The most points ever averaged by an NBA player in their 21st season was 7.6 by Vince Carter. LeBron James, currently in his 21st season, is averaging 9.8. In the fourth quarter alone. His total average right now is 24.6.

Eric Money became the first and only NBA player to score for both teams in a single game. Referee Richie Powers made too many officiating mistakes in the November 1978 game between the 76'ers and the Nets, resulting in the game being suspended and the last quarter of the match being replayed at a later date, by which time Money had been transferred from the Nets to the 76'ers
