Career per-game averages and championship seasons from the season tables stored on each profile (Wikipedia revisions, CC BY-SA 4.0). Legends without a stored season table (for example where the source keeps career statistics on a separate page) or with fewer than three NBA seasons are not listed, so leaders are within this list only. Rebounds were not recorded in the NBA before 1950–51, and steals and blocks before 1973–74.
