Jordan’s 1986-87 season was outrageous - 37 PPG, 27.8 FGA, 38.2 USG%, 82 Games

Who do think can tie or break Jordan’s single season PPG record in the next 5 years? I think the most likely candidates are 1) Embiid (no explanation needed) 2) KD (if he chucks aggressively and doesn’t care about his efficiency), and 3) Luka (if he pretends he’s getting re-married every week)

Harden has gotten the closest in recent memory during the 2018-19 season - 36 PPG, 24.5 FGA, 40.3 USG%, 78 Games

    Is it even a record ? Wilt scored 50ppg no ?

    But even then, I don’t think anyone will pass MJ, unless it’s on a tanking/injured team where the superstar’s high usage is the only option.
