How difficult is it for the NBA to pick two scoring champions in the same draft? There are only 4 editions in history that can do it, the 84 diamond generation is missing, and the 03 platinum generation deserves it!
There are too many excellent scorers in NBA history, the basketball god Jordan 10-time scoring champion, the ancient beast Chamberlain 7 times topped the scoring list, the four quarterbacks after Jordan, the Thunder three less, and so on. Although Jordan and Chamberlain are invincible, they are also the sorrow of their contemporaries, because they are too strong, and Jordan has only two players in one draft before who can win the scoring title. After Jordan, the four quartiles bloomed, and there were only a few times in the NBA league where two or more drafters won the scoring title.
