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
At some point Trae Young will get tired of his current playstyle since it doesn’t lead to a lot of winning. He will turn into a score first guard. And he will go crazy. I don’t think the Hawks will make a huge jump but his scoring numbers will.
