2) Michael Jordan at 34 years and 62 days, 1996-1997 season (29.6 ppg) = won a championship

3) Michael Jordan at 33 years and 64 days, 1995-1996 season (30.4 ppg) = won a championship

4) Jerry West at 31 years and 322 days, 1969-1970 season (31.2 ppg) = lost in finals game 7

Kobe....?

Ummm, did you read the title of this thread? It talks about scoring champions.

inb4 anyone can be a scoring champ if they take as many shots as they want.

When someone says that they are usually not speaking of some 5 ppg scrub or a totally inept offensive starter like DeAndre Jordan. They are most often alluding to any top 10-15 scorer.

It might have an * if he does. Scoring champion shooting under 39%. Many would look at it as if the only reason he won it was because he forced the issue and gunned for it and not something organic.

Doubtful on the asterisks notion based on the fact that he's 36, recently surgically repaired, and playing on an unimpressive team.

Really, you really think that Kobe playing the way he is is going to stop people from bringing it up because he's 36 and came off of bad injuries? Always these excuses. If anything it's more of a reason for him to pass the ball every once in a while. The guy is trying so hard to win the scoring title, not passing, just shooting everything, forcing the issue, saving his energy on defense, but that's admirable because he's 36. It's just so funny.

Can Kobe become the oldest scoring champion ever?

He certainly plans to take enough shots to...and he's going need all 25.

[kennethgriffin]

good luck with that

Even of kobe didnt appear in 70 games. Hes averagibg 28 ppg

He needs 1400 minimun. And 1400 divided by 28 is Only 50 games

Kobe could play that in his sleep

[plowking]

probably shouldn't be by age but how many seasons played in the league... the kids coming out of high school and the one and dones will be setting records when their age may be younger but the miles on their legs will be greater

This is so overplayed.

They were playing basketball everyday before they came into the league, and they simply continue playing it.
