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

Actually if you adjust for pace and mpg, Kobe 06 is the best scoring season, followed by Harden 19 then Jordan 87 (admittedly Wilt isn't included in that list but pace was crazy back then, think his 50ppg worked out to around 30ppg with modern pace).
