In this load management era? Nobody.
Josh King III in nba2k17 franchise mode did this for 22 consecutive seasons
Jaden Hardy, should he get the opportunity to be the first option and do whatever he wants, like if he was in Charlotte or something like that.
Luka if Kyrie were to get injured and he had the conditioning/injury-free season to play 82 games.
You basically have to be able to play 82 games, but a scorer with that much usage is either getting rested and playing closer to 70-ish games, or is getting themselves minorly injured throughout the season and sitting out a few games every once in a while.
Kinda insane that neither Kobe nor Harden reached that milestone
Harden needed 5 more games at his PPG to get it and he played 78 games. He would have had to play those 4 more games, averaging 45 PPG, to do it.
My pick would have been a healthy Giannis but his scoring is bound to dip a little with Lillard. Maybe Tatum? Looking at last years leaders, he's the closest in terms of games played, which would be the biggest factor.
Luka if he ever plays 82 games and continues to be ball dominant
Nobody in the near future. Dynamic of the entire league has to change for it to happen. Too much load management, minutes reductions, etc.

What is a "season" moving forward?
If "tournaments" and "play ins" are not part of a season, and the season games decrease - Any record season totals are not likely to ever be broken at that point.
If the play in gets extended as part of the regular season, and the playoffs shortened, then regular season total records would go up, and playoff totals would go down.
None of the current active ones.
Seasons like Jordans, Harden's, and Kobe's are like... once every 15~20 year type things.
The amount of games guys play these days, too - he'd have to average well over 36ppg
Steph Curry this season
The way load management has been unless the NBA steps in and actually do something about it like they claim they r gonna do it won’t ever happen players r just not playing enough games.
I hope this works and that players don’t try to play 66 games we will see it’s crazy it has even come to this.

Booker
People saying it won’t happen but it will at some point. Depends on how some of these guys develop and how the rules change.
Just need a high pace team with a legendary player.
Maybe Luka if Kyrie misses a big chunk of the season.
If Harden didnt do it i’m not sure anyone will do it soon, because it got pretty gross tbh.
You'd have to average 37 or so and you'd have to play every game. Or average 40 and miss a few. Not gonna happen. Ever.
No one plays enough games.
That's pretty crazy Kobe played 80 games in 05-06
No one is going to do it, they won't play nearly enough games, play nearly enough minutes and don't have the care to work hard enough to put in that much effort, even if their coach allowed them to take that many shots in the first place.
