MJ: 10 scoring titles in 11 full seasons as a Bull.

[ClipperRevival]

The only time he didn't win it (full season) was his rookie year. But he wasn't too shabby as he put up 28.2. In 1986 he only played 18 games and in 1995, he only played 17 games.

The rest of the time with the Bulls, the guy won the scoring title. This is what the GOAT does. Complete domination from start to finish. He won his last 3 scoring titles at the age of 33, 34 and 35.

You take away his Wizards years and his career scoring average as a Bull is 31.5 ppg, a whole 1.5 points better than Wilt (who is 2nd all time). And that was with a shooting pct of .505%.

It was painful seeing him kill my Jazz, but as time goes by, it is easier to appreciate his greatness.

The 2nd best scorer that era was basically a Paul George



Not impressed.

It's gotta suck playing in the same era as the GOAT. I always thought the Jazz team of that era was the closest thing to the Spurs of this era in that they never beat themselves and were the most fundamentally sound and disciplined team around. You really had to beat them because they would rarely beat themselves.

But Barkley, Drexler, Magic and Kemp/Payton all fell victim to MJ.

More important, and less often mentioned, is that Jordan won ten PLAYOFF scoring titles.

GOAT. gonna. GOAT.

And it's more than reasonable, though speculation, to assume he could and would have won both of those scoring titles had he played full seasons. Regardless, you're talking anywhere from 4,000-5,000 points lost which would have put him in striking distance of Kareem. But, can't change history and what-ifs

I think it's pretty obvious he would've won. I mean besides his rookie year, anytime he played enough games to qualify for the scoring title, he won it, including his last season at the age of 35.

umm, Malone? Hakeem? D-Rob? Ewing? Barkley? Shaq?

Malone, Hakeem and Shaq are top 10 all-time in scoring as well...

late 80s-90s was the era where the dominant scorers were mostly big men, but you also had guys like Drexler, Glen Rice, Reggie Miller, Penny, Kevin Johnson, Grant Hill, Chris Mullin, Tim Hardaway, Gary Payton, Nique, who were elite perimeter players and could drop 20-30 on any given night.

Big men dominated most of the era, which makes MJ's 6 titles even greater.

You had multiple bigs that averaged 30 a game in some seasons and post-seasons, you had tons of elite perimeter defenders and multiple guys that averaged 20+ points/10+ assists/2+ steals a game...Chris Paul is the only point guard in recent memory that can do that consistently in this era.

Today's league has shifted from the front court to the perimeter due to all the rule changes and lack of talent on that end, but the 90s had even more overall talent to me when I look back.
