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

    The top 10 is looking like Wilt Wilt Wilt MJ Wilt MJ Harden, MJ, Big O, Harden

    If you count elgin baylor’s 48(only) games, then he’s top 3. Without that, the Top 3 scoring machine off all time(w atleast 68 games) in a single season are as follows:

    Wilt

    MJ

    Harden(the only active player in top 10)

      Oh I 100% agree that Harden is under appreciated. At his peak, can we say a top 5 offensive player of all time?
