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

    Wemby is the only one I think has a chance and he has a long climb to get there. But his ceiling represents a different kind of unstoppable than anyone else in the league currently.

      I don’t think he’s ever going to have the conditioning to average over 37ppg, and also his defense is just to good and probably takes too much energy away from his offense.
