PPG by Career Year
Who Had the Better Longevity?
LeBron has played 22 seasons and counting, maintaining All-Star caliber play into his 40s. He holds the all-time scoring record, has 20 All-Star selections, and 13 All-NBA First Team selections. His ability to sustain elite production across two decades is unprecedented in basketball history.
Who Had the Better Peak?
Jordan's peak seasons from 1987-1993 are arguably the greatest stretch in NBA history. He averaged 33.6 PPG during that span while winning DPOY, multiple scoring titles, and three consecutive championships. His 1988 season (35.0 PPG, 3.2 SPG, DPOY + scoring champ) may be the single greatest individual season ever.
