NBA 2024-25 Stats: Players with most points, rebounds, assists, three-pointers

Season NBA 2024-25 so far has thrown up no singular leader across multiple categories.

The NBA has always projected incredible individual talents to dominate specific aspects of the game across its history. With each league, we have had diverse players emerge to claim statistical leadership, ranging from those unstoppable scorers to those rebounding machines in glass control.

What makes basketball so interesting is that these statistical categories tell totally different stories: some became legends because they were scoring artists like Wilt Chamberlain’s then-famous 100-point game or Michael Jordan’s multiple scoring titles, while others impressed because they led the league in assists, making them artists at putting teammates into better positions to perform.

The nature of the game has evolved how these statistical milestones appear. Way back, centers comprised most the categories-from scoring to rebounding. As time passed by, we saw different specialists on court—pure shooters, defensive specialists, and playmaking point guards. But of course, the most interesting development is that it was crossed out in many traditional roles as players can be versatile on many statistical categories.

Season by season, the competition over statistical supremacy has been an interesting subplot of the NBA campaign, another way that affords fans to debate upon excellence and greatness on field. These numbers tell a lot more than individual success—they represent how basketball changed and is still changing:

Points in NBA 2024-25

Points are the simplest measurement of scoring in basketball. Regular shots within the arc bring 2 points while shots made beyond the arc earn 3, and all free throws earn a point. The scoring of high points on a regular basis tends to give players nicknames such as “bucket-getters” or “scoring machines.”

Scoring has evolved from generation to generation. From the main key that featured close-range shooting to incorporating more long-range shooting, it has continually changed.

Assists in NBA 2024-25

Think of assists as the art of helping teammates score. A player gets an assist when they pass the ball to a teammate who scores within a few steps or seconds after getting the pass. It’s akin to being the person who sets up the perfect opportunity for someone else to score.

The best point guards are often known as great playmakers because they find open teammates and create scoring opportunities for others, racking up a lot of assists.

Three-Pointers in NBA 2024-25

Three-pointers are shots from behind the three-point line. The three-point line is an arc that curves around the basket. Basketball was brought into the NBA in 1979. Such long shots are worth 3 points instead of 2. It has changed the game of basketball.

The spacing of the court is increased. The small, skilled shooter has become as important as a tall player. The NBA of today is a place where three-point shooting is of great value as an offense weapon.

Rebounds in NBA

Rebounds occur when players obtain the missed shots, either by their team (offensive rebounds) or by the opponent (defensive rebounds). Imagine cleaning up the missed shots – when the ball bounces off the rim or backboard, players battle to catch it.

The tall players can often do a great job of rebounding, but timing and positioning are just as important as height. Strong rebounders help their team obtain extra possessions and prevent opponents from scoring second-chance points.

Here’s a simple overview of the current top players in key stats across major categories:
