The top 5 NBA scoring champions: Jordan stands out for 10 times, Durant AI tied for third!

Scoring King is one of the brightest honors in the NBA stars. It not only represents the player's scoring ability, but also an absolute recognition of his continued dominance throughout the season. In the NBA's nearly 80 years of history, the scoring champion is the highest award for evaluating the scoring ability of a single season, with extremely high gold content. This award motivates competition among NBA star players and occupies an important position in multi-party evaluations. However, even legendary super giants like Harden, O'Neal and Jabbar missed the top five in the scoring number of times, just because the top five are too powerful.

05 The three great masters tied for third place: 4 scoring kings

have three players who have won 4 NBA scoring kings, namely Iverson, Durant and George Gervin. George Gervin won the scoring champion for four consecutive seasons between 1977 and 1982, with 27.2 points, 29.6 points, 33.1 points and 32.2 points respectively. As a Spurs celebrity, "Iceman" Gerwen is famous for his elegant fingertips to pick up baskets in the league. Allen Iverson's four scoring champions were 26.8 points per game in the 1998-99 season, 31.1 points in the 2000-01 season, 31.4 points in the 2001-02 season and 30.7 points in the 2004-05 season. As a short guard who is only 1.80 meters tall, it is not easy for Iverson to win the scoring champion four times. He averaged 27.8 shots per game in the 2001-02 season, but his shooting percentage was only 39.8%, which also made one of his scoring champions slightly controversial. Kevin Durant averaged 30.1 points per game in the 2009-10 season, 27.7 points in the 2010-11 season, 28.0 points in the 2011-12 season and 32.0 points in the 2013-14 season. The average of 27.7 points per game in the 2010-11 season is the second lowest in the 21st century scoring champion.

04 Wilt Chamberlain: 7-time scoring champion

"Basketball Emperor" Chamberlain won the NBA scoring champion seven times. His scoring data is jaw-dropping: 37.6 points per game in the 1959-60 season, 38.4 points per game in the 1960-61 season, 50.4 points per game in the 1961-62 season, 44.8 points per game in the 1962-63 season, 36.9 points per game in the 1963-64 season, 34.7 points per game in the 1964-65 season and 33.5 points per game in the 1965-66 season. Chamberlain averaged 50.4 points per game in the 1961-62 season and scored a record of 4,029 points in a single season total score, which is the only performance of 4,000+ points in NBA history.

03 Michael Jordan: 10 scoring champion

Jordan won 10 NBA scoring champion, and is the first person in history! His glory needs no need to say much, and his performance on the court is far beyond what the data can see. Jordan won the scoring champion for seven consecutive seasons between 1986 and 1993, with the other three being the 1995-96 season, 1996-97 season and 1997-98 season. In the 86-87 season, Jordan played 82 times, averaging 37.1 points per game and scored 3041 points in a single season. This is the only time in the past three decades that a single season of 3000+. Jordan is the only player in NBA history to average more than 30 points per game. What's even more terrifying is that his average score per game in the playoffs was higher than the regular season and his average score per game in the finals was higher than the playoffs. If Jordan was determined to brush up the data, his data achievements might be even more incredible.

02 The value and controversy of the scoring king

Although the scoring king has dazzling honors, there are also some controversial situations. For example, in the 2003-04 season, McGrady was elected as the scoring leader with 28.0 points, but the Magic he led only achieved a bottom record of 21 wins and 61 losses in the Eastern Conference, which is extremely rare in the long history of the NBA. For example, in the 2014-15 season, Westbrook won the first point leader with 28.1 points per game, but his shooting percentage was only 42.6%, and his three-point shooting percentage was as low as 29.9%, which made people doubt his scoring power.

01 The relationship between the scoring champion and the total scoring champion

Interestingly, players with more scoring champions do not necessarily rank at the top of the historical total scoring list. The top five players in the NBA's history total scoring list are: 1. LeBron James 2. Kareem Jabbar 3. Carl Malone 4. Kobe Bryant 5. Michael Jordan. Although Jabbar is second in total score in history, he only scored twice. James has only scored once so far, but he has become the number one person in history to score. The number of scorers in

shows that long-term stable output is equally important, not only explosive, but also durable. Jordan's 10-time scoring record is probably difficult to break. Chamberlain's seven times are like a towering mountain, standing in the long river of history. Later, the super giant was afraid that he could only look up to him, and it was unimaginable to surpass him!
