I hardly think scoring champ should ve the one with most points in general than most ppg. Its not Tatums fault for eg that he played more games than Embid. As in all time leading scorers we look at most points global, not most ppg. Thats the top scorer.
Create a new scoring title stat (because there aren’t enough already). It’ll only be applied to two players and determine which one wins the scoring title. Take the player (A) who has the most points and divide those points by the PPG of the player (B) with the highest PPG. Then for player B, take their total points and divide it by the PPG of player A.
That way if someone has an absurd PPG, but misses the total by a few points due to injury, they can win, but having a slightly better PPG and an injury or load management won’t win out over someone who got higher counting stats by playing all season.
Using this method, to beat a hypothetical player scoring 30 ppg and playing every game (2460 pts), a scoring champ with 31 ppg would need to play 77 games to win (2387 pts), 32 ppg would need 73 games (2336 pts), and 33 ppg would require only 68 games (2244 pts).
Looking at the finer margins, I think this method favors high PPG, so maybe tipping the scales a bit by squaring the point totals or dividing by both ppg and points totals for the other player (or both methods) to make total points a bit more valued. For example squaring both player’s point totals and dividing by their opponent’s point total as ppg makes that hypothetical 33 ppg player play 73 games and score 2409 points (with 73 games, 32.75 ppg and 2390 points would beat our 30ppg ironman).
