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

Weren’t those MJ teams not very good? Like first round exits or not even making playoffs

Jordan made the playoffs every year he was on the Bulls.

And yes, he lost in the first round, but I wouldn't say the team wasn't good. They were a middle of the pack team with decent role players like Paxson and Oakley. The problem in the playoffs is that the Bulls played the Celtics, the defending champions and the #1 seed in the East, a team that had 4 HOFers on the roster.
