How difficult is it to score 3,000 points in a single season in the NBA? It reminds me of the famous saying in Li Bai's works, "The road to Shu is difficult, but it is difficult to reach the sky!"

How difficult it is to score 3,000 points in the NBA. ? How many games do you need to play and how many points do you need to score in each game to reach this record?

To achieve this goal, two conditions need to be met. The first is the number of games played, and the second is the average points scored per game. We know that the current NBA plays 82 games in the regular season every season, so 3000 divided by 82 is about 36.6, which means that players need to play 82 games full-time and score at least 36.6 points in each game. Only by meeting these requirements at the same time Two conditions are required to obtain 3000 points.

So it is not easy to score 3,000 points in a single season. It's possible for someone to score more than 36.6 points in one or a few games, but it's really hard to score that number in every game for 82 games. This requires players to stay healthy and full attendance, two conditions that are indispensable. It's really difficult, because it's very difficult to play in all 82 games and become the main force of the team!

Although it is very difficult, some people still do it. Which player did it?

As of now, only two players in NBA history have scored 3,000 points in a single season. The two are respectively the "ancient beast" Chamberlain and the "basketball god" Michael Jordan. Other players haven't done it yet.

First place: Chamberlain scored 3,000 points in a single season 3 times

Chamberlain is known as "Dashuai Zhang" and "Twenty Thousand Zhang" because of his super physical talent. Data shows how terrifying it is for Chamberlain to score 3,000 points in a single season?

Chamberlain scored 3,000 points three times in a single season, namely:

1. In the 1960-1961 season, there were only 9 NBA teams in that era and played 80 regular games in a season. race. Chamberlain represented the Philadelphia Warriors in 79 regular season games, averaging 47.8 minutes per game, scoring a total of 3,033 points, and averaging 38.4 points and 27.2 rebounds per game.

2. In the 1961-1962 season, Chamberlain played all 80 regular season games on behalf of the Philadelphia Warriors, averaging 48.5 minutes per game and scoring a total of 4,029 points (the only 4,000 points in history). Averaged 50.4 points and 25.7 rebounds. ?, this is a monster-level body, no wonder it is called "Zhang Twenty Thousand". What’s even crazier is that this season, Dashuai Zhang scored 50 points in 45 games and 60 points in 15 games. Maku Sakukin's 100 points were scored that season. You know, since Jordan retired for the second time in 1998, he has only scored 60 points a dozen times. What a monster-level body this is!

3. In the 1962-1963 season, Chamberlain played for the Philadelphia Warriors in the 80th regular season, averaging 47.6 minutes per game, 3,586 points per game, and 44.8 points and 24.3 rebounds per game.

Summary: Chamberlain scored 3,000 points for three consecutive seasons, including 4,000 points in one season. Such a desperate achievement, I am afraid that it will be out of reach for future generations.

Second place: Jordan once reached 3,000 points in a single season

Jordan only scored more than 3,000 points in a single season once in his career. ? In the 1986-1987 season, there were 23 teams in the NBA. That season, Jordan played 82 games, averaging 40 minutes per game, scoring a total of 3,041 points, and averaging 37.1 points per game.

Jordan is the only player in the modern game to score 3,000 points in a single season. No player has achieved that feat since. Because Jordan's era was a period of rapid development of the NBA, there were many NBA teams and there were many battles between teams, so there was a lot of data.

Players who have reached 2800 points in a single season. If the scope is expanded to 2800 points in a single season, then more players will complete it.

1. In the 1963-1964 season, Chamberlain played 73 regular season games on behalf of the San Francisco Warriors, scoring a total of 2,948 points and averaging 36.9 points per game. For Zhang Shuai, this score is indeed a bit low. Despite scoring 36.9 points, no active player has averaged that many points per game in a single season.

2. In the 1987-1988 season, Jordan played 82 regular season games for the Bulls, scoring a total of 2,868 points, averaging 35 points per game.

3. In the 2005-2006 season, Kobe played 80 regular season games for the Lakers, scoring a total of 2,862 points and averaging 35.4 points per game. This season, Kobe started a scoring explosion mode. That season, he scored a miracle of 81 points, second only to Chamberlain's 100 points.

4. In the 1974-1975 season, Bob McAdoo played 82 regular season games for the Warriors. He scored a total of 2,831 points and averaged 34.5 points per game.

5. In the 1971-1972 season, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar played 81 regular season games for the Bucks, scoring a total of 2,822 points and averaging 34.8 points per game.

6. In the 2018-2019 season, Harden played 78 regular season games for the Rockets, scoring a total of 2,818 points and averaging 36.1 points per game. This is also the only highest score among active players.
