How difficult is it to average 35+ per game in a single season? Only 6 people in NBA history have done it, better than Kobe and Harden only once, and the great God 6 times

The NBA 25-26 season has started in full swing, and all the great players have also staged various scoring battles at the beginning of the season. 50+ and 40+ emerge in endlessly, and the average is as many as 30+ per game! This also makes fans ask, will anyone in the NBA average 35+ points per game this season?

Is there any player who can average 35+ per game this season? It’s hard to say this, because it’s so difficult! In the history of the NBA, only 6 players have completed the feat of 35+ points in a single season. Kobe and Harden have only completed it once, but there is a god who has completed it 6 times!

Elgin-Baylor!

As a Lakers legend, Baylor is also a tragic hero. His career can be called luxurious, and he can be said to be at the top from his debut to his retirement. But unfortunately, he just retired and the Lakers also happened to win the championship. He is also considered a player who has not won a championship in his career!

Baylor's personal dominance is still full! In the 1961-62 season, Baylor played in 44 games, averaging 38.3 points, 18.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. His personal dominance was evident. In terms of scoring, Baylor definitely reached the top!

Rick Barry!

Barry is definitely a legendary player in the NBA with a very brilliant career. When it comes to his representative season, it is undoubtedly the 1966-67 season. He played 78 games and averaged 35.6 points and 9.2 rebounds per game. Such data in that era also shows Barry's excellent shooting ability!

Kobe!

Kobe’s fans are really countless, too many. In addition to being impressed by his autumn, they are also impressed by his Mamba spirit. The most glorious time of Kobe’s career was not the season when he won the MVP, nor when he won two consecutive championships, but the 2005-06 season, his great personal performance!

O'Neal left and his teammates were of average strength, which led Kobe to start a personal crazy scoring mode, which reached its peak in the 2005-06 season, with 40+, 50+, and 60+ consecutively, including scoring the second highest score in a single game in the NBA with 81 points, which is much more valuable than Chamberlain's 100 points in a single game! Kobe's talent was undoubtedly on display. He also averaged explosive data of 35.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game that season, making it Kobe's most shocking season!

Harden!

Although Harden's scoring ability is not obvious now and he focuses more on organization, his previous explosive scoring performance gave the entire league a headache!

In the 18-19 season, Harden's personal performance reached its peak. He played in 78 games, averaging 36.8 minutes per game, scoring 36.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 2 steals. The field goal percentage was 44.2% and the three-point shooting percentage was 36.8%. He became another player after Kobe to reach an average of 35+ per game in a single season, and it even improved to 36+. After Harden, no player has reached this level!

Jordan!

As a player who has won the scoring title for 10 consecutive seasons, Jordan has basically reached the peak in terms of scoring. Except for ancient times, no one can surpass him. In Jordan's career, he averaged 35+ points per game in 2 seasons.

When Jordan first entered the NBA, he performed explosively. However, in his second season, he encountered a lot of injuries. However, in the next season after recovering from his injuries, Jordan showed even greater dominance!

In the 1986-1987 season, Jordan started his scoring performance, playing 82 games, averaging 40 minutes per game, scoring 37.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.9 steals, and 1.5 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 48.2%. This was the season with the highest scoring average in Jordan's career!

In the 1987-88 season, Jordan played 82 games, averaging 40.4 minutes per game, scoring 35 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists, shooting 53.5% from the field, and scored 35+ again! However, Jordan is still relatively young in these two seasons. Although his personal performance is invincible, he has not yet made a breakthrough in leading the team. But that is why the fans also appreciate Jordan's ultimate performance!

Chamberlain!

Speaking of personal scoring performance, there is a mountain that can never be crossed in the NBA, and that is Chamberlain, who averaged 35+ per game five times in his career.

Played 72 games in the 1959-60 season, averaging 46.4 minutes per game, scoring 37.6 points, 27 rebounds and 2.3 assists, and shooting 46.1% from the field.

Played 79 games in the 1960-61 season, averaging 47.8 minutes per game, scoring 38.4 points, 27.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists, and shooting 50.9% from the field.

Played 80 games in the 1961-62 season, averaging 48.5 minutes per game, scoring 50.4 points, 25.7 rebounds, and 2.4 assists, and shooting 50.6% from the field.

Played 80 games in the 1962-63 season, averaging 47.6 minutes per game, scoring 44.8 points, 24.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists, and shooting 52.8% from the field.

Played 80 games in the 1963-64 season, averaging 46.1 minutes per game, scoring 36.9 points, 22.3 rebounds and 5 assists, and shooting 52.4% from the field.

Speaking of this season, the most promising player to reach 35+ points is undoubtedly Doncic. He played in 4 games, 3 of which exceeded 40 points, averaging as high as 41.3 points per game, which is terrifying! According to Doncic's state, averaging 35+ per game is not a problem, but when James comes back, Doncic won't have as much possession of the ball, and there are also injuries. It's hard to say whether he can continue to average 35+!
