2,000 points in a single season in the NBA is not difficult, and 2,500 points in a single season is also done by many people. However, with 3,000 points in a single season, only a handful of people have done it, and in any case, since 75 years, it has been done by 2 people. With 3,000 points in a single season, you need to average at least 37 points per game and play 82 games, which is almost impossible. So who are these two great gods, let's get to know.
The first to do this feat was the ancient star Oxlade-Chamberlain, who wanted to score points in his time, and Chamberlain was a probing bag. Chamberlain averaged 79 games with 38.4 points per game in his second season and 3,000 points in a single season the following year. In the third year that followed, he averaged 80 games with 50.4 points per game, breaking 4,000 points in a single season. Chamberlain in the Warriors era is invincible, and the 7-time scoring champion is not difficult at all.
There is also a guess that everyone guessed, he is Jordan. Jordan was at the peak of his debut, averaging 28.2 points per game in his rookie year, and then improved every season, and by the 1987 season he was at the peak of his offense. He averaged 37.1 points per game in 82 games and scored 3,000+ points in a single season. Averaging 30 points per game throughout his career, Jordan's offense is simply too arrogant, and if it were not for the peak retirement, he would have scored a few more.
Bryant averaged 35.4 points per game in the 2006 season, a year he made a miracle of 81 points. It's just a pity that Kobe Bryant averaged 35.4 points this time, played 80 games, or failed to break through 3,000 points.
After that is Harden, whether you like it or not, the Rockets really have no solution in those years of winning the scoring. The 2019 season averaged 36.1 points per game, but unfortunately played 78 games, which is less than 200 points away from 3,000 points.
Don't look at the NBA is now the era of small ball, now the group atmosphere is rampant, the ball distribution is a problem. It is difficult to have such a crazy scoring season in the future, so the miracle of 3,000 points in a single season is likely to be fixed on Chamberlain and Jordan, what do you think?
