iso Joe," Joe Johnson was never afraid to clear out a defense and go one on one with a defender. His skill on isolation plays made him a fan favorite with the Atlanta Hawks, where he made six of his seven All-Star Games.
