[ESPN Stats and Info] Luka Dončić will finish the season with 32.4 points per game. Joel Embiid can’t finish worse than 32.6. Embiid will become the first center to win back-to-back scoring titles since Bob McAdoo did it three straight seasons (1974-76).

MVP
Crazy expectations this post season
Finals minimum
MVP and two scoring titles. Hall of fame shit
That’s my foul baiter
If he doesn’t win MVP this sub will implode
That’s my foul merchant
Bob McAdoo is Joel Embiid father
But srsly, Embiid has been crazy this season
His offense is misunderstood.
I Ugh I wish he could just try to assist more instead of scoring
Scoring title and all nba level defense is easy MVP. Idgaf what the shnorps, vorps, raptors, and triceratops say
Guaranteed first ballot Hall of Famer, even if he were to retire immediately after this season.
MVP and 2 scoring titles, if he doesn’t make it to ECF minimum this season then he’s gonna get clowned on so hard
Welcome to the Hall of Fame, Joel
Luka gifted scoring title to embiid
Tatum has more total points.
Cuban about to file a protest to remove the Suns game where Luka got hurt 1 minute in.
Let Luka go out and try to score 79 on Sunday a la David Robinson on the last game of the year.
That old scoring title trophy was so dope. The new ones are way worse.
Historic scoring peak
We can fit so many ox-power in our center.
Embiid will also likely finish at 33.1 PPG, which would be the 10th highest scoring season in history by a center, the highest in almost 50 years since Bob McAdoo in 74/75, and just behind Wilt Chamberlain’s 65/66 season. Kareem Adbul-Jabbar only has one season averaging more PPG than Joel Embiid this season.
How’s that for some fucking narratives.
Dude. This is random but for so many years, I always pictured Bob McAdoo when I hear Austin Carr (Cavs commentator) say “Throw that hamma down!”.
>Embiid will become the first center to win back-to-back scoring titles since Bob McAdoo did it three straight seasons (1974-76).
McAdoo never made it past the second round those three seasons, and was eliminated by the Celtics twice in that span. Solid comp.
Scoring **average** title
Dudes efficient 7′ Kobe.
They should announce the MVP during the second round. It at least it will take some of the sting out of watching Giannis and Tatum battle in the ECF when Embiid gets to watch it with his MVP trophy.
Imagine being able to *average* 32 points over the course of a season in the National Basketball Association
Clippers legend. McAdoo is underrated and underappreciated.
Wow, since Bob McAdoo?!?
MVP
God I wish Luka hands in a trade request and escapes this ckown organisation asap
Best thing is people have been saying for like 3 years that he had peaked and would be all downhill. And then every year after he has actually improved as a player.
His talent is so inmense and unparalleled we actually dont know if this is his prime yet.
Seasons not over yet, Malik Beasley could put up like 1500 points tomorrow and take the scoring title
