Jordan's 1986-87 season was outrageous - 37 PPG, 27.8 FGA, 38.2 USG%, 82 Games

Who do think can tie or break Jordan's single season PPG record in the next 5 years? I think the most likely candidates are 1) Embiid (no explanation needed) 2) KD (if he chucks aggressively and doesn't care about his efficiency), and 3) Luka (if he pretends he's getting re-married every week)

Harden has gotten the closest in recent memory during the 2018-19 season - 36 PPG, 24.5 FGA, 40.3 USG%, 78 Games

I think hardens 36 was as close as we are likely to see. When I compared them I actually thought hardens season was more impressive if you take assists into account

Just take minutes into account. Harden got 36 in 36 minutes and Jordan got 37 in 40 minutes.
