Greatest scoring seasons in history..

[BlazerRed]

If Durant continues this level for the rest of the season

[no pun intended]

I would like to note that '83 Dantley missed 60 games that season.

Yeah, true.

AI, dude. 31.4 PPG on 49% TS. He's not even close to being a "great" scorer.

I love how the graph had to be larger, just like the painted area, solely because of Wilt.

This is before or after FT subtraction?

He is, dude had to practically score all his team's points, there was no real scoring threat on his team so he had to do it all.

Now do a graph of PPG vs Number of Mountain Lions Killed with Bare Hands.
