Next up on the list is Timberwolves forward Kevin Garnett, who had 26,029 points heading into tonight's action. In face, the guys ahead of Garnett (Clippers forward Paul Pierce and Spurs center Tim Duncan) are also still active. Here's the full list via Basketball-Reference, although it hasn't been updated to reflect LeBron passing English yet.
