Every NBA player to average 30 points per game in a season
Statistical milestones in the NBA don’t hit with the same punch. That’s because, other than single-game totals, everything is seen in per-game averages. In the NHL, a player can score, say, 50 goals or have 100 points. In the NFL quarterbacks throw for 5,000 yards and pass rushers pick up 20 sacks. What do we do with the NBA? Well, averaging 30 points per game is a nice round number, and one that has not been hit by many players. In fact, only 36 players in NBA history have done it. There are those players, from the one-timers to the regulars.
